Ken, have you tried to do a troubleshooting to establish what has changed: you or market? There are ways to look into it to find out what and how to adjust. This is big topic, but to start somewhere: you compare the setups you played during successful times to what you play now, chart by chart. If you see a difference, it may be you deviating from what you did successfully before. If charts are the same and your entries are the same then it's most likely market change. So you go over what happened after your entry, define better strategy from the chart and try to apply it. I know it's very rough description, but it's a start :) Vad

Ken, You are not alone. I do think that trading is much more difficult now than it was ~2+ years ago. The market volatility has gotten so low that there just aren't as many moves as there used to be. I think Nasdaq volatility has dropped by 75% since the summer of 2002. This is likely just a normal market cycle, but I'm looking forward to seeing it trend back up in the months/years to come. Best of luck, -Eric
