Tuesday Notes - A Waiting Game

3:40pm

The waiting is the hardest part;
Every day you see one more card;
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart;
The waiting is the hardest part.
-- Tom Petty "The Waiting"

Waiting for more than one intraday setup;
Waiting for one intraday breakout to hold;
Waiting for higher ADXs;
Waiting for market emotion (a.k.a. "pace") to return;
Waiting to trade heavier sizes again;
Waiting to "feel" the market again;
Waiting for my pinched nerve to heal (began some PT yesterday);
Waiting for the Bruins to start playing again (that's Boston ... not UCLA);
Waiting to set a FIRM date for the first Boston Bamboo get-together (I'm getting close ... would prefer to have two working arms first though);

Waiting for warmer weather;
Waiting for April to be over.

And so call it another toothpick day with a +$3K chip gain on a teeny 500 contracts that likely has my broker calling 911 to check on me. (For newbies, that's buys and sells.) The net gain -- if we even call it that as it's basically a scratch -- was due largely to the 2:20pm mini-bear trap sequence. And I do mean "Mini"!

And so we continue to wait.

Let's hear it ...

The waiting is the hardest part;
Every day you get one more yard;
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart;
The waiting is the hardest part.
