NW: Here was my trading day. Got up extra early (8:00 AM ET) because
Mars went into Aquarius last night and I expected a change in trend = a
buy for Copper. Entered my order to buy March Copper at 8100 or better.
Market opened lower and I got a fill report of 8025 by 8:25 AM. Then I
went back to sleep. Got up in time for lunch, check the markets, and
check my e-mail. March Copper closed at 8120 so +95 points for the day
and I am still long and well rested.
Relaxedly,
Norman
