Lee, It was me a year ago last May. I had hernia surgery and was popping vicodins for the pain. A very expensive lesson about trading fully sober. I took a very major hit to my trading account. I am going under the knife again in two weeks (knee surgery as well, ACL and MCL) and plan on having all of my positions closed the day before I go in. I actually have that as one of my trading rules now. -No trading while on painkillers. JXM

Yes, you are correct. Found a new vitamin in the closet last night as a matter of fact. Percoset. Really worried about digesting it, but it seemed to work. ------------------------------- Actually I have new systems for trading across 6 markets, so I can daytrade when I am better. If something looks okay Monday then a position trade may click. "Nice" thing about futures is a stop will normally take you out without too much damage. With these systems I'll have approximate Entry/Stop points before the day starts. Actually, the only market system that has me worried is the SP. Simply because of the possible whipsaws. There, I may ease into the system using only a pair of small contracts until some real-time confidence is accumulated.
