Taking Your Child on a Trip

When you have a baby, there always seems to be a long checklist to check off. Everything needs to be packed or not only can baby have a rough trip, but so can the parents. It's a good idea to make a list a few days before you leave. If you have a child who is in school, be sure you get all of his schoolwork that he will be missing while away. No matter where you are going or how long you will be gone for, you should always be prepared. Listed below are some tips to remember when taking a trip with baby.
<br>
<br>· Bring plenty of blankets if baby will be sleeping in the car. This is especially true for longer trips on the road. This will ensure baby stays comfortable.
<br>
<br>· Snacks and food – Be sure that you remember baby's favorite snack food. You need to also pack plenty of fluids for baby to stay hydrated on the trip.
<br>
<br>· Booster seats and Car seats – Children under seven are required to be in proper seating when in a car. If not, a cop will issue a ticket.
<br>
<br>· With any trip, stops are always made and this is important with a child or baby with you. You can get out and stretch and change baby if needed. You should always bring extra clothes in case of accidents or weather changes.
<br>
<br>· First – aid kits are a necessity as well. None of us like to think of something happening, but things o happen and you need to be prepared. You should also carry phone numbers in case of flat tires or if your car breaks down.
<br>
<br>· Toys – Children of all ages have that one toy that is their favorite. Make sure you pack it for the trip. Let your child pick the toy if possible so they can be entertained for the trip.
<br>
<br>· When going on a trip, it is often times known for people to need directions. Having a set of numbers handy is good because you may need to call and ask for directions or in case there are unexpected dilemmas.
<br>
<br>· If you are driving on a sunny day, you should have window protectors to place on the child's window to keep sun and heat out.
<br>
<br>· If your child is old enough, books are a great activity to do with your child while you are on breaks or when you arrive to your destination.
<br>
<br>· Music – If you baby likes music, bring along some music that baby likes and have sing – a – longs on your trip.
<br>
<br>Once the list is checked off, always double check to make sure you have everything. It would be a shame to forget anything for baby.
<br>
<br>Being prepared for trips with baby can make the trip all the more enjoyable. It's always a great idea to be organized and ready to go. When traveling alone, make sure that everything is within your reach for easy access. If there is a second set of hands there, this can be a huge help if you are driving.
<br>
<br>Once everything is packed for baby, you are ready to go. One last thing that you need to do is to eat a well balanced meal before you head out. Try not to overeat as this can make you a bit tired at the wheel. Having more than one driver is always good. Most of all, have a great trip!

How to Limit your Trading Time with Some Lifestyle Tricks

<p class="articletext">I have traveled around the USA teaching thousands of students how to trade with a lifestyle and one of the tricks I use are 3 x 5 cards. I have watched students respond with such excitement that they actually have confidence again and feel in control of their trades. The cards fit in a pocket, wallet or purse and are easy to access. My problem, let's say I am rushing to catch a plane and I can't log onto my computer, is that if my alarm goes off and I don't have my brain in writing in front of me on a 3 x 5 card...then my real brain freezes and I do nothing. This NOTHING is usually a bad decision. The 3 x 5 cards have literally changed and enhanced not only my trading big time, but also hundreds of students now use this success method for time freedom and making better decisions.<br />
<br />

I love using my ETA software to keep track of my practice portfolio and my real portfolios. I would be lost without it. This program makes practice trading so easy, practically forces you through closing the trade. A lot of inexperienced traders don't practice trade, because they do not see the value of it. I still practice trade everyday. The reason being, is that you can't trade everything you want all the time. So I practice what I want to trade and then when I come out of a deal and have cash to trade again I know exactly what I want to do because I know the heartbeat of the deal. In addition, as a retired accountant, I use to charge my clients $15 for the form trades get reported on to the IRS and then $5 per trade. That can amount to thousands of dollars a year for tax return fees if you are an active trader ...so the ETA software does the work for you and you can print out the schedule at the end of the year and attach it to your tax return as schedule 1 and save a ton of tax preparation fees.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to using 3 x 5 cards to use as a back up for trading, these cards allow me to go on about my day doing anything I want. I can run to the store, go to my kids school, workout or just have fun not thinking about the market. That is what I mean when I say LIFESTYLE TRADING. Nothing could be worse than watching the market so close you have another job! Most students I have taught want their life back, not one more intense time stealer. So with these cards you get to EAT YOUR CAKE AND HAVE IT! Yes, I said it correct, anyone can have a cake and eat. You get to profit in the market on very limited time.<br />
<br />
What I do is I take the blank side of a 3 x 5 card and:<br />
<br /> 1. Write on the top 1/4 of it the details of the trade and underline it<br /> 2. On the next 1/4 I write the reason for the trade and underline that<br /> 3. Then I divide the bottom of the card in two with a vertical line and On the left side I draw support and resistance lines with $ amounts<br /> 4. On the right side I put the cost of my option (or stock) in the middle left and circle it. Then I draw a line up and a line down.<br /> 5. If I expect the stock to go down to make money (buy put, sell call, etc...) I will use the up arrow for the stock price I need to exit at a cost (pull the plug) and also a price of the option where I don't want to risk any more.<br /> 6. If I expect the stock to go up to make money I write this information on the down arrow - trying to make the direction of the arrows flow with the trade.<br /> 7. Then I go to the remaining arrow and write the stock price my goal is and the price of my option goal<br /> 8. At this point I then go to my REAL TIME MARKET (see below for info) and set the alarms on all of these so that it comes to my cell phone and my computer. <br />
<br />
At this point, get on with more important things in your life and let the trade rest of the trade come to you! It is such an incredible freeing up of time, and we all need that.<br />
<br />
I have edited in my three cards from the trades I did today so you can see exactly what I mean with my real trades.<br />
<br />
On the back of the card I keep notes, perhaps if you are in the trade a few days you could log how the option price is going at $X stock price or what was going on in the market.<br />
<br />
If an alarm goes off, my first step is to ask question before I make a move:<br />
<br /> 1. What is the market the stock follows doing?<br /> 2. What is the stock doing?<br />
<br />
If you expect the stock to go down, you bought puts, and your upper alarm goes off that the trade is going wrong, I will not pull the plug if it is just kissing the resistance goodbye, so I will reset the alarms.<br />
<br />
However, if good news comes out, and the market and stock are raging upwards on high volume the party is over and I jump out immediately.<br />
<br />
I hope you try this out, because it WORKS! <br />
