Best single day in the market for me since I began serious short-term swing trading 'round six months ago. I've learned a lot in that time; won some, lost some, but the last three weeks have been excruciating -- forcing me to refine my systems considerably. I was buying good stocks/options, but my entry timing was often off, I was missing good sell signals so that winning trades often turned to losing trades, and losing trades were not exited early, when the projected reasons for getting into the trade were not quickly verified. That's all changed, now, and the result has been that my trading the last week has been 100% winning. We're in the sort of choppy market that is the absolute most difficult in which to profit consistently. If you can make good returns in the sort of market we've had the last few months, you'll profit hugely in a clear bull or bear situation. OK, so, the market was up about 1.7%, today. Here's how I did: out of my 11 positions, I'm up in 9 of them (8 of those are options plays). One position is unchanged from Fiday's close, and I'm down one whole penny...
