That would be nice. Hopefully resolution of the Election and all the Fiscal Cliff stuff will be bullish for the Market.
Timing is harder and harder the shorter the time frame.... its best not to call tops or bottoms... keep dry enough not to get killed on huge sell offs is what I'm doing... buy break outs with limited risk option strats
Every timeframe is pretty much the same, what matters is the speed of trend changes. Fast timeframes are constantly changing the trend, larger ones are not as volatile, they like to take their time before changing it.
hmm funny i disgaree with like the entire last 2 pages of content on this thread. I have a relatively small account and trade stocks, i call tops and bottoms, and i dont believe in scaling in/out. if you have enough conviction to go in, then whats the point of only going in 1/3rd a position? and then adding when it drops? what if it never drops to where you would add? you will under perform every time. you should trade strategies where the better you get, the more money you make, not the better you get the less money you make. if you get really good and make great entries and it never goes down enough for you to add more then you will be making less getting better oh well, i guess we all have our different styles
those guys are just post writers. when they trade, they are chicks. right is right, wrong is wrong. there is no middle ground. if just a 50k account, all in is the best strategy. there is no sense to do 1/3, I agree. since I climb up from 4k, use this strategy. of course when your account is at 1m/2m, you need diversify. you lost the flexibilty, the strength of a small account, but you gained robustness of your account, that is the strength of big account, you can ride a big advaerary out using time
