    I just heard from Spyder that his lawn care crew cut the Internet connection. He may be unable to post for the next several days until the cable company repairs it, and apolizes in advance for any inconvenience it may cause.

    Chart for the morning.

    I was trading quite well and caught the 10:30 FTT at the top after being long.
    Then after breakout of the blue uptrend I was expecting a point three down and made several mistakes there after completely missing the 10:45 FTT. (did not have the red channel in place...). That's a pity because I gave away three points like that and made a few mistakes after that.

    Had I noticed the 10:45 FTT I would have been looking for a point three up which came exactly at 11:15 on my chart. Instead I was waiting and waiting for my point three down. This was a mistake and I should have been checking my trendlines. I had more than half an hour of time to discover I missed the 10:45 FTT but did not notice it. A good thing to do instead of "waiting" would be to check the trendlines and gaussians.... I will try to be more concentrated.

    Regards,
    Ivo

  8. Four words you don't want to hear at 9:40 AM Eastern Time,

    "Poncho cut the Cable!"

    Thankfully, the Lawn Crew Supervisor purchased a "Cable / Satelite Repair Kit," fixed the damage from Poncho's Weedeater, and re-buried the line. Señor McGyver had me back up and running before noon.

    See Attached ES Chart.
