About this blog

This blog was started as a whirlwind. So these objectives are laid out on the top as a reminder to me and for you to remind me. These objectives will change accordingly. Do praise or criticize me for keeping to my plan or deviating from it. This is the start of accountability to my plan.

There are Twitter updates, if you are my friend please identify yourself when you add to your follow list.

Long term objectives
1. To be financially independent so that I can free my time in devoting to God and Family.
2. Money is for memories. I want to take my Family to Disneyland in 2014. I want my daughters to remember this for life. I can also take this to my grave.
3. Trading as a vehicle to secure my daughters' future education requirement.
4. Continued learning/evolution of myself and the markets.
5. This is not for fun, it is a means for an end. Be very ruthless!

CL Trade 15 Oct

1221h EST This was last night's trade. Didn't have the guts to step in front of the EIA numbers at 1100h EST. Sold 75.97 as the 50% retrace of 75.99. Embarrassing as it was a wrong plot. I saw 75.97 as the 61.8% retrace. Arrghh! How could I be so careless? Anyway, the entry was a good entry. The extension tells me it should go to 75.44 so I placed my target at 76.47, 1 tick above the 61.8% retrace of that leg. Trailed the stop to 75.83. Then I see it stall at 75.61 which is the 50% retrace. I moved my target to 75.63 to bail out but too late. Stopped me at profit of 13 ticks.

Image says it all. Exceeded the 77.00 mark and on the way to 78.25. Enough for me because I was tired and need to be up early the next day. Having guests over for dinner. Oh how I wish I was still in Toronto time for trading.
