The Day After My Birthday
As you know from reading my previous post. We went to the casino on my birthday.
You shall see how I am able to know if Pat had a good gambling trip. You know she gambles.
I don't gamble.
In fairness to her. She is getting really good at her gambling. She is learning how and what is best.
Wait a minute Francis. You said you went to the casino. Isn't that gambling?
No it isn't for me. I know exactly what I will do and how much I will risk. I risk $17.50 on every trip now.
Later. I may step that up to $70 dollars. But not now. I want to be absolutely sure that my
strategy and method of playing gives to me at least a "break even" outcome over time.
I like to plan and know before I plunk down my hard earned cash. Just saying.
Well. What do we have here? On the way back we "had" to stop at the what? Oh no. A mall.
More money spending. Oh well. That is what it is for.
I put a little sideline sign up for you to see. It is shown in the first photo above.
And now what do we have. A shoe store? You have shoes on your feet now. Why are we here.?
Ha
Payless? Oh. I see. That makes it OK. Now I feel a little better. lol
Somehow I don't see the logic here. Maybe I am confused?
Why don't you move on through the mall? It looks nice to me. Who knows what we could find?
Oh, I see. We are here for shoes. I have to get back on track with my thinking.
Shoes, man. Shoes. Don't you know what shoes are? Women shoes.
I guess I am slow to understand. Ha ha
Enough of that. I don't dare tell you how many pairs of shoes. Or what size and kind.
I value my neck. I need it to turn my head to my trading computer. lol
As I raced home. Well. Not really on the racing part. We finally rolled along after other stores we into.
Such as Samsclub. I detect a big cookout coming this weekend. It is cool here now. So that should be nice.
Finally, back to my trading computer. I happily glanced at it after I turned it on.
Sorry bud. Nothing for you this afternoon. Ugh
Wait. Don't you start again after 6:00 pm this evening?
Yes we do. You might find something interesting then. OK?
Bingo. We did find something interesting.
Look for yourself. At the ES Hourly Chart. The left yellow arrows are my two entries.
And the one right one is the exit. Notice the trade was in two hour chart time periods.
I am putting up my trading DOM now. I like to look at the green numbers. Ha
Finally my "Completed Orders" page. You will be able to see the times of the trades.
Military time. At least that is what I call it.
For anyone that may not know. I use the "Daniels Trading Platform" for my trading. There are many others available too.
Oh, I use the CFRN indicators as a guide for my trading decisions. Without them. It would be tough to trade profitably.
Well. That was my day after my birthday. It was a good day too. Even some shoes day. lol
Oh friends. I just had a thought. Today is another day. I wonder if I dare look at my trading computer?
Hmmm
Maybe I will. I would just love to see some bigger "green" numbers on my trading DOM.
The DOM indicates a 24 hour period. It is showing $88.36 dollars now. From late yesterday evening.
I wonder..................................................
I will show the results if I do. I have an itching trading finger. I hope that means green. Ha
Thank you for reading my "day after."
I hope you found something interesting in my post.
We all Steemit together. I will look at and read yours too.
Francis
Shoes. Man. Shoes.
Hahahaha! I have never laughed so hard in my whole life. I could imagine you waiting for Pat on the bench outside Payless. Then continuing on through the mall to the other shoe stores where you realized that you value your neck.
(I'm still laughing.)
@rebeccaryan
I always try to add a little humor to my posts. That is who I am. Laughter is good medicine.
We were over talking to our lady banker friend today. I was getting her interested in Steemit for her family.
She said maybe her son would be interested. He is in his 20's she said.
She was asking me about how I post on Steemit. I had to add some humor of course.
So I said. What I know to do is the hard way. "I have to travel around the world to get to the house across the street."
Oh yes. She laughed. Ha
I hope she gets interested in Steemit. She is a nice lady. Reminds me of you. Very helpful at all times.
Thank you.
Francis
It's best that I do not live near casinos, I have no self control when it comes to gambling and I always donate to the house.
@bluelightbandit
I understand about the casino. It was that way with me for a while.
Until I understood that they were there to take your money.
I had to put together a plan to stop the money flow to them
I have done well in the last few years. Very little of my money have they gotten.
Most likely we are about even over the last 5-7 years. I like that. Ha
Francis
The Mall sounds fun and yes ladies always need shoes. Um and maybe more. Lol
@countrygalk
Yes. She was after shoes. She has many shoes now. Maybe she is happy about that. If that is what it takes.
That is good. Ha
Thank you for your upvote and reply.
Francis
#francisk I think you should consider writing a book someday. you have the talent of making everyday events into interesting reading. I would love to "hire" you, but I can't afford you ha! thank you for sharing.
@rollonk
Thank you for your kind words. It is my occupation and daily thoughts. To write and post something
interesting to our Steemit family.
Francis
Break even sounds good but I like your plan, make money.
@pastorike
One thing I have learned over my living years. It takes time, money, and effort to achieve something worthwhile.
And my trips to the casinos was much like my trading futures experiences. Ugly and costly.
But, today. I can see nothing but clear, blue skies ahead.
Depending on my health for thinking though. If my Creator continues with me for mental capacity.
The remaining years could be OK. Even better than OK. Let's use the word, "great."
Let Him decide that outcome though.
Francis
Francis , I wish You only green.
@madlenfox
Thank you for the "green comment." I see you like green too, by your name logo.
Green in our world is a color much loved by many peoples of the world.
Where I am living at now. When I go outside. I see green everywhere.
Francis
I think we all gamble a little bit maybe not with our money
@cowboyk
Over the years. I have gambled. But I am tired of that now. I want results. Not maybe's.
That is what I have worked on for years.
Have I finally reached a level of confidence in my placed risks. I think so.
But, time could even now prove me wrong. We shall see as time rolls along.

@wise-old-man
If giving is the measure of a man. Your measure just went up. At least for me.
You upvoted me and placed a reply on my blog. Your giving has Steemit helped me.
Thank you.
