food4,
Nothing wrong with sitting it out. I've tried to make a few bucks trading dow mini futures. Big mistake so far. Even when I'm right, i get stopped out right before the big move in my direction. Today, you need a 50 point stop just to see if your move is right.
No, I've scalled back big time, just like GFP. I've been chasing SDS from the 40s. The minute I decide to sit on the sidelines, it turns around and is now bumping 27. It seems that no matter what I do, the market takes my money. They got machines to do it now, and they don't miss.
