Hey Girlpower! As always, you make me envy you deeply...Quote from Girlpower:
Very good description.
The other ones are the 'I'm bored - this is slow - let's create some action' spikes, and the 'I've just got back from lunch lets get trading' spikes.

I think only professionals are aware that CASH is also the most dangerous position - Since it has the power to jump in from the sidelines anytime to change the flow of the market!Quote from Scottie:
I think it happens to all but the very best. Just realise when its happening, and know that CASH is an excellent position.

Not only that you know how to scalp with a 90-95% hitrate,
but on top of that I'd love to be in your position to just say "I'm bored. Let's create some action spikes!"...
What RU flippin' doin' it on the ES, Natalie? 250-lots?

As always, you are damn right indahook...Quote from indahook:
I prefer to trade illogical overextension......just like the SPY at 98.20 a few minutes ago..with my logical exit right here at 98.6.....nice post Scientist.

"Illogical Overextension" is actually what I meant. I meant "when it looks logically overextended". But yeah. I meant when it looks overextended for no logical reasons. Or logically. Or logically or not... Umm...
Gee this is a sticky concept. Let's call Stephen Hawking and see what he says about overextension...
As always, I'm shocked at your observation and evaluation, indahook. You must be a scary trader.
Damn Devildogs ain't miss sight of anything...

hi. i used to do the same thing. do good in the morning because i thin i'm all awake and ready and then screw up in the afternoon.now i just leave to protect myself from myself. i still feel guilty because i feel i'm being lazy but oh well. i just try and make a living and not try and become george soros.Quote from Flashboy:
I have weekly goals which I break down into daily goals.. and many a days I'll double my daily goal early in the morning and give back a chunk of it in the afternoon basically because I feel a need to participate..

Quote from Girlpower:
And obviously you feel like the entire market was watching your trading finger for it to press the button to exit so it could go on down...?
