Peil: I have a couple of thoughts that might help you. First, how about trying a method that is currently working well and should continue in the future. Look at the Emini Divergence Method by nopmplease. OR Perhaps the Hershey thread by Spydertrader. In each case, the method is fully disclosed and you could learn it within a short time. In each case, IF you were to apply good discipline and risk management you would have a better than average chance of making it work for you. Think about it. It would require you to do what you have not done before, but you would have the satisfaction of saying you turned it around on your own. I have used both methods (and still do ) with good success. Let me know if I can help you in any way. If not, well I wish you all the best. Steve
