Steve I have been using a form of the "The Equity Curve" for years. I discovered this technique on my own when I first entered the market. I truly believe this is a must to traders. I do have a question for you. I think that keeping a diary would be beneficial. You have said you use one very effectively. After your post of reviewing your trades, I started to keep one. Thus far I have not been able to achieve any benefit. Could you explain what information you write? Maybe you have a favorite format that you use? Anything that might help.

*COPYING LINKS ON IE* First of all, I am a dedicated NETSCAPE user. But I decided to give your problem a crack and this is what I came up with. 1. Go to the HOTLINK ( NOT the URL in the ADDRESS box) to your article. 2. Do a right mouse click on it. 3. Select "Copy Shortcut" (which is the same as a copy except it reads the link. 4. "PASTE" it to wherever you want it to appear. I hope this helps Steve. I did this with version 4.0 so their might be a slight variation, but I am sure this will motivate you to figure it out as you now know it can be done. Good Luck, OZ

PAT, www.operasoftware.com is a FAST browser multiple windows simultaneously and other features that I use went to www.tigerinvestor.com , clicked on your article and found this in the url window tigerinvestor.com Isn't this what you need to post? Question on TA indicators, have you experimented with different combinations for individual stockes in the same market sectors? Have you looked at intramarket hedging (Germany/US/Canada) because of the time, information or sentiment lags? Thank you ynot ;)

Steve, I'm finding that a form of EQT works for the long-term as well, and want to chip in my 2 cents by way of thanks for all you guys (and gals, ISpec and KM) do here. Six years ago I decided to compute my "net worth" just to see where I was at. Wasn't much to look at, but a couple years later I started plotting it quarterly and it kept moving up. But it wasn't moving as fast as I wanted it to, and that was definite motivation to start paying closer attention. So I graduated from "mutual funds in the 401k" to "discount broker account that I had to call" to "online discount broker with cheap, position trades". Lo and behold, the chart is not only going up, but even starting to arc! While I don't expect it to be exploding any time soon (I'm not quite as driven as you daytraders), many of the points in your article apply even to us investors. Tracking the numbers helps keep you keep in mind where you're at, where you're going, and how fast. And there are subconscious connections that are made, leading you on when the conscious mind is ready to take the plunge. So thanks again, to all of you who are further along that curve. If we lurkers and newbies pay close attention, we'll be on your tails in no time! Pete
