I had a great time out in Las Vegas!  But I am so glad to be back!  This is the first week of my new schedule here at FXStreet with my Chart Pattern Trading webinar on Tuesdays and my premium webinar on my Forex Market Pulse on Fridays.

Las Vegas was hectic and fun as usual.  I did a four hour presentation on trading covering my Lazy Days Lines and Market Pulse.  Both of which you can learn about each week here at FXStreet.  I saw my good buddie CVJ in Vegas and had a chance to sit and talk with him about trading and the markets and more about what he feels a contributor here at FXSTreet should offer.  As one of the original FXStreet members I take his advice and will be implementing more about those ideas here.  Thanks CVJ!

I also had a chance to hang out with my good buddies at Interbank FX and their new Chief Currency Strategist Rob Booker.  Rob is one of those rare genuine people that I consider lucky to call a friend.  And without spilling the beans, he is working on some things that are really going to blow your mind.  I for one can’t wait to see the kinds of things he’s cooking up out there at IBFX.

By the way, I love the new blog layouts.  Kudos to FXStreet for the redesign!

So what am I going to be doing more of here at my Chartology blog.  Well for one, I want to get more chart pattern set ups here and incorporate my Lazy Days Lines as well.  My goal going into 2009 is to make more objective tools available to traders so that they can make decisions on trading based upon chart levels with less discretion.  You know discretionary trading for new traders in intimidating.  New traders certainly cannot trade with the confidence of experienced, seasoned traders as confidence comes from understanding and confirmation of the tools and set ups.

I also will be spending more time on what I think is the most important concept I teach:  Market Cycles!

So I think that Vegas was a great way for me to kick off this new week, new schedule, and new blog design.
