I wanted to take a moment and wish each one of you a great 4th of July holiday weekend.

I’m using this long weekend to recharge my batteries. I’m also taking careful inventory of what has happened in the market since the beginning of June. I’m doing all this to preparae for Monday’s trading session and the trading sessions moving forward. That’s what I’m doing.

I’m interested in how you are spending your long weekend…

In the comments below, please jot down a couple of things you’re doing this weekend. Almost anything goes. Doesn’t have to be directly related to trading, but especially if you are doing something insightful that others of us readers could leverage into our own lives, please share.

However you choose to spend your break, whether you post a comment or not, please enjoy yourself and play it safe.

I’ve got you in my thoughts and, for all the Trading Trainer members who are also my blog readers, I am looking forward to having you be part of our upcoming Monday evening ‘Money Link’ webinar to kick-off our new week of trading. “See” you there!

Again, happy holiday!

Best regards always.

Going through your tutorials is how I am spending my w/e.

Hey Philip,

Me too! I’m going through them to see, when I re-release them in conjunction with our updated member website in August, where I can improve them.

Take some time between tutorials to rest and relax, too.

As far as the tutorials are concerned, i had a request and an idea. There is great stuff in there, but reaching it is complicated, as they are sorted by date. I’m talking about Moneylink webinars. If they were broken down into topics, or at least indicated topics touched upon, it would be easier to find the needed material.

Great suggestion Paulius!

Thank you and stay tuned.

A.J,

How are you doing from your accident, hope your feeling better. This holiday I”m going over my notes on trading and also the tutorials.

Just moved into our new home atop a mountain with fantastic views, located some 40 miles north of Spokane, Washington. Got my new internet address and getting slowly ready to get back into trading. I will be looking for a trading group to get in touch with and need some directions. Gerard

Hey Louis,

Thanks for asking. I’m feeling recovered. Though, the injuries from hitting my head really hard (a funny facial tick, supposedly still a little on the slow side, and a screwy short term memory that keeps alluding me), I can tell, aren’t fully mended yet.

Have a blast reviewing. But also rest and relax. We’ll get back in the game on Monday.

Take care.

Hey Gerard,

Isn’t it a beautiful thing that you can do your trading practice just about anywhere. All you need is a computer, internet connection, and phone. It’s easier now than ever to have the dream lifestyle (which includes trading).

I’m happy you’re almost done with your move. I know it can be hard.

One of the things I’ll be doing during this Monday’s webinar is reviewing the trading group process. In doing so I’ll see if I can put out a “call to action” to motivate people to come together.

Being in a trading group is the number one thing I have seen in working with others, that has the biggest positive effect on one’s trading success. My number one wish is that every options trader was in a four to five person group and saw for themselves the benefit of not trying to be a lone ranger.

Again, good going on the move Gerard. Cheers!

Let’s see:
1) Buy 6 trees and 2 pots of flowers to beautify the homestead (and gratify the better half),
2) We saw a nice fireworks display last night, and
3) Study Ichimoku charting, which seems to have some things going for it. Although it is a trend identifying system, it can also give some shorter term insights, such as showing some support/resistance, and expected turning points, a bit better than traditional western methods.

Happy 4th everyone.

A.J. Brown @ 8:08 pm

Very cool LimaSierra!

Gratifying the better half is a good thing. A real good thing.

Ichimoku charting is a good thing to. It sounds like you are going into depths, however, that I have never touched on. Keep us posted on your studies. If you have any “Ah Ha” moments you’d like to share, please feel free to.

Thanks for your inpit LimaSierra.

Going through the last two weeks webinars. As I was not having internet connection last two weeks. I want to catch up on the webinars and some of the weekly charts of interest.

I am a new member and have not been able to trade till now. Mostly I am only going thru the Study material and trying to catch up on the various topics and follow through scenarios.

I tried to trade a few times but was not able for the follow thru as outlined by you did not happen. I am seeing that the market is swaying too much and am not able to get the confirmation on the follow thrus and hence am not able to get into trades.

I do have to admit that I find your teaching very helpful and it is providing me with lot of education.

Thanks VJ!

Listen, right now especially, you will find yourself staying out of more trades than getting in. That means your follow through rules are working. You only need a few winning trades per month, to gain overall. It’s much better to have a few winning trades, than have a lot of trades with so many winners and losers that your gains are diminished. Or, at least that’s what I found.

Take care VJ!
