Another newbie. I have rarely posted, but I regularly read the thread and I greatly appreciate the collective efforts of all its contributors and especially Freehold for facilitating it all.

I have been trading this end of the market for almost three years now. I have submitted a handful of entries into the STT comp in the past. I was successful with a few, but a number of them didn't run within the one month time frame; although some went on to turn a good profit.

I work full time as a teacher, which means I am at the mercy of my conditional buy and sell orders most days. Although during the school holidays I often watch the market and it proves more lucrative then teaching. That said I do enjoy teaching and I wouldn't consider trading full time until I have traded through a serious bear market.

I am still not as strategic as I would like to be in my approach, but my efforts are profitable and I am comfortable with my level of risk.

Peace
