MACD/Trendline Swing Trader

Happy New Year to all on ET. New Year, New hopes and dreams and a clean slate. Hoping for a year with less fearful and more patient trades, my 2 achilles heels of 2008. Over 70% of trades were quite profitable if held and the volatility September really rubbed this in by handing me endless huge missed opps.

I have truly learned the overwhelming importance of one's mental makeup to trading and though Santa didn't deliver the brain I am confident 2009 will be a great year.

Journal begins anew next week.
 
A very nice SP500 Weekly.... There is some gas left before a possible top... Works nicely with the an Obama 1000 SP500 top later this Month.. A backtest of 900 would be very welcome before then though since I am short....

Long DRYS 14.5.. risky and will sell 15.4 or take .5 loss.
UAUA ready to do something... Classic MACD Stochastic Conflict.. I'll favor MACD anyday.. Oil has to co-operate though..
