  2. Congrats. The real question now is will you stop after you hit 35K or keep going for more? It would be an interesting opportunity and dilemma at the same time.

    I have to add my two cents as well ... was looking over your stats YTD and they are worth studying for anyone who is putting together a trading strategy. More losers then winners all the while putting 14K in the till.... thats great work.

    Thank you AC3, Fabio, Brock:

    Psychologically it's alittle disheartening being below 50% avg, but it's been a tough market since Jan.

    Last year, in a nice (down) trending market I was at 56% avg.-hopefully we can get a nice trend going and make it easier to find good daily setups which, in turn makes it easier to trade intraday.

    I will be watching CECO and OC early for shorts (due to the daily setups on each).
    Over the indexes still look strong, but getting extended..so it's hard to decide which way they turn.

    Good trading all!
