What do you do on gap downs? What percenage rebound? I like point #6, I totally agree. At 1 point I was making 20% good trades, but losses were so small that I was usually up for the day..

Have you been peekin in my windows?? I agree with your post from top to bottom. I recently went and checked over the last 2 months to see my win percentage. It is about 50%, although in the same period my equity is up by over 175%. I found that I also tend to buy more at the end of the day and sell more in the morning. Also ~75% (value wise) are short sells.

my only question is, as a position trader, does it have to be done in, multiple positions, can the same position, feel good after many hours, do you have to change positions, occasionally, how many hours can you maintain the same position, wouldn't your back hurt, i have a stiff neck, thinking about it, what does a *daytrader,* do at night, do they sleep, do they keep trading, do they trade in the dark, how do they track their night trades, do they keep their night trades, seperate from their day trades, do they trade options at night, does the time premium on the night options, evaportate faster, is it lucrative to sell night options, do they sell night options on the pacifier exchange, do the night leap options give you the same bang for the buck, do the guys actually stand in the friggin pit at night,
