David: Just a few of my thoughts: >>>>My problem seems to be that the majority of the money to be made is in the first few minutes of trading at the open This is your opportunity. >>>>> Most stocks seem to open up on up market days and then drift downwards for the rest of the session Consider shorting against the first move. >>>>> I hate to think of shorting after the open on an up market day Consider covering your short in the first hour and going long the same stock. >>>> Every time I take a position at the close, the market seems to turn down at the open the following day. Consider not taking on positions at the close. .>>>>I haven't been able to successfully catch mid day moves. I tend to wait for more gain later in the trading session and usually loose. I also don't like to take a loss at the end of the day but I know that this discipline is key to winning. I tend to hold small losses that turn into bigger one Be very selective in calling midday moves. Consider a stop loss strategy to eliminate your indecision when it comes to selling losers.
