Long time no see, everyone! I see some of the old gang is still hanging in there. Where's sailor, spots, steve, RCVJr, Tony D., etc? Guess they're been taking a breather from this market like I've been. Am mostly long term now with some Beat the Dow stocks and some relative strength plays. Am ccing by paper trades, trying to get the system down better. Best of all, I'm avoiding the margin bug (mostly). Good luck to all, hope everyone is faring better than I have been. Just about lost my pants with my shirt! Vol P.S. Tread lightly with that margin, fellas.

DW, Like your candles - strong work! Definately would have saved our rumps back in Oct/Nov. Question is - if your sensitivity is too high it looks like you buy as soon as the stock goes up and sell as soon as it goes down, no? This is also know as the "buy high, sell low" strategy previously made known to us by the infamous sailor. (My captain, where are you?) hehehe. Seriously, though, how do you avoid getting whipsawed back and forth, and just catch the real trends? Vol
