I guess you can call it bizarre :) to the extent that it's not pure TA based and may seem odd to TA users. But I wouldn't call it fundamental...
OK, just to set the record straight. In what I do, I identify a set of stocks to be held overnight. I buy them pre close and sell next day after...
Since you have no idea of what my strategy is about, I suggest you keep your smirks of critiques to yourself. I take 100% (if not more) exposure...
Give everyone a break you moron! I can list dozens of cases when I could have ended up with a loss if I took it in one trade and made thousands...
What the F#CK was that, loser???
And how exactly is that???? If you have a strategy that predicts where the price will be on average over the next, say ten minutes, just b/c it's...

I've been doing what RS7 suggested in a post about a month ago and it seems to be helping. I try to think of each trade as if it's my parents'...
Who said I ever wanted to???? I'm very happy doing what I'm doing and especially happy knowing that I can do the same thing even as the positions...
