I was absolutly rocking till about 6 weeks ago, being up 28% mostly due to Golds and IBM and JPM shorts. I gave back some in the golds before taking profits and I got a premature buy signal on the retest of the CSCO bounce. I got clobered. I am more of a swing trader so these whipsaws are tough on the stops. I got stoped out on Monday of the longs I bought last week, all up but if Id held I would have had a superior week. Have to be disciplined though, no? For my style of trading these big interday moves are tough cause I use tight stops on both longs and shorts. What is the basis of your system.
