Hello Hal, >>What haapined ???<< The contest offered me the opportunity to test some short term trading indicators that I've been developing over the last few weeks. They are based on common oscilators/RSI/MACD/etc and are significantly different then the system which I was using prior to the contest and the preceding 6 months. For instance...I've not plotted any Time Projections throughout the contest until yesterday. It appears that something has been worked out of my system. <<smile>> I've been fascinated with finding internal clues to market movements when and after the pitchfork median lines have been reached. It's apparent that this new avenue of interest has added confusion rather then clarity. But I'm very pleased to have worked with these interests and now can move them Off my trading screens. Trading is different then solving a mathematical problem, completing a Phd in chemistry or putting together an architectural structure. Being successful at trading as well as keeping your money seems to require a substantially different mix of "Intuition and Knowledge."
