<< Jim - For what it's worth, I believe that creative writing is a good
background for a trader.  Anything that requires constant thinking and
analysis is very benificial to developing a trading style.  Those individuals
that have been out of school for years, haven't read a book in years, don't
have chanlenging jobs or hobbies, don't make it as traders.

Norm,
Thanks for you response.  Now that I think of it, there is one aspect of my
work that does seem to carry into trading very well:  and that is being humble
and letting the story I'm writing (the trade/indicators) tell me what it wants
to be.  Who am I to tell the story (the trade) what it needs to be.  I am
serving the story and if I do, it will reward me.  But I will fail if I try to
impose my preconceived ideas on it.  I think that aspect of my work has
carried over well into trading.

Jim
