Popping in to say hello

It has been about half a year since my last post, and many months since my last look around backstage here at bluecollartrader.  Time flies, eh?
I found a few comments and published them a short time ago, as well as answering the two people who left the notes to me.  Thanks for stopping by.  I hope my answers were somewhat helpful.

I am still studying and practicing in the markets every day.  For four months, I was working a full time job at night so I could spend days at the computer, but that seasonal position has ended.  It was very tiring but I am still committed to make trading our sole means of support.  For now, I am back to 100% focus on the markets.
My chart reading skills are sharp now, but I still struggle with the mental aspects of trading.   As my edge is refined, the improved feel for momentum together with confidence / certainty help significantly with the mental struggles.  Really... there is nothing that builds confidence like an edge that actually works.

I will do my best to post more, but I cannot promise anything right now.  Best of luck to all.
