...oh crap. While I was posting my mid-morning update, a grail set up on the three-minute chart at about 11:00. It worked out quite well. Now technically I am not trading that pattern, but I really don’t want to offend you know who, even if she still insists that she isn’t following...

It was Richard Dortch (Pastor Dortch), President of Jim Bakker's PTL Club. We met in a restaurant - sorry...

Have you ever talked to John Lennon for three hours over breakfast? I have. Have you ever been homeless, and slept on a park bench for three months? (Second bench, junkies row, Washington Square) I have. Have you ever signed a seven-figure employment contract? I have. Have you ever...

With no losses yesterday, and the confidence that that brings, I have upped my lot size to 17. I've always liked the number, and since I have yet to make a trade, it has not been a problem with the margin department.

I am sorry to have to say this, but you sir, are nothing more than a common tease! So much for: Traders helping traders - huh?

I noticed that toward the end of the post,Mister Note speaks of credibility with his readers. Perhaps I was out that day, but since when has credibility been required on this board?

Before we get down to the particulars of the day’s trading adventures, I have had a number of requests concerning the new chart background color. I had previously used black, with light gray price bars. The new background is cyan; however, I am still experimenting with the actual bars...

Inspired by all the nice advice and helpful tips, I spent much of last night making major revisions to my trading plan. First and foremost, I changed the background color on my charts - this may be just the edge I need! Secondly, as a tribute to LBR (I don't care what C-Wiz says, I know...

...well, isn't that special (sigh). (now if I can just figure out how to "translate" the damn thing into a few measly profits) And I thought that the French disliked Americans. All I was trying to do was improve my trading, and now I find that I am contributing to world harmony!

...well, that's nice (I guess). So my misery is a big hit at the local High School. By any chance, would you know if the staff at Bright Trading are logging in?

...oh. So I sit here suffering, agonizing, and sweating, and she would let me slowly twist in the wind - I get it. (and after all I've done for her - well, I would have done something if she had asked) So she doesn't want any reports. Fine, good, OK. (maybe she has a weak stomach)...

I can live with everyone looking over my shoulder - so what. But knowing that SHE is getting reports - now that's a little un-nerving...

Paying for a data feed is the least of the indignities I have suffered in the market.

With the added pressure of knowing that the LBR people are looking over my shoulder, and that I might have to account to more than just my wife for any bad/questionable trades, (if you get my drift), the post-lunch period was tense to say the least. (What ever possessed me to do this...

...so, you mentioned this little thing to Linda. That's nice. (oh crap) (does anyone know how you go about changing your name on ET?) Well, tell her I said hello, and when I get these "short pants" trades worked out, I'd be pleased to give her some tips. Traders helping traders -...

Oh my God – THIS IS A DISASTER! Hear I am publicly perverting LBR’s “short skirt” method, and I get caught! (Gees, do you suppose Linda knows? This is embarrassing to the n’th degree.) Oh, Hi Chris! No, I am not the least bit insulted. In fact I am amazed at the time and...

It’s Monday morning, and that means a new beginning. One full of the usual optimism and positive expectations. While at the same time, a touch of apprehension. A possible short set up at 9:49 @832 – I let it pass, as it just doesn’t feel right. My instincts prove correct, and...

Pulling the trigger has not been a problem with me for a long time - the problem has been pulling it too quickly after entering! I will be attempting to enter on the flag formations as they turn - nice work if you can get it:)

I have but one option available to me. It can be summed up in three words: Back to Basics. At this point in time, the only thing that matters is regaining my discipline and confidence. I will concentrate on what works best for me, with a major focus on trade selectivity. I suspect that...

Two weeks have passed now, with no forward progress to report. On the contrary. Stepping aside, and reading back over the material, one is left with the impression of serious backsliding. This is not an easy admission to make, but it is the only conclusion one can come to. Along the way...
