"<the profits will come from riding the small rallies in individual sectors and subsequently shorting them> It's called swing trading ;-)" Does anyone know what the success rate is for catching swings? I would guess about 60%-80% for a good system. And if one has a bad system (I'm sure there are many more bad systems then good systems)...well then they will see red. And then there is the issue of stop placement... The best systems I have seen that were numerically tested are break-out systems. I doubt one will find success riding small rallies.
