on the road again!

i wasn't buying the low volume pop and wanted to get paid. first trade was stopped out. went after it again

what a joke. over a free case!

i wanted to short but the stop on the 1 minute was $1 away


broke a rule. next time i will break my fingers. first piece was at the whole with a stop at .90. i think the second piece around .10. when it dropped back to the whole i freaked and hit out of the whole thing.

this chart is more amazing to me. i used it as my tell to get into APOL and it collapsed way way before APOL ever did.

shorting the inverted hammer. the true stop should have been above the high wick but it was too far away. i added in as it flowed back and forth. stopped out on all of it.



buying the doji late. kept adding to it. at this point, i didn't think they were going to be able to push the market back down. i always get caught in double bottoms and double tops and i was weary of that today.




well, some okay trades today. broke rules, which is never good. i have all the tools i need to succeed. i have prepared myself for the past 5 years to save up enough money to do this full time. i guess i should have been practicing on the mental game that whole time. i need to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity i have. it is right on my finger tips. at this point, it is all mental. i can see the setups i just need to believe they will go further then i think possible.

i will be traveling for the next 3 or 4 weeks visiting family and doing an event at airventure. hope everyone is successful in the mean time. enjoy the summer. i am glad to be escaping the AZ heat. The heat isn't so bad but we have had some humid days, yuck.

for the music, something funny, sort of music related

  1. Heya - sweet position on APOL. Looks like you had direction all the way around.

    Hope the trip goes well - relax, have fun, make some money, come back stronger than ever.

    Oh yeah - I meant to ask for a friend - how can someone get started in that business again? I think you mentioned a weekend gig. Shoot me an email.

  2. BTW - I had to check out that APOL chart against the Q's. Nothing there at all. I suppose it was one of those 'I don't care what the market is going to do' runs.

  3. now, my buddy always says education stocks go opposite the market, so that was also in my mind.

    for the work you can check out agencies under this link http://superbook.eventmarketer.com/ check out craigslist under marketing/pr and search for ambassador, event, local staff. the people with a decent amount of gigs in market is attack marketing and gmr. gmr also has jobs over the road but they don't pay too well.

    i had to do quite a few local gigs, and some things had to line up correctly in order for me to ever make it on the road. luck always helps, but i can steer him the right way if he wants
