Gwen, GREAT POST AND GREAT ADVICE! Whatever you read or do, keep in mind
that there are thousands of ways to make money, but trading is as much
personal temperment and emotions as any trading system. Find what works for
you. You can come up with a great system, and still be an unsuccessful
trader (like lots of vendors). Your system is fine, but it doesn't fit your
personality. Keep going till the shoe fits, then wear it.
