Damn, I hate how slow blogger is! Oh great, now the smoke alarm goes off. BRB.


I'm taking a midday break and just saw that my IB data has been out for the past hour, so I'm on an extended break now. ESPN is airing the House steroids hearing, btw. Bunch of parents and scientists so far, but Bud Selig, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire are coming up.


The chart shows my best trade of the morning, getting 20 ticks on the YM. There was a nice confluence of all my indicators. There was a clean carom of the 9/34. It was a drbob 5034. Stoch was slinging up towards a rising bline. erGODic bottomed, too. I took the trade off the 5034, but also note the Wilder's 14 RSI laid on top of the stochs. It made a nice tiny inverted ghost at the 50 line. I subsequently placed it on top of my CCI section to give it a look-see. Nice inverted ghost there too. The blue line is the 14 CCI and that didn't show crap.

I'm still working on exits, but for this one, I held until it closed under the 9 at 10675. In hindsight, notice the RSI made a tiny ghost in a big ghost pattern at that point. Might've been a nice short if I was bright enough to think that way.


Good lord. Have you ever done this? Fancying myself smarter than the average monkey, I decided to cut a tomato in half while holding it in my hand. I figured I could deftly slice it down the middle and stop the knife half a millimeter away from my skin. I miscalculated and put the blade half a millimeter into my pinkie. OUCH.

Okay, breaktime over.
