Bdog, I wish I had bought it along with ATS." You can't buy everything.....where would you put it?? The strict trend line stuff that you'll see in Seattle will definitely help you with this: " Instead I kept my losers." Not like you haven't seen the trend line stuff before...it's just that this time......you better be paying attention. By The Way...I've taken the last step toward finalization of the 8/28 Seattle seminar. All details are now available. Anyone with the spark of desire to better understand price movement as can be grasped via the perspectives I offer can e-mail me to receive the seminar details. As always my email address is tiric@aol.com. Quite a few thread regulars (from Bdog to David J and B Turner) will attend. The level of discourse concerning taking the best advantage of trading opportunities promises to be of the highest level of quality. Seattle is rockin' Doug R

bdog i quit trying to tweak it, yes. by not tweaking, the problem becomes too many to track though...but, if ya jump on one and manage it properly, seems to be the biggest key to me anymore.not that i always get that right either... i caught a couple of rockets lately from that scan and the +25s. i also miss shitlodes more than i catch, and sometimes one looks like the right one while another one just flies past ya!!! meanwhile, yer waiting...hindsight? it'll drive ya nutz alright. i am trying real hard to say to myself sometimes, "it was a good trade" after seeing 5-6 better trades go by.it may not have been the best trade or the best of the hits, but if i managed it to my satisfaction, then that's best for my mindset. i hafta tell myself i can't keep kikkin myself for what i miss or leave on the table. not if i expect to be at my best everyday. i know that path, alright.(and i still do).but it starts to distract my perspective/confidence at times i've noticed. i hafta rely on what i know works best for me and stay within the boundaries of that system. its so true about what they say, letting a trade get to you, the woulda, coulda, shoulda side. although its hard to just pick up and move on after it shows up on yer scan the nite before and yer that close to it... maintaining the perspective/mindset/system keeps you in a position to possibly find the next launcher. i'll confirm "emotions are baggage" theories! i've missed chances just becuz i wasn't responding to my system, but rather an emotional brainframe. i can't allow it in anymore, so i wait and manage... the best thing is, another batch of scans will kik out the next set of opportunities. you can capture the emotion/psychology of a chart sometimes thru the scan,you can see it in the indicators, but you'll never tweak to find true conviction,otherwise, every scan hit would be a monster...i think that comes thru intraday observation. even then the mkt can be too fast to catch... so you put yer money in the one that looks the best at the time and manage it to suit your style/system, the rockets are bonuses milesov
