{quote} Hello Lawnman, Well, first of all I am also a kind of craft-man. And I have also chosen to make a shift from the hands job to the mind job with the market. What I have thought about(5 years) is that if you or me ever would think about being among the 5-10 % winners around the table and not the 90 % looser how could we ever be that when we occasionally sit down by the pc in-between wife job kids customers friends sick parents, sick parrots... you name it.

Trade 1 and 2 were taken on the 89T. I saw a 1:1 completion to the downside, back to structure and overall expextation for a NSH. So, I took it. However, whilst trading this up move, I realised that on the swing before (clearest low and high), we just broke to the upside to form a NSH, so would be more likely if price corrects much more. During this up-trade, I paid attention on the high, how price behaved. I saw that price is struggling and exited. I took then short (a bit higher) and traded the micro 1:1, because I was starting to doubt on the...

{quote} Your circumstances and your plan seem to mirror mine exactly, except for the office part (I would be happy to work from the garage).
