Why the short leash on your trades all of a sudden? You usually put a 40 point stop or so? I sense fear and indecision on your entries. The eratic market moves are messing with your decision making process it seems.
Could you please back up your statement with imperical evidence to support what you said "This is your only true edge in trading". You're actually insulting other traders intelligence here. However, you're entitled to your opinion I suppose..
