never admire another or yourself, the former might lend a weakness for the latter,just a trader ,every method has its ups and downs. The longer you work one, the better it gets ,this method has a lot of room for improvement, regardless of the returns,there are many methods which are less rigid and more adaptive to market conditions. Going forward i will attempt to take small losses earlier into positions and wait for better res areas to re enter rather than holding tight to a side and adjusting,fighting the market til it caves,this journal is about sharing approaches and logic as the market moves and how its applied,any personal comments as to ones p/l reduces the "integrity of the journal",that said ,lost in jan,may and nov,just got stopped out in dec at 44 ,but still up for decQuote from Trader.Fighter:
Ammo,
Considering the massively bull year and your permabear style, would you mind sharing your % ROI for the year ? I would be very interested in your results, because if you survived and made a profit this year, only shorting, you are worthy of admiration.
Quote from trickshot:
If you look at a 20 yr weekly chart of the SPX you see either:
1. a triple top forming
2. a massive bull flag thats going to take SPX well over 2000 if we breakout of it
Place your bets.

Happy and profitable trading to everyone for 2014! I'll be the first to go out on a limb and "predict" that the market will have another up year with targets on the S&P of 2040 doable. Vola should stay low till the end of 1st quarter, then we should see some fireworks with strong moves in either direction. Best of luck to all.
