Please post how many points you've made and how long you were holding for? This has to be current as of today.
I've done well throughout this market decline however today kicked my ass. Everything was off. It wasn't me.....I'm blaming the market!
Don't blame the market dick.. Blame your own lack of change while trading.. Sorry i gotta be harsh but I had a whipsaw like day myself. I was short until I saw bulls push it up at around 600 area.. gosh!
Done and done I don't think I'll change my strategy,,,today was just one of those days. My stops are pretty wide but moves were huge today and I kept on getting stopped out and then having the markets reverse. Was also short around 3pm, couldn't believe that drop and reverse rally that put on there! I'm trading the Nas.
today: Got EXTREMELY long a bit early. Held through some nasty drawdown, but the huge rally got me out for some of the best gains i have experienced in a long time.
