That was a good one, echo - made me teehee:) BTW - While less than a full week into it, I am very pleased with the “short pants” method. (You do understand that that is not what triggered Monday’s trades – I hope.) Losses average just a bit over one point. Profits average...

So Gann's Ghost isn't pissed at me? ...whew, thank God.

The worthless chart company, otherwise known as Q-Charts, did a swan dive at 2:15, and has yet to properly fill in missed data. (2:50) I guess I really, really pissed of Gann’s Ghost! Since complete data is kind of important to me, the wise thing to do would be to call it a day. For...

It’s hard to explain, and I suspect even harder to understand, but I really do better when trading size. Watching $50 fly by in the wrong direction is annoying, but... Watching $250 fly by gets my attention, and real quick... A $100 profit is nice, but... A $500 profit is something to...

...I usually hide under the bed. After yesterday’s debacle, some serious contemplation was in order. The only explanation is that I lost all objectivity. When I went back to look over the trades made, I was stuned – most made no sense what so ever! No doubt the objectivity was lost...

I know - I admitted to being a bad boy on that. Maybe it was the ghost of Gann who got hold of me this afternoon - or maybe it was my evil twin. No matter. Tuesday is another day.

I understand your puzzlement - imagine mine.

Oh Hendrix - how did you ever figure it out? I spend all of this time just to goof on YOU!

Amen

So you never had a wild and crazy day? Lucky you! Am I a happy camper? Hell no. Am I devastated? No – just kinda pissed. Today was a textbook example of at first trading out of boredom, and sustaining a relatively small loss. Followed by some revenge trading with increased size that...

Get a life...

Multiple... the 141 was the total number of contracts. the 37 points = $1,850

Oh, Hi there! I was just working on my journal – you can read over my shoulder, if you’d like. Dear Journal. What a fantastic day! The morning saw me trade as I rarely do. Discipline! All the way! The market was difficult for my style, but I did it the way it should be done...

I like that kind of thinking! Probably because it fits right in with mine.

...But just a little bit. My system/method is designed for nicely trending markets – this morning ain’t been one. But let’s cut to the chase: 9RT/ - 1 Point 3 Winners – 6 Losers So how do I feel about it? Happier than a pig in do-do. Admittedly my enthusiasm to put this...

The actual phrase is: It is not as important that I succeed, as it is that my friends fail. It is an ugly and horrid way of going through live. But I fear that it is becoming more and more common - in all of us.

There has been a lot of that, because I fully approve of that method. As for the "machine variety", I ain't so sure. Maybe that Bill Gates character programmed some weird stuff into this machine ( that rarely does what I want it to do anyway ), just to play with my head. God knows that...

The LOL part pleases me. I had no real idea where to go with this "journal" thing when it first came up. But as it has evolved, I have tried to write more about feelings, fears, greed, and just the ordinary day to day things a "trader" has to deal with. (just wait for the installment on...

You tell em', traderkay - it's seat of the pants all the way. I'm tired of some silly little lines telling me what to do! And as for that backtesting stuff - it would take at least a day and a half to get all the dust and crud off my copy of TradeStation! ( spent three grand on that...

Awh gees, did you really have to tell me that!?! I hate those squigly little lines, and all of their cousins. (I really hadn't thought about the MACD connection - but you are right) I know what you mean about the trend/non-trend situation. That's where the seat of the pants part comes...
