I caught cold from the many swift temperature changes in last week. So I did something I was not able to do until a few months ago - do nothing.

No doubt the initial good luck enboldened me, but the idea has its merit, it is not just luck. My position size averages $2000, a working one gains me $200-$400, a losing one costs me -$200 or so. It is more volatile, minimum 5% a day, and 10% swing is common. With the right sizing, my IRA...

I would close out more long positions, leaving only one open. With the big market in this kind of grinding that has a down tendency, better not to stay long for too long. STT bought 250 at 45.55, stop 44.6, out at close 46 +$80 DQE buy 700 at 15.55, stop 15.3, out at close 15.8, +$120 EIX...

This is such a tough game which often makes me feel bad. Today I closed a $6000 position with $1500 gain in 5 days, not bad, huh ? but left at least $1000 on the table. I kept telling myself - ride it, ride it, ride it, look at the explosive volume, you got to be able ride it even till...
