Thanks James. I'm not trading for real, just paper trading. What made me long there was watching CNBC it seemed like the market was going to have a big opening and I wanted to get a piece of that ahead of the bell.

Abe.. you just did the unthinkable and let CNBC decide your entry on a trade. If you plan to be a trader, you need to rethink your strategy.

First Rule of Trading

1. Never let anyone decide when or what to buy.

Abe,
Maybe one day you will take our advice here and
TURN THE TV OFF.

James,
So what are you up to lately? I pieced together a few things, but not sure if you clearly explained what you are trading, where, for who, etc. Just curious what you are up to since you were a die hard YM trader and now you are not trading it.

CNBC is not so bad IMO. Especially for a beginner trader, it is very informative and provides information about the events that might be driving the market. I feel I learned a lot just from watching CNBC.
