For what its worth I have stopped drawing the lines and just visualize them in my head which actually in turn has helped me to stay focused on price. It has eliminated the "hope" that the line will hold. If price bounces hard and is about to break the line that would have been drawn that means something to me now then waiting and saying lets see if this line holds etc etc. I like it.

Glad to hear it. The importance of the lines, of course, from the beginning, was to convey the importance of the Law of Supply and Demand, particularly with regard to distinguishing up from down. To a large extent, this objective has been met by those who have been using them for a while and they are beginning to find that they can "see" price without them. And they seem to be more relaxed while trading.
The "looking for an up" and "cause we already did down" stuck with me too.
Well, the surfing part is something I only did bec the point was following the drill mechanically, I thought that some people just couldnt trace the line to spot the entry, but I guess I was wrong given the small ammount of replies I got.
The scratching part is something I am getting better at, I just did an exercise of not placing a stop and making the scratch the only alternative. It really sharpened my senses. Was like dropping the lines, you just start getting a little bit more of focus in PA, I am still amazed on how my mind works.
You aren't the only one (referring of course to my mind)
