a peaceful weekend with a nice deposit to show for our efforts. I was forced off the train as my damage control was hit late in the day @ 77.77. Actually it wasn't damage control, more of a case of Prime Directive weekend orders of "keep what you got". Next week is a new BALL GAME.

I was busy with responsibilities in the corn market all day long, so my lack of focus only allowed me to put my stops in to begin the day and at noon I decided to pull them up close to the bottom of the range so the market could decide if I stayed or got the boot. They didn't waste any time kicking me out the door and I won't waste any mental frustration whether that was right or wrong or what happens next. Fishing rewarded me well this week even though I had to wait longer than I thought for the feeding frenzy. I have the whole weekend to come up with a fishing plan going forward.

This does open up a fresh new fishing hole which always makes the fishing better. With a new fishing hole, it's a level playing field. The bears have been given notice that they don't have the control they thought they had. Their anxiety level is/should be rising. Both sides are guessing at the next move and jumping at shadows which makes the fishing experience much better. This is where I have to keep a bias locked away and just concentrate on my fishing lines.
