    Just saw an entry in the weekly success ratio that really belonged to today’s trading…scratch that 2.47/.50 number; it should be 19.64/1.16 or 16 to 1
    Have a great weekend folks. I know some who follow me do not have the ability to trade in and out so quickly due to account restraints and margin [...]

    Light trading, but I think I did okay =) I’m been watching BIDU for days, as those who follow my tweets will know. Today, the watching paid off. Here is the brief video on the BIDU trade today

    Intelligence officers hold positions that are branded as cognitively demanding and high risk. If that isn’t trading, I’m not sure what is. As ‘cognitive demand’ is a dense subject, I’ll address it in pieces: beginning with – keen powers of observation.
    Most of us believe we are observant, but we really aren’t.

    …Amazing that lots still looks so bullish, even though many stocks are at resistance, or other relevant Fib levels. In this environment, I have to work against a personality trait I have that negatively affects performance in markets like these.

    If you had a tough day trading, read it again. Then let it sink in.

    As always, you can refer to my live tweets to validate the trades as I tweet usually immediately before or after the entry.

    But on to business. It happens that, once in a while, I get tired trading. [...]
