Well, looks like my long might have worked out. From 29 to 36 at the close, a 7 point cushion...however, I did not want to do that for real. I suppose, had I been thinking more clearly, I should have gotten long at 29 and then closed it out at the close if I did not like it. 7 points, I think I could have slept with that. I was thinking more about correct entry for a positional trade and being comfortable at the close than closing it out and starting over tomorrow. Oh well, the 5,10, and 15 minute charts still look like an entry in the mid 30's will be a good entry. Wonder if I will get that chance tomorrow. Sorry about the computer troubles. Some days I have problems, others it is fine. Very strange..... Later. -Scott

Pat, <<I think I've become too comfortable. One really needs to have an "edge", a desire to win, else trading gets too sloppy. Perhaps I should get into a street fight or something just to hone up.>> Agreed.. But not to fight. This weekend.. I become obsessed with this stuff.. to close out the year in good fashion.. So I worked and ran and worked and ran.. And made some progress I believe.. My stuff held together nicely. although I didn't trade it.. Anyway good luck and be careful of those streets.. the trails are safer.. the Coug.. "In Nature I Trust"
