Hi DrBob and "The Clan"! Thanks for the "invite" to your new board and to SI. Looking forward to participating but mostly to learn and "osmose" from the more confident of the traders here. Even though I managed to preserve the bulk of my gains by getting stopped out in mid March (nice to have had that net!), the April "crash" really rattled me and my trading has since lacked confidence. I feel every downturn is a prelude to The Next Big One (correction that is), and that every upturn is phoney and meant to rob us little people of money. I also know this is not realistic, but that is just to say how rattled I got. So, I've been in learning mode, focussing on risk and integrating my indicator reading (to better spot divergences, etc). But I've been an armchair analyst too long and I need to get back in the fray. I feel like a first time parachutist clinging to the frame of the plane, not being able to jump out. As good as patience and cash is, income would be nice! Any suggestions for stage fright? I'm open to any ideas, especially those from you guys who seem to be able to open/close positions several times a day... now that is confident!
