[14:36] <+jbuch1> that was one of the few trades that I have taken per my rules today
[14:39] <+rickf> that was my ONLY trade taken by the rules today
[14:39] <+rickf> in fact i have 2 setups ... this is the one that is clearer but there are fewer of them
[14:40] <+rickf> i got burned yesterday trying to trade the tape vs my plan
[14:41] <+jbuch1> it only takes a couple of good rules if you can stick to them:)
[14:42] <+rickf> so i learned
[14:44] <+rickf> also sticking to ONE timeframe - if I don't get anything enticing, I'm not going to go hunting to find a trade -- i have a style that works for me, and i'm goinna stick to it
[14:44] <+jbuch1> In some ways simulated is counter productive for me because I end up trading like a monkey with my hair on fire

[14:45] <+rickf> though i did allocate a set amount of reeal money 'tuition' to lose if need be -- because i really feel there is NO substitute for being "live"
