The market had a strong move up and may still have alittle left in it, but I will focus on stocks that are getting extended and look for some clean short set ups.
Watching KLAC short.

I sure hope everyone who wants to be successful is paying attention to the sheer magic behind these numbers.

Geez, nice work, well ahead of target, too, despite a "tough" week.
 
ND,

I admire your discipline and your ability to read price action. Also, love the detailed explanations on each trade.

You don't seem to be following a rigid system, you talk about using stochastics, but it seems like most of your trades are discretionary. My question is - how did you develop the confidence to go live without having any real expectancy? I assume you didn't do any serious back testing, don't know how you could based on the non-programmable approach you use.

Anyway, keep up the good work, I think you are inspiring a lot of people here.
