I am about ready to loose my mind after already missing the most volatile market action since I began trading full time. So I called HP and they sent me a new hard drive for my trading PC (it’s only 3 months old!). I tried to run the recovery disks, but no go. They sent me a new set of recovery disks to try, no go. So now they’re sending me a box so I can mail back the whole thing so they can figure out what’s wrong with it. So I won’t have access to much of my trading data for at least another 2 weeks.

That being said, I couldn’t take it anymore and dusted off this old laptop of mine and hooked up an extra monitor to is so I could at least pull up some rudimentary charts. I’m currently long the USD/JPY looking for a bounce after the 700 pip crash over the past few days. I’m looking for a target profit of 100-150 pips in the short term. So far it has just kind of gone sideways on me.

I’m working on trying to find a way to take some snapshots of my graphs on my laptop, but its old and I’m affraid of installing and running too much new software lest I crash this computer too!
