Quote from Lights:
mostly sector commodity and index ETF's. my biggest trades of the year were on silver (slv). i scored nearly 20% in 2 days on a silver short in September followed by a long and subsequent 15% squeeze. my strategy does well in high intraday volatility as we had from sept to dec. i traded most of the short term lows in the fall, interestingly tho i am usually a bear, i did not trade much on the short side and no trade exceeded 2 days holding period. besides a few trades, i did not have any other crazy outsized profit days, but maintained a 90% up days for 4 months. the long at oct low was also one of the best trades of the year. i don't do well in low vix slow trending markets. 2009 was my worst year ever and i've really been in a 2 year daytrading slump before 2nd half of '11.
