woodfish, there is nothing wrong with not trading a move. Days like this past Friday are commonly hailed as "Great Opportunity" but that's just an eupheumism for "Very Dangerous" These days are quite uncommon and have a tendency to break the systems we use to trade. If you were fortunate enough to get short at any time of the day then fine: you rode the move until the end of the day. But if not: nothing wrong with it. There's always another wave coming. You still have your working capital and the water is fine. (Just be double careful today as "Great Opportunity" days come in packs...) Good luck, H.
