I beg to differ. The objective on the "short skirt" is 3 points. As for the other "20 patterns", well that's not exactly true. She basically trades retracements - stops and objectives varies based on the time frame. But let's be honest here. All systems and methods fail. And all...

That is good advice, Brandonf. In fact there is a fantastic human being in the next room who year after year has shown nothing but support in this effort. I don't know how many times I have announced that this is it, I have finally crossed over, we're on our way - only to fail again. Not...

It's always YODA, YODA, YODA with you, nitro. Yoda this, Yoda that...geesh...

...ouuuuu! That sounds interesting. I'll bet that Subbie would be interested as well. Who says that good things don't come from being on this board!!!

I’ve given that some thought. But in my zeal to be open and honest, with you as well as myself, I must tell you that I have rejected the idea. I have great respect for Linda, and have learned much from her writings. But a Guru is not what I need, or desire. There is nothing new, or...

They do understand, they do understand!!! It's a real kick in the ass, isn't it. You bust a gut learning what works. Overcome most of the problems, such as the fear of pulling the trigger. But then you sabotage yourself by failing to work the trade properly. Wow, what a surprise to find...

Be that the case, may my journey be in solitude :)

Trading is no longer "just a hobbY", but it remains a "game" - and I hope that it always will. Admittedly, my fear and trepidation is overstated. It more or less comes down to the "fear" of making a fool of myself in "public". However: should that happen, it may well be the least of the...

My God, my God, what have I done? This journal thing seemed like such a good idea last night. But now I am not so sure. Allow me to explain. I have been at this for a very long time. It is the greatest challenge I have ever encountered. It all started out with the dream of becoming rich...

Thanx Tri... Just knowing that I already have Slubliminal in a snit should be all the encouragement needed.

Perchance if The Sub-dude could get his mind out of the gutter, his own trading would improve five fold. The truth of the matter is that I do sit here in a cute little short skirt while trading this pattern. I switched to this method after running into some problems selling naked calls - but...

One additional point: I currently trade theses setups now, and with close to a 75% success rate. The problem is that I rarely follow all the way through - bailing out with a point or so profit, and not giving the trade enough "wiggle" room. I want (need) to play them as they should be played...

I have a lot of experience as well :>) I sit here and see these things set up several times, most days. But have failed to act on most of them, or take them, but don't follow all the way through. And that is the point of the "journal" - to force me to trade as I should, or make a fool of...

Well, I guess that's what this so called journal will attempt to find out. The following is a more complete explanation as found in the FAQ section of Linda's web site: What is the Short Skirt Trade? A SHORT SKIRT is a quick scalp trade made in the direction of the short-term trend...

A trend is nothing more than a series (two or more) of higher highs, and higher lows - for an uptrend, the reverse for a down trend. Much of this is subjective. You must have a feeling for the market - you are looking at the slope or angle as measured by the 20 EMA to determine trend...

Have you ever encountered a method of trading that works – really works – but have been unable to make it work for you? That seems to be my life’s story. I have been at this game for a long time, and I am pretty good at it, if I must say so myself. I only have a few things to overcome...

They got it about the same time Iraq did... Haven't you read the book: Libya's Bomb Maker?

Nearly 60,000 young people lost their lives in Southeast Asia based on a lie this Nation told to its people. The only thing that seem to hold American's together is a "common enemy". Take away the enemy. and we fight among ourselves. We are indeed a sad lot.

The point is you and like minded armchair generals keep talking about how "we" should do this or that - when in fact you mean "they". I am not surprised that the point went right over your head. People so willing to rid the world of undesirables should be willing to do the job themselves...
