wave 1 up lol. this is a wave 2 i am convinced that a least 50 % of trading is based on the confidence to believe in your own work and to stick with it and not get shaken out by ANYTHING. and that is no easy feat. g

Getting positive divergences on the 60 minute charts of RUT, NDX, and IXM. If it will hold together for the next couple of hours, then we shoud head up a little on Monday. Should have took profits yesterday. Man, they can punish you.

When the volatility is so great, you should simply fully hedge all of your open positions and decide during the regular hours, you won't miss much.

Thanks for sharing something I feek is very wise.

I appreciate that wisdom,,,,"i am convinced that a least 50 % of trading is based on the confidence to believe
in your own work"


However,..I don't believe strongly as you in this,.." and to stick with it and not get shaken out by
ANYTHING."


No flexibility to be wrong,... may negate any or all of the positive percentage my confidence in my work has to offer me as a trading edge.

I believe in the right to flexibility,.. and the fact that me and my signals are wrong...20-30% of the time....if I was not to be shaken during those

times I would be Flat BROKE !
