Still alive...
It's been a LONG time since I logged in here, and longer since I posted last. I'm still around and still following the markets. I'm basically checking in here so blogger doesn't deactivate me for lack of posting. I'm not sure if that's something they do, but I'm not taking a chance.

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.
