Blog - 8/25/2010

My life has become crazy again. Work is very busy. My personal life is a little crazy and now I have a health issue to deal with. I have nearly stopped trading and the markets are just not fun right now.

Instead of posting the Big Mouth Stocks and my once in a blue moon trade, I am going to take a break from blogging. I am expect I will be back later in September. To my few regular readers, good luck trading and I will be back.

Crap Crap Crap Crap Crap 8/2/2010

My brain and my system that I created to trade the Dow Futures seems to look a lot better on the Crude Oil Futures. I have no reason why. A long time ago I create a simple system and while I was trying to test it, the way the Globex market reported YM trades changed. My system no longer worked and I could not figure it out and I did not want to bend it to make it fit.
-
One day I started looking at the Crude and thinking it might work here. It looks promising.
-
Now if I could only over come my market stupidity (aka emotions) , I might make some money. Details on the chart.
