The only thing I do on the fly, I suppose, is to actually make the decision whether or not to take the trade I planned out prior to the Open so I suppose that's accurate. I've developed System Trades that I've been using as well, there is no planning necessary for them. But of course there is no decision necessary at any time. It's purely mechanical. What I was thinking of was the pressure of economic reality. The fact that this is the difference between feeding your family and losing your house. Trying to stretch a trade because you were down on a prior one or because the mortgage just hit and the kid's doctor bills aren't paid yet. It takes awhile to get adjusted to that, it's what I thought you were driving at when you posted to David. This is morbid. I think I shall go see if the b@st@ards kill Kenny.
