For me, it will always be about trading market participant emotion, even if just on a 1 or 5 minute chart.<br /><br />And so long as we have humans (and machines programmed by humans) trading, that should never, ever change :-). Been that way since someone made that first trade.<br /><br />Stay well.<br /><br />DonDon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263493919935087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-88884895220511275222009-06-06T02:31:36.601-04:002009-06-06T02:31:36.601-04:00Hi Robert -

I just...Hi Don, haven't stopped in for a while. I just posted an article I wrote regarding the markets evolution, a game with some newly added rules. I was really intrigued by some of your comments within your own post which heavily reflect the changes I have seen within the market. Take a peek at the article if you get a chance. I know it will mean alot more to you, with your knowledge base, than it will to 95% of the people that read it. The markets are going to make things a little more difficult for most traditional types of traders. Good luck (skill, for a better term) to you and all. If you like the article, feel free to post the link, I do believe you know the web address. Enjoy your weekend, I know my lack of patience for Mondays arrival will make my families weekend a wee less enjoyable!George "Winace" Swansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992409680764946766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-13633942021337455132009-06-05T22:38:06.461-04:002009-06-05T22:38:06.461-04:00Great blog.

'08...<br /><br />almost seems outside the realm of possibility for it to happen to you(not meaning that I doubt that it happened). <br /><br />Were you in any sort of slump then, or did it come out of nowhere?<br /><br />I'm thinking you were probably throwin' around size during that period, but were you trading on tilt that day?<br /><br />I'm curious 'cause I know what you mean by the power of a downward spiral and how it has to be squashed pronto. I've had a few blowup days like that where I felt like I reached tilt myself.<br /><br />BTW, my biggest one also came in oct., but then in nov. I killed it...ahh, the Comeback Mindset in action.<br /><br />charleS<br /><br />PS- Hay Farmer, appreciate the sentiment...the comments section is solid stuff.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513648506121186831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-35882256493534854692009-06-05T18:44:52.938-04:002009-06-05T18:44:52.938-04:00May we call your wife the day before the cookout t...May we call your wife the day before the cookout to find out if you are going to be "particuarly pleasant" or not?<br /><br />LOL (joke)<br /><br />Nice adjustments made last week Don, pullbacks are part of life.<br /><br />I even been seen in a few sand traps now and then...<br /><br />Speaking of traps, good one today at the new yearly high pre-market.<br /><br />Good weekend to all.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463951546301302868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-35304122922715406812009-06-05T18:01:44.285-04:002009-06-05T18:01:44.285-04:00Well done!

I've only been trading a year and have been mostly down but 3 months ago I almost had it all back, I was on fire, thought I had it figured out. Then I had a train wreck and gave it all and more back. I contribute the change in my "attack" on the market partly from reading your blog. It has helped me to see some things from a different perspective. I realized I have to go about my trading like I have gone about anything else I've been successful at in life- with passion. I'm all done with my "just tryin" attitude, now I'm just doin, it's all business; just like when I was makin my $ back before the train wreck. I know its just one day (I will live in reality), but there is a little voice inside that says "it will be done", I have herd it before.
