Congratulations on this tremendous occasion!<BR/><BR/>I haven't read all your posts but as I understand it, you don't sleep much and get up real early to trade Europe's open. Do you think that your sleeping in and being well rested might account for your superior performance? Just a thought...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-33855043267504858802008-09-19T03:43:00.000-04:002008-09-19T03:43:00.000-04:00Congratulations from Sweden!

(I'm still going through the exercise.) And after thinking I'd have some regret about trading the PM session lightly, I actually have zilch.<BR/><BR/>For my game and strength is largely taking advantage of (fading) unsustainable intraday overreactions. ES climbed 82 points INTRADAY from low to high --- and over 100 points if you include tonight's session -- which just "doesn't happen" 99.999% of the time. Except, this PM it did and likely wiped out many undisciplined short traders' careers who weren't watching the multi-year high in the VIX and/or weren't aware of the triple witching and bailout news that was breaking minute by minute.<BR/><BR/>Normally, I'd be looking to short the PM climb like heck ... and I did lightly on the panic thrusts. But I know holding back in the PM was absolutely the proper thing to do, and won't lose any sleep at all over not maximizing a 0.001% probability scenario. <BR/><BR/>I know the last posted comment was in jest :-) ... but I was seriously wondering the same thing.<BR/><BR/>My only regret is not having sized a bit larger buying the 1:00pm barf of all barfs (I caught some at 1137.75 ... just not "enough" or buying some longer-term stuff at the 1:00pm barf. But long-term just isn't my game, and most long-term players who did well today are still down big on the year.<BR/><BR/>Unreal.<BR/><BR/>DonDon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263493919935087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-48167972319301274912008-09-18T22:13:00.000-04:002008-09-18T22:13:00.000-04:00Wow absolutely awesome performance Don!
