[OEXCHAOS]

Nav, I remember the other day you muffed one so I thought I'd share my screw up... Well, we got a long set up (that I actually saw) so I bought and we got long at 144500, target 145600. Then the trend got a little iffy, but turned back strong, and then we got overbought. I made the mistake of looking at a 1 minute chart, and that was just enough to throw me off and I blew them out at 145075 like some rank amateur. Note to self: once in a position, especially a prudent, well considered position, put your stop and target in and leave or at least move to an hourly chart. Sure, any 5+ point profit is nice but I left way too much on the table. The one minute chart is the enemy! Mark

Ay, Nav has mentioned many times that looking at anything lower than 30-min is bad news and just leads to mistakes. I have followed his advice and got rid of all those charts. Makes it simpler that way.

Nav,
