Yes, I have stated before trading S&P's seems purer than stocks. It does remove one of my biggest obstacles that I had with stocks....the inability to sell because I just knew it was going higher. With this short term trading that is not a luxury. You are either right or wrong. Period. And you usually know within a few moments of entry. I am beginning to think I need to lessen my exposure to the market. By that I mean that almost every trade I enter is .50 to 1.00 profitable within the first five minutes. Maybe I should just take it and be happy. Do that four times a day and you have a good day. It is when I hold hoping for more that I end up flat or down. Maybe my total market exposure time will be reduced to twenty to thirty minutes a day on four trades. Interesting thought anyway. -Scott
