If your signals just aren't coming together, better to sit out than to take a weak trade just for the sake of trading.

How often does this happen to you, if ever? What's the longest run of zero-trade days you've seen?

Day trading is a losing expectation game. I recommend not daytrading and then you won't have this situation.

Dont trade when there is nothing to trade....Better to get out and go fishing....and have a few beers

In the long run it will be much cheaper.....
