Lord, I can't even talk about my garden plot......I tilled it once and have not been able to get back in it since.......Seeds, row markers and string at the ready though....

I visit from time to time. I just don't find anything to interest me very much there. Endless stream of EAs of dubious potential... Many of the best minds who were there a yr, or so ago don't seem to be posting very much anymore....

The problem with me is that the older I get the less free time I have because work takes so much longer to do........Our session is a good one for me to do because it's interesting, friendly and productive with very little time involved..........

One of the cronies I met for bkfst yester is also a retired trucker... Somehow the topic of bkfst on the road came up, and it came out that we both had eaten bkfst at a famous Trucker's restaurant just off rt 80 in Pa., about 1/2 the way between NJ, and Ohio. What enormous bkfsts were served there... Sausage biscuits with eggs, grits, etc, and all the coffee you could stand. Enough food for the entire day...

This sounds like one heck of a breakfast.........If I ate that I would need a 2 hour nap after.......And that's not to say that I wouldn't like to........

Yes, If you didn't walk out of the place with belly bulging the owner felt that she hadn't done her job well. The food was great, and abundant... Large pking lot always had 10-15 trucks stationed... Funny, we couldn't remember the name of the place... Just the grub!!

Whip, looking at your charts, IMHO, your TPs look too close. I think setting them at Price Channel H for the period of about 6 mos, or so, is prob better...

Yup, good idea, I've been moving them up little by little but with the small amount of time I spend watching the charts I think thats a smart move.....

Yes, painful to be stopped out when market is moving apace in direction of trade... I have studied taking profits vs allowing trades to run until backing into a trailing stop. Trailing stop distances were calculated based on 50+ trades, as were optimum TP values... It appears that letting trades run until backing into TSL is slightly better, but it can be frustrating to see a couple of hundred pips evaporate into nothing as price retraces to hit TSL...
