I know you have probably heard this a million times before Sub, but it seems very applicable after reading the last 2 weeks worth of results... "You can't eat like a bird and shit like an elaphant!"
MrsS obviously has a problem with her ability to interpret information (look what she has given birth to). What I told her was that I was having the sex change operation. That part is true. I have always been a lesbian trapped in a man's body. The part about the convent and becoming a nun? My only guess is that I said something about I was "always content when I was having fun". Something like that. She is a crazy old biddy, so who knows what she was thinking? Hope this clears it up for you dilman57 Apologies to Tampa for writing in this thread. But this question did involve me on a personal level. Rs7
rs7, picture this: Thumb on left hand placed in my left ear, remaining fingers wildly wiggling. Thumb on right hand placed in my right ear, remaining fingers wiggling wildly. Tongue extended past my lips, while making the "raspberry" sound. However, I do agree that Mrs. Subbie is a wacky old lady.
Tampa, that is how I always pictured you! And she is indeed a bit wacky. You and I are agreeing on a lot of stuff lately. Watch out, things like this could ruin a man. Bad for the old reputation. Very little upside in agreeing with me. Look what happened to the Kennedy's, Martin Luther King, and Gumby. rs7
Except, it would seem, for who would pay the bill at that Casablancan whorehouse. You both bolted leaving me penniless, trouserless and at the mercy of that 300lb eunuch. Back to business. I appreciate all the feedback and have made the following changes (in bold) to my Trading Plan : Rule 2 of Trading Rules becomes : 2. Generally, no positions to be opened before 9:30am. No open positions just before and after economic numbers. More selectivity to be exercised during the midday doldrums. Rule 10 of Trading Rules becomes : 10. Apart from the contingencies in (9) above, trading is to cease at 4:00pm or upon reaching a realized profit of at least MCS*6 points, whichever comes first. Initially I wanted to lower my daily stop loss from 10 to 7.5 points, but with the change to rule 10, I will hold off for a while. Rather than starving the elephant, I'll force-feed the bird.
Can't believe Tampa stuck you like that. He told me he had it handled as I was hopping on my rent-a-camel (which smelled quite a bit like the women in that place). rs7
The old Presario was playing up in the morning and I experienced difficulty gaining access to the Win2K partition. I consequently missed the first hour which till now virtually constituted my entire trading day. I was heading for the door on my way to put in some more valuable community service hours when I suddenly recalled the changes I had made to my trading plan just a few hours earlier. Executing a triple backflip that would have scored at least 9.985, I landed perfectly on my wooden stool and was up and trading quicker than a French judge can be bribed. I increased my profit target to 1 point, except for the last trade where I mistakenly thought 0.75 points would be enough to hit my 6 point daily target. I erred. I also stopped for the day. +5.875 pts / 10 RT / 2 ct lots
Way to go,, Subbie! Yesterday was a tough one to trade. Glad to see that you hung in there, and got a lot of it back. P.S. I also took a hit on Tuesday, but got all of it back today.
The Plan helped suppress the urge to get up after 3 trades. Force-feeding, yuk! +6.0 pts / 6 RT / 2 ct lots
Now I could be wrong - I was once before, back in '57 or maybe it was '54, I don't know for sure, I was very young back then - but I have this feeling deep within that you are on your way, Subbie! Seeing how you trade early, and I tend to trade later in the session, it won't be my money flowing into your pocket, so I sure hope I am right.
