Off Topic You know how trading is. Sometimes you are bullet-proof, sometimes bullet-ridden. But right now, I not only have the euphoria of being bullet-proof I have the sense of confidence that I am comfortable knowing what to do exactly where it should be done. It's not just the old "Click, Click, BOOM", it's being totally unafraid to pull the trigger in the first place. The only trade I had doubts about yesterday was the last one, and it was the one I had a loser on. I shrugged off that stuff from the youngest, as well. But he is only 8 and the rule here is that computers go down the line by age as I am chucking one for a new one. The others were disappointed that Euclid was not replacing Pythagoras. My other current guys are Cuchulain, Sidhe, Tain Bo Cuilnge, HAL (of course), and Myrddin. The oldest ones are long gone and I have forgotton their names. Anyway, I have to wait to get any use out of Euclid, as I need to get the cables to split the data and see if I can find a disk around here with Ensign software on it. If not, I have to get it from a data provider or actually go out and buy it. Because stocks and commodities are different accounts, I don't have as much cash in the futures account as I would like. I want to be in a position where I would be comfortable trading 100 lots if I felt I had a high probability for success on the trade.
