Thanks for the suggestions. I was trading only major indices. Right now, I have no capability to interpret and switch fast enough. Anyway, this is a technical problem not a psychological one. Lucky enough, I didn't loss today but get hammed psychologically.
qdz, This is a workable approach to life. After all, you cannot be certain that there's anything out there: all you see, hear, experience is something inside your mind, or hitting your optical nerve or your ear, etc. The universe may just be inside us. And we may all be the same, single, person, appearing in infinite disguises
Quite honestly I am not new at this, and have had much success doing this prior to this past Spring. I had too many distractions earlier in the year, you name it was happening. And I lost my focus. As a result, took some time off, and now the distractions are behind me, so to answer your question...YES -- CLARITY! Thanks for inquiring.
I have all of these up as well as key stocks within the sectors. The way you state it is basic to trading strategically. Adding the key stocks within the sector is the way to add tactics to the mix...In the absense of an "index" I will often find a stock that will represent the current information about what I try to capture, e.g., SEN for weather related "clues" (as weather moves west to east...) Other obvious ones on my screen: XAU CRY0 (CRB Index) NAJ XI VIX XOI This "technique" is so basic to trading that I would find it hard to trade without. BTW, I think you meant DRG, not DGR. nitro
