    Always the same theater: a couple of Republicans pretending to have principles knowing the count (and that next week their constituents will have forgotten their vote because the bill passed anyway).

  9. it's actually not.

    I'm just explioting the one way market. It's easy to look clever and hard to get it wrong in this environment, UNTIL it changes, which could happen today for all I know.

    But i've ended up in good profit overall the last few times i've recognised an insane bull move (what i call 'mad mode') even despite the inevitable 'long at the high tick' move where I give back a chunk

    But this time, as in previous times, lets say i've made 5000 points profit or so on the ym with my btd strat. When we get a big crash i'll cover it all for a big loss but it will only be a percentage of that 5000 points. I never just let the move take back all of my gains!

    ALso, to be clear this 'style' of trading is all done on my spreadbet account. More swing/set and forget. I'm just a piker with a day job after all and this trading stuff is just a hobby for me

    On my futures account (daytrading), I trade much more typical with fairly tight stops and rarely add to losers.
