Actually almost as bad as the BLUD trade...
A profitable one - but one that should have been by far my best trade of the month... Much more painful than any of my losses... If you have a...
...now that I've gotten that out of my system... or at least have begun the process of doing so... There's nothing wrong with my theory and my...
...but am not getting much out of this journal, either... no feedback.. no idea who is downloading the trades I post... whether anyone else gets...
... bad, painfully bad trading today... confidence shot on repeated attempted gap fades on VRTS that didn't get anywhere... began to feel world...
Even on strong up days, even on otherwise decent looking "Rudd breakout" patterns, odds still are against breakout plays with entries below...
Figures it'd be a little short on a day like today ... With the exception of a couple of scalps though, all the longs I tried today were shakeouts.

As though to prove the point I was making in re ISSX above (and I do not discount the role of subconscious compulsion in trading), here's CHKP, a...
This trade ccasioned some discussion in the ET chatroom between our good friend Mr. Nitro and myself on the value of Barry Rudd's STOCK PATTERNS...
Yeah... they should just come clean and change their name to "Angry Black Brokers."
Arguably another variation on the theoretically fadable "volatile breakdown into support" kind of trade, the consolidation could certainly have...
Well.. by the numbers it was... It looks less "likely" in the capture than it did as it was unfolding, following through on a downtrend,...
I don't follow IBM, but I have in the past found AMAT fairly tradable. Though it produces smaller range except when under major news pressure,...
now don't get TOO excited by this trade for all of .13 or so - though that does qualify as, like, .03 of extension! Actually, had hoped for...
