my pair of short Dec that I'm still convicted on another 13.00 leg down to match the other two legs. Where it will start from is still at question, so I have no other choice but to stay in a defensive spread mode with a pair of long Feb I grabbed at 49.55. So I wait until I see something that tells me to dump the long Feb. I am starting to entertain the thought that I may be hallucinating about the 3rd leg down, so I have to start looking at areas that tell me I have to can Plan A and go with Plan B to dump my short Dec.

I hate having to change Plans in the middle of a well thought out directional trip. Plan B is never as solid or rewarding as Plan A but Plans seldom work to perfection, so it's good to BE PREPARED for the Psych Trade that has a way of forcing itself on us. I am glad that my anxiety ramps up when the train starts getting overloaded. It has saved me a lot of pain and misery, many times. Thanks to you DH, you opened my eyes to the usefulness of spreading a number of years back. That also led me to the joys of fishing. In many ways DH, you played a role in turning me into a responsible trader, with the ability to grow my bank account without continually putting myself in front of the Firing Squad.

Thanks for being a part of the influence that has allowed me to do what I love doing-----trade and help others struggling down this same Quick Sand filled road.
