I am trying a new idea...It's a trial to Wave 59...It's an OK piece of software with lots of astrological stuff connected to it...Now I wouldnt give anyone a nickel for my horoscope but maybe there is something here...

But after looking, its an extremely steep learning curve, so I will let this one go..maybe there is something to it, but certainly not for me, and clearly not better than what I am working on now.

It was a pretty good book, well worth my time, so I will go back and read it again. I will take some notes next time...Even though the title would tell you about the frame of reference, I did find myself skipping over some of samurai parts...

I would love to build a hot rod computer, but that will have to wait...I want to have it EXCLUSIVELY for trading, no E mail, nothing but charts and trading stuff.

In the mean time, I do find the need to look at more stuff at the same time, so I am splurging-no-investing in a new toy...It's a new 24 inch monitor...very sweet...and it only took me an hour to set up the dual monitor deal-pretty painless overall.

Might sound strange but now I want another 21 inch for the other side...I don't really need it, but I feel out of balance the way it is set up right now.

I tried, but I can't get around it. I have to buy Ninjatrader. The trading dome is the most amazing thing I have ever seen, and even if it wasn't, I need it to trade what is becoming "my system". The automatic order entry, the auto stop and cancels, OCO etc are now a huge part of my research, so Ninja gets a grand pretty soon. Having said all that, I am a little shocked you can buy the damn thing for only $1000...
