So you've given us a hint as to how you pick your longs ... what is the criteria for shorts?

The Shorts are much more technical in nature. There are some fundamentals here as well, but probably more like 70% TA. Basically I look for stocks that are highly priced; that has gone parabolic and that is showing signs of the byers stepping away from the punch bowl. I use an advanced chaos based indicator that I run in TradeStation to filter out the stocks.
 
Thank you. What's odd, is that I've had the exact same reverse luck. I find technicals work much better when going long and my "gut" works a lot better for going short. What's more, I can consistently lose money by going short on technicals on a majority of systems. One was so good in fact, that I reversed it and made money. I may just have to come up with better filtering criteria for the short side, I would think.
