JJ--------------- OT I got your PM, and my reply to Labman was based partially on your PM, I had taken into cosideration all the points you had highlighted. In a dynamic market where we are commenting on every small move day in day out, my propensity to err is great. However, try to explain the broad out lines of my thinking process, I don't think it is complete lot i's need to be dotted and lot of t's need to be crossed. This whole SI experience for me is a part of continued education, I am learning like you are. I try to pick things and keep questioning my daily objectives. Lot of water has passed under the bridges since my thread was conceived. I still think that every day I learn a new thing from the markets and my own thinking process( allow me to say that this is one of those threads which has low postings which I don't mind,d I read my own posts, it is like a big stage every word I write is recorded, I look back and know exactly where I have been wrong and I try to fill that gap. This forms a continous struggle with my ownself however what I think is close dialogue with my ownself is a dislogue in public but when I write Ijst keep that thought out, I don't ever care how people are going to look at it I let my thought process unwind, this penting and raving leads me to good trading) This is an eye opening experience the cosntant war to be able to read, point the supports and than ritual of huge self indulgence big time too without any remorse. JJ-- This thread is a strange mix of constant search of true direction showing my humility to the market, understanding of my frailites towards the size of the market and huge self- adulation as if the whole 'arena' stands up to applaud Ike as he makes a great entry after a completely 'wasted call' ggg on this thread, all this is a part of complex mental exercise that keeps me going on 'Idea'. Idea is my true friend and as some of good friend pointed out my 'addiction'. A trader needs to be self confident, take pride in his work and ready to serve in his limited way. Never lose your self confidence when you talk about markets look into the eyes of levels, conquer them and be proud of that fact. Humility in life and 'loss of direction and unsurety' in market are two different things. It is this that I have never ever written I am not sure, I explain my little tiny logic every day and I take greatest of pride in my work, for I think when I write I should own it and I should act with responsibility. Thanks for letting me know that I was helpful.. Sometime I think why things could not be simple for me, why I could just not write 'thank you only' but every human being is bestowed to the hilt with 'genius and foolish streaks', some like me are extra bestowed with both 'faculties'.ggg Love and best regards..Ike
