RE: LONG/SHORT on S&P UP/DOWN

DTorSwing · Jul 17, 2015

how well your SHORTS perform when S&P is strong UP trend ?
how well your LONGS perform when S&P is strong DOWN trend ?

I also do close to 50/50 ratio for long/short for now, but I am thinking to change to 70/30 as S&P UP days are much higher than S&P DOWN days. what do others think here

I hear you

not easy to deal with when S&P goes opposite direction from our symbols

As long as your position(s) is(are) small enough to survive the storm, it is manageable. But yes, perhaps more longs would be wiser for the longer term!!
