Hey Rocky,

I don't want this to get into a "Hollywood you pat my back and I'll pat yours" but it is clear that you DO have a "magic indicator" - it's the space between your ears! You have reached that place where we are all striving to get to - where trading becomes automatic - almost second nature.

I'm really, really pleased for you (especially as your livelihood depend on it) - the next step is to gradually and slowly compound your success which seems to be just around the corner for you.

You have found what works for you - the strategy, the correct mental attitude, the banter with other traders and knowing when you are in the "Zone" (and conversely, knowing when you're not) - not to mention putting your pinny on to do the housework to take your mind off the markets.

Interestingly, I'm your total opposite. Last week was my first week in the "Club" and I had my first losing week since, well I can't remember. I tried before with the same results but thought this time it would be different. I was again sufficiently distracted/influenced to take trades I normally wouldn't take (which were mostly losers) and worse still, didn't take trades I would normally take (which were mostly winners). Note I am in no way blaming Dan, Zak and James - I know who is to blame - the guy in the mirror!

I need solitude, peace and calm when I trade with no distractions or suggestions/beliefs from others (even the missus knows to keep out of my hair). So it just goes to show that what works for one does not always work for others. We have to find what works for us and stick with it.

I hope you continue to post here with your trades and your writings for you are a great inspiration to us all.

There's lovely!
