lol

tell me if u set that up, i will get it for some of my colleagues here!

Trading after 11:00 AM, definately reduces the odds of being profitable, 90% of the trading days in this market past few months.

Adapt or die...the rule is not the strongest, or the fastest or the brightest win...but rather those that adapt faster. I've switched from short term (intra-day) to long term swings. So far so good. If/when that fails, I'll be on to some other strategy.

truer words have never been spoken! I trade only between 9:30 to 11, and 2:30 to 4

You mean you are awake from 2:30-4, or do you nap from 11-2:30!

Only trade 30 min patterns in the lunch hour...Obvious setups. Prior 11.00 am is where the gold is.

My BIGGEST problem has been/continues to be over trading...its killing my profits....I need to hire a sumo wrestler to sit next to me and hold/ slap me everytime I break one of my rules....or I can get an electrician to hook up a 110volt shocker to my system and link it to a set of programmed rules somehow...

Ahhhh overtrading...the bane of traders...

Usually from greed, boredom, or need to fulfill that high you get when you're in a trade (not unlike a gambler)...

...Look within, not out!!!
