...what if? So, Iâm sitting around thinking about all the stupid trades that are made â all the good trades that arenât. And what can be done to correct these âlittleâ problems. Itâs not a new question. Itâs not like some of the brightest people havenât tried to come up with the answer. To be sure, some traders have come up with answers that work â work a lot of the time, but not all of the time. And even those who have more or less solved their own personal issues find it impossible to transfer the answer on to others. What if any time you did something really stupid in the market, your car would be confiscated for one month, and in the interim youâd have to get around riding a jackass? Riding a jackass to work, to social events, to church â no matter what. Cold, rain, sleet â whatever. A smelly old, angry jackass â no exceptions. Well, it was just a thought... (go on, admit it â admit that you can see yourself on the back of some old mule getting around town, and everyone is pointing and laughing...and worse yet, they all know why you have to do it...kind of a sobering thought, ainât it)

(Well it sure is getting crowded here in âjournalvilleâ! It seems that everybody thinks that the world eagerly awaits written confirmation of their misadventures. It takes a special talent to day in and day out publicly mess up. One has to have just the right âfeelâ for when itâs time to have a good day, or just how long to let a losing streak run â these are all important elements in âjurnalographyâ. I donât know how many of these would-be Hemingways have it in them. Another important factor is having pockets deep enough to allow the journal to fully develop, before the old account gives out â there could be more âshort storiesâ than ânovelsâ, if you get my drift. Well, time will tell who makes it, and who doesnât) My gosh, judging from the futures, something must have happened overnight! Does anyone get a newspaper? Can anyone tell me what the buzz is? Oh never min. I like surprises. Letâs boogie! Ring that bell, and let the fun begin!!!
* In deference to member daniel m, todayâs remarks will contain no cute little names for any of the setups traded â or not traded for that matter. Thank you for your understanding in this issue. After the open... After a hardy breakfast consisting of what remained from last nightâs Hamburger Helper, imagine my surprise to find that the overnighters had run the market ridiculously high â NOT More and more, it seems that the only tradable trends start at 3:00AM, and end at the official New York opening. But I gather I am not the only one to have noticed this simple fact. All I can say is: &%(#$#&! I mean, like it really messes up the charts and everything! I wish they would stop doing that. Canât we pass a law or something? After yesterdayâs big win, I figured out that all youâd have to do to double a million dollar account in 40 years is just take two points a day on a one lot. That shouldnât be too hard to do. 10:03 A near picture perfect _________ (see * above) set up, but because of the __________, I elected to pass on it. I nissed the __________ at 10:17, and also the __________ at 10:34 because I had to clean out the catâs litter box. But I do have high hopes for the afternoon session. Iâll let you know how it turns out.
10:31 Sld @879 1/4 Where do they keep the jackass tied up? A bit too skittish, I settled for a ¼ point. It coulda/shoulda been more. But before you jump all over me, just remember that Linda says that any profit is good, and sheâs doinâ a heck of a lot better than you â so there! So, how do I really feel about the morning? I donât know â this monster gap crap is really starting to yank on my chain. The simple truth is that I donât know how to play them â period. And I sure am getting tired of sitting here just watching the world go by.
A fair question deserves an honest answer. The "pull-back" was less than I look for. It turned out to be the kind of trade I only see "after the fact". I readily admit to being very weak in strong openings - I am afraid to go with them, and just as afraid to go against them That makes it tough in this environment.
I read journal and hear mucho prop for LBR. I think you all been sorely mistaken. I have link to dispell myth and enlighten the masses: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=linda+raschke&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search yenzen
