    So, you were cheering for the market to crash, What do you do now?

    I see your point. Although you would have been out and in earlier 2008 and 2009 Most don't have the buy/sell restrictions or the commission concerns. Still a better method than buy and hold.

    So, you were cheering for the market to crash, What do you do now?

    I'm a disciple of both Weinstein and Darvas and consider myself a long term swing trader. The easiest way to describe my strategy is that I don't hold any losing stocks in my portfolio. That being said I do have stocks I have held since 2009. The old winners run and cut losers short thing.

    So, you were cheering for the market to crash, What do you do now?

    Why the 40 MA. With a little curve fitting 5ma crossing the 20ma would have worked fine. Personally I use the 30 week ma and get out if the price makes a swing low below the 30 then trades below that swing low. I get the odd whipsaw but protecting capital is priority number one.

    Firing Back at Trump in the Trade War with Tariffs Aimed at His Base

    Tariffs are put in place to protect business. What never seems to be mentioned is that the consumer has to pay more for the products. Trade war with China. Short Walmart.

    sandp500trader Challenge: Stock Trades.

    I think I'll drop it. Over time this system makes money, at least over the last 10yrs it has. Win rate is 35% which yields a return of 20%. It doesn't win every month. I've had drawdowns of 10%. The point if there is a point is that it is not the system but having the trust in the system and...

    What index should one use as a benchmark (if any)?

    I look at Risk. Does my strategy out perform in a down market. I compare my performance to a buy and hold strategy. I don't mind if the market outperforms when it is moving up but I want to protect my capital in a down market.
