holding losers overnight is not a problem.For instance when you have T with a 4% div and its at 36$ after a 6 dollar pullback and is a dow stock...it will explode upward 3 points....which is exactly what it did when i held it 2 weeks ago however i was a day early and i had to sell some for a loss because of margin but i made back all lost money and gained 1k....i dont like futures too much whipsaw and premium erosion is nerve racking...sometimes i play out of money oex options when i dont mind losing a few hundred bucks...
 
so far today:

shorted 1000 T @41.60 covered 41 48
buy 1000 yhoo @24.34 sell 24 40
buy 1000 yhoo @24.23 sell 24 43
buy 1000 yhoo @24.42 sell 24 49
 
btw,
yhoo today is a great long in the 24 20-24 42 range

dont know if i would hold overnight maybe small position of 3-500 shares....
