Robert, My reading indicates that the longer swings you play, the lower your win/loss ration (however, the larger the average trade). Quite a few very short term traders have high win/loss ratios, however the wins tend not to be as big. The slightest move against them and they bail out, often missing the remainder of the swing. Just today, I left over 3 points on the table on a winner because I stopped out. Probably until I get very comfortable trading this market, I will keep extremely tight stops and play the very short term plays. BTW, 16 straight winners is awesome! Particularly with the larger stops he is using. Thanks for your input. Matt
