Hi Chip,I'll just keep trading my method until it hits my pain threshold (max. historic drawdown). It does put me long at the open but only about 25%/30% of the time. All that matters is how much did it make at the end of the month. When I get a little older I suppose I'll be saying "all that matters is how much did it make at the end of the year" For my scalp plays (95%short) they are all triggered buy stochastical divergences, bollinger piercings and candlesticks and seem to work in all types of markets I think my brokers overnite margin on the the DJU9 is $5000 I need $1200 margin to daytrade the mini and $5000 for overnite.
