but how would i know that ahead of time?

 

Don't want to distract you, as I watch only DJ Cash.

 

no distraction. i'm flat, market gone back to stagnant pond mode. besides, i'm always open to learn something new, so if you have a suggestion on how i can reliably know when to stretch my holding time, i'm all ears.

 

I don't know. Perhaps you may consider comparing YM against another index(es) which you consider would have certain correlations. However, it might delay your decisions, besides adding confusions.

Actually you have been trading excellent.

 

Stick to your way. If you start adjusting to others you'll lose confidence. I find I have to adjust my thinking towards long or short quickly.

 

Very good point to consider as well!

 

short YM @ 9487.

 

initial subject to change target is <9460.

 

Long DJ 9480

 

cover order was @ 9466, it touched twice but no fill. since i'd reshort here anyway i'm keeping the position for a second dip.
