I think you are going to do great. I just think trading more often would have netted you more gains. Lets assume that we do have a symmetrical triangle not just on the S&P 500 but on KLIC as well. What that means is that early on in the formation of the triangle you get more volatility.

Now as we await the breakout, or breakdown, for KLIC, the S&P 500 and a bunch of charts volatility has been falling. Look at today's action and even though the market is down a bunch the VIX is not up by much at all.

While all your points are valid, I believe one of the largest weights on the stock markets is the deleveraging of banks and governments. All around the world, money is continuing to come out of equities and is being put into cash and bonds. The more the stock markets decline, the more money leaves. This changes temporarily, only when the stock markets are in a strong rallying cycle. These are traders markets at the moment. Almost all stocks are going up or down simultaneously, with slight variations in which stocks are weaker or stronger on a relative basis. Only the exceptional stocks are showing strength. I think it is wise to expect most stocks to continue long term declines, with the occasional oversold rally. True rebounds are only being seen when underlying fundamentals are simply too strong to ignore. (aka CMG, GOOG, ISRG etc...) jmo TO
