I don't really care which way the market moves. As long as there's movement I scalp with size. In and out. Done for the day. No overnight risk. No options. No futures. I used to trade futures and options with HUGE P&L swings. Now I just scalp equities with nice smooth upward sloping equity curve. Then go on with my life and do other stuff.
During Feb and March when the Dow was tanking multiple thousand points a day, I still made money going LONG.
March was the max for me but I also have long positions I’m not worry for my long as far as I’m making day trading
