Sorry jerry -- trading hours...

copy and paste problems?

Honestly, I can't say I have any problems. Just tried copy/pasting from notepad, worked fine.

Maybe it's the application your coming from? What are you trying to cut/paste from?

CTRL-C -copy?
CTRL-V - Paste?

Murdered: I seriously considered tossing in the towel today...

None of my signals were aligning right but I started chasing bad ones because I was trying not to 'miss the move'... Then, the chat room I was in said, 'bail' on this one trade -- scared me out. I was short ER2 @ 1:57 this afternoon. Bailed for a 2 tick loss then watched the dang thing dump for 45 minutes. I would have stayed in but I was 0 for 4 on my trades and had a twitchy exit finger...

Agh!

Very frustrating. 3 for 10 today overall...

However, I went and did some exercise came back and ran through every loss. With the exception of the stupid bail-out I did @ 2pm, all the losses were 'boredom' trades.

So, took solace in the fact that: What I know works -- works. Just -don't trade when it's not clear!-. There were a LOT of unclear signals today.

I share in your misery.

Careful

Many technicals were broken in the last few days and probably won't be mended very soon.

heloo smokey

disagree...on what charts? this was nothing more than a pullback off the march 24th lows to the rectn top at 1148-50 spooos

i think we have made another solid bottom for the next leg up...

did real good today...the boold stopped running........

[jerryo]

tasr from my update this am

TASR---97.20 THE BTL---96.00 THE SST...I REALLY LIKE THIS CHART AHEAD OF THE SPLIT DATE ON THE 30TH OF APRIL..THE OPTIONS ARE SO EXPENSIVE YOU COULD BUY IT AND SELL THEM FOR UNREAL PROFITS OR IF YOU WISH TRY JUST 1 CONTRACT FOR MAY...THE 90'S...

Lol Well I get paid for that so I better not say out loud, but needless to say any run up is a run up a steep hill. gg

Hey Jerry --

Yes -- I was looking for the bottom today, too. Though, it bottomed a few ticks lower than I thought! (see my post on QQQ from last night -- if I make enough of these calls -- one will be right! <wink>)

Anyhow, yes -- I agree, we've bottomed and we had a solid bounce on it today. closed that qqq gap and above the 50/100/20.

Now we should blast off tomorrow or Monday -- depending on Options expiration.

Did well on AAPL today / caught the curve of that pullback.

Only caught a little of the index bottom -- I thought things were moving too slow on indexes and was still gunshy from yesterday.

Glad to see you in better spirits!
