YM 2 min - 1 trade/+8 ticks

Big doings in chartland. Switched the background to green again. The grey was getting to be a drab winter downer. Catchers and pitchers report to spring training in just two weeks. Can you smell the grass? Not that kind of grass, Cheech. Got rid of the green and red LSMA dots on the CCI zero line after the close today, too. I've been getting nuanced up the ass. I already removed the 25 LSMA off the price chart long ago, and as for price action, I'm keying in on the 8 and 34 EMA, plus that CCI-Fib middleline (has Woodie abandoned this new contraption already?). That's enough shit to eyeball during ZLRs. There's no sidewinder for the Sierra, and frankly, I could care less about it anymore. I think looking at my MAs and their slope is more than enough.

Sooooo, only one trade today. I don't know if that's an r7 "notch" trade (are there such things as a notch trade?), but I took it as a ZLR long with a decent bline sling. Traded two contracts and got all in and all out at +8 ticks. Trading multi-contracts should be easier than one, but I'm not ready for it. I lost my comcrap connection for 15-20 minutes after that. That crap always makes you hesitant to play with real money for the rest of the day.

Oh, saw a WTF thing in Woodie's chat today. This was just mentioned in the Cheese's wonderful Cheese & Whine Blog but I saw it with my own eyes and wanted to give it a mention here. This afternoon Woodie announced a YM ZLR/TLB long on the 28 min chart. This was, in his own words, to get in one bar ahead of the 30 min chart folks. Wow. I think that long was in the red from the get-go, but that's neither here nor there.

So what the hell is going on with Woodie and his room? I'm only a casual visitor to the main room now. Since the room mitosis I've also been parking myself in the calm of the students room to breathe the fresh air and listen to the quiet, peaceful chirping within. The main room has gone through some changes. One of the new moderators, Samson, was on this morning going on and on about some more changes. Something about how the mods will not be calling out entries and exits anymore. They won't be doing this, they won't be doing that. It's all for our protection. The SEC is watching. A few rotten apples have spoiled the bunch. It's better this way. Yada yada yada. Half of his talking was going over the stuff he wouldn't be talking about. Then another of the new mods, Paul, takes over for the afternoon shift, and he's calling out his entries and exits, which I can only assume meant he wasn't protecting us at all from the people and official agencies we need protecting from. I have no idea what's going on. It sounded like Marshall Law was being enforced, but nobody cared or understood what was happening. Everyone must be oblivious like me.
