    1st entry
    It often seems like trading overnight would pan out. For instance, today presented an opportunity to enter a short in the middle of the night as it often does. The action has been pretty indicative of a short on this run up. I can't seem to pull the trigger, nor do I really have a plan to do so.
    I really don't want to experience too great of a draw down and spiral down a path of frantic trading.I know where I can be profitable with the least amount of stress and failure. My plan for the time being is to stick to that.

    2nd entry
    I am feeling optimistic because I am continually seeing, to some degree of utility, movements that more advanced traders in the forums are discussing.
    Over the years I have met traders whom I have learned a great deal from. Yet, I am not inclined to say that I can elaborate on these lessons. That is no surprise. Communication and socializing are my weak points.
    I don't utilize a lot of the tools to the extent many of the traders use them. I use many of the same indicators to assist me in seeing the multidimensional snap pictures of the market to arrive at a decision to execute.
    My chart. Its simple. What if it is just too simple?

    3rd entry
    I'm not sure if I want to stop posting so many entries on the fly like I have been doing. The pages are adding up really fast. I like reading over my posts and visualizing the path I have taken.
    I hope someone out there is enjoying the voyeuristic aspect of this journal, as it isn't a technical journal nor any sort of journal with any direction.
