I started trading better once I stopped looking for an explanation for why something should go up or down.

I lightened up on my positions today -- I'm expecting the market to pull back at some point next week. Meanwhile, I'm long NUGT (gold miners) since Monday/Tuesday --- I think that has more to go to the upside.
