>>This is the type of market I don't like and I lose money in...a non-directional market<< Good morning Kevin We are both using trend-following systems of sorts and so when one has a choppy market it can result in whip-saws. Your system is more sensitive than mine--in that it usually triggers signals more quickly. The downside to that is that your system is likely to result in more whip-saws--the upside is that you will usually be in a move well before I am. I guess it is all a question of trade-offs. What I do know is that if one has a good system and follows ALL the trades, it generally works out very well. BTW, I will exit the remaining OEX puts that I am long if we get towards yesterday's low on the SPZ or if I get a buy signal on the futures during the day.
