    Vision for the Day

    A MOST BENEFICIAL USE OF TIME IS SILENT MEDITATION, WHILE SEARCHING FOR GUIDANCE FROM WITHIN. We all experience rare moments when a blinding revelation comes to us, when we suddenly see things differently than ever before. Usually, however, we learn the truth about ourselves gradually, over...

    Unbelievable. You have raised my opinon of you to a new level. Much integrity abounds. To think, you would go thru all that trouble just for moi. It would take me a week to figure out how to do the posting, let alone set the risk correctly. Class Act. Much obliged, Sheriff Dillion.

    Thanks for the kind comments. I have really benefited from the help everyone has given me. I realize I still have a ways to go yet but I am slowly getting there. If I might give you any advice it would be "less is better". I have really improved my Vision by using fewer indicators, fewer...

    Check back later tonight. I am going to post some thoughts on this along with my plans. I feel like I have this down to a system, at least about 80%. The purpose of the journal has been to fine tune it. Still much to do however. Good suggestions.

    I just looked over those last two trades after the fact. They were both good signals and I would take them again. I may have jumped a little on the second, but the signal was there. I will plan on updating everything at some point. Good suggestion. I have always encourged anyone...

    Michael, This last bunch of stuff is not normal. I have gotten in with mixed signals. One thing I am trying to do is have a minimum risk/reward of 2:1. Some trades 3:1 or 6:2. Like the earlier one. I am really concentrating on minimizing my losses first, then managing the profit...

    If you have time at some point. Look back thru the early pages of the journal. My old long lost buddy Breakout has me doin it this way and I like it. If that low is violated, most of the time, not always mind you, it will go on lower anyway. Why give them the extra money. If I'm wrong, I'm...
