First, show me where I said I use one account. Second, show me how the net effect would be different on trades held less than a year.B1, you are aware of FIFO, no? If you are using the same account for all trades that is going to change the accounting of gains/losses, and not necessarily in your favor.
First, show me where I said I use one account.
Easy. One is a short time frame trade, the other is a longer time frame trade with bigger stop. I don't need two accounts to play different time frame trades.

Yogi was the best!

I never stated whether I use one account or multiple accounts. I said --I don't need two accounts to trade different time frames--Is that not what you are stating here?

I'm just trying to follow you along, B1. Journal integrity and all that, you know?
Supposedly a true story: Yogi and Mickey were still playing for the Yankees and Yogi had just gotten a new Chevy convertible. They decided to go for a ride to go see a friend in New Jersey. After awhile on the road, Mickey asked "Yogi, we're lost ain't we?" Yogi said, "Naw Mick, we ain't lost" Awhile longer, Mickey said :Admit it Yog, we're lost ain't we?" Yogi said, "yeah Mick, we're lost but we are making good time ain't we?"
