TRADER, Thank you. As you may or may not know, I have been working full time the last 8 months. It was necessary for me to do that to support the pharmacist who hired me part time 6 years ago. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Beginning in August, I will have a schedule of roughly 3 days per week, more or less. How you do what you do is beyond me. You are able to work and trade at the same time. My hat is off to you. I have been able to do some position trading in the commodities during the 8 months, but frankly, I feel blind and am not comfortable. I have established a small on line account for trading stocks in preparation for my upcoming freedom. I have been looking at Bridge CRB for real time data which would give me commodities plus stocks for roughly $100 per month plus exchange fees. They have an option which offers NASDAC level II also. For the time being, I will trade on your recommendations and I am advanced enough to keep my trading capital. Hopefully. Keep up the good work and know that I value this thread and the discussion of technical aspects greatly. Anyone can talk, but few can apply with success. I may be daytrading stocks and commodities simultaneously as I see great value in both. Whether this system will allow the vision that I need (two days per week) is yet to be seen. I agree that you need to be gratly right a few times if you limit risk and you know the rest. I do feel that there will come a time real soon when one might wish to take a very long position in out of the money calls on the commodities, particularly grains,ets. I watch these daily and will advise privately when I see the bottom, or I will ask you if you see the bottom. Best regards, and thanks again! Go Trader! And all small traders! Jack
