[13:56] <+rickf> out 65.25 +2.25 paper
[13:56] <+szubaark> nice, how u like the platform?
[13:56] <+rickf> it's keeping me much much much more focussed
[13:57] * +rickf started using HA candles too ... less drama that way
[13:57] <GoodMood> HA candles
??
[13:57] <+rickf> i find i'm far more relaxed and willing to let the trade develop
[13:57] <+rickf> heiken ashi
[13:57] <+GoodMood> thx
[13:58] <+rickf> platform is kinda quirky for day trading - not easy to exit a pos w/one click
[13:58] <+szubaark> ok.. Each candle tells a lot the more one learns them
[13:59] <+rickf> but the charting is amazingly good
[13:59] <+szubaark> a lot people focus on candle patterns, which are worthless
[13:59] <+rickf> not me -- i just want to see the trend
[14:00] <+rickf> i'm finding the HA don't jump around nowhere as much as regular candles
[14:00] <+rickf> hence i am more relaxed and not willing to enter a trade on a big candle that came out of nowhere
[14:00] <+rickf> plus i've done like (i think) 5 trades today ... 4 winners, 1 loser. the loser was my only countertrend trade
[14:02] <+szubaark> nice..yea whatever works for you
[14:02] <+rickf> alwys learning, trying to improve
[14:02] <+szubaark> u using same timeframe?
[14:03] <+rickf> pretty much... tho this morning i went 133t early on to 512t now
[14:03] <+rickf> as the action increased, i increased my interval
