03/20/09: The market had a strong move up and may still have alittle left in it, but I will focus on stocks that are getting extended and look for some clean short set ups. Watching KLAC short.

I sure hope everyone who wants to be successful is paying attention to the sheer magic behind these numbers. Geez, nice work, well ahead of target, too, despite a "tough" week.
ND, I admire your discipline and your ability to read price action. Also, love the detailed explanations on each trade. You don't seem to be following a rigid system, you talk about using stochastics, but it seems like most of your trades are discretionary. My question is - how did you develop the confidence to go live without having any real expectancy? I assume you didn't do any serious back testing, don't know how you could based on the non-programmable approach you use. Anyway, keep up the good work, I think you are inspiring a lot of people here.
