When I checked the market this morning to scout potential fishing waters, the market had already traded my setup before I had time to gather my fishing gear. When your an addicted night owl, there's a problem with early rising, especially with the need for 6 hours off beauty sleep. Over the years I've realized whether I get 6 or the norm 8 hours sleep it has no effect on my beauty which will always remain average at best. However my mind needs 6 hours no more no less to function at peak performance for 12 before it starts doggin. When I fall below 6 hours of snooze the slacker effect sets in quickly. My wife tells me only 6 hours sleep causes sleep deprivation, which is why I fall asleep if I sit down for 15 min in the evening watching TV. She should know cause she's a nurse. I've found a remedy that doesn't require sleep, I stand a lot rather than sit down to watch TV. If it's a Husker game on TV I don't fall asleep but I don't spend much time sitting anyway. It's just to nerve racking to sit during a Husker game.

I must have gotten a full 6 hours because my mind was sharp with no hesitation with a sell order of 95.35 at the open expecting the 60 min 9 bar moving av to send it down again to test my Time & Price support line at 94.45. The first 60 min close was screaming buy for a trip back up to the 9 bar. As always each entry was protected with a mechanical 50 cent stop in case the setup I was looking at was one of those sleep deprivation induced HALLUCINATIONS I frequently have. It looks like I should have let it run but since my prime directive is to make deposits and avoid large losses, I was thrilled with the luck that I was blessed with for the day. I would much rather throw out my fishing lines to keep the anxiety meter stable. The fishing line setup was there for the last surge but my fishing rule book says to abstain from last 60 minute activity. The waters are full of sucker fish in that time frame.
