As we all know, this is a forum for "trading" journals. As we also know, there ain't a lot of real trading talk in this journal. So every now and then we toss a bone to the moderator - Magna The Wise.

Below (I hope) is Thursday's 5 minute YM chart. Playing it VERY conservatively, there were 2 trades for 111 points ($555.00).

A Woodie purest would not look at the price chart, but I included it for a better understanding. The "signals" are clear and known to everyone in Woodie's room - i.e. no borderline calls.

tampa, it does me good to see you once again behind the keyboard.

Did you happen to give up the orange juice (the coffee sub)?

And it has probably been years since I read through the meat of your journal here, but did you not at some point in the past attempt Woodies cciclub?

Make 'em pretty, Chris

Nice Tamp

Keep those pics coming.
 
I agree with the post by Croc, get those darn things emailed to you! And make sure that your account password is not written down anywhere, so she can't login to read them. And one more thing, never leave your trading platform open and unattended, if your wife is like mine, she'll figure out how to check the account balance before you've even poured the cup of coffee you wnet to get!

I checked out Woodie's Room in one of my recent "Quest for the Grail" adventures, but it looked like alot more work than I was ready to invest. For those that have, it seems to be a pretty good method, and they have a nice community-thing going. So I just keep plugging along with my limited understanidng of the way things work, and spend my spare time thinking of ways to explain to the wife that the trip to Hawaii will have to wait "one more year".

DB...you of all people should know that one cannot believe everything you read in this "journal".

But to answer your questions:

1. It was diet orange soda...and I still have a large glassof it by my side...I can't drink coffee any more, damn-it.

2. I fibbed.
 
I cannot emphasize the importance of resourcefulness in trading – even to the point of thinking outside of the box. If you want to be a trader, than one must be prepared for any eventuality.

Take this morning, as an example. I’m sitting here, ready to go with one minute until the market opens when the power went off. An electrical storm? A system outage? Nope, it was the wife. Knowing that the market was about to open, she sneaks down to the basement and tripped the main circuit breaker. A lesser trader would have been out of luck, but this trader was prepared – prepared with a 75 foot heavy duty extension cord. I simply ran the cord from my office window, across the lawn over to the neighbor’s outdoor patio outlet – and in less than two minutes, I had defeated the wife, and was back in business.

In hindsight, things might have been better had I been left in the dark, as I suffered a 38 point loss on the trade that I made, but you know what they say – hindsight is 20-20.

Check back often for other tips and hints on how a dedicated and determined trader can overcome any obstacle.
