I guess it's time

It's always the same...A new idea, dreams of success, the fear of failure, all that shit...

Nervous as hell, but it's time to get the feet wet and go live, even if it's half size stuff...

the fear isn't logical, but its still there...all the books in the world don't change that!!

Wave 59

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.

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.

Ninja

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...
