you crazy man .............short one minute, long the next what are you up to? haha...just kidding ...
unlucky there mate but with the banks on fire you have to be careful to short
what indicators or strategy are you using to open and close if you don't mind?
my advice to you is use 40 point stop loss on dow jones as research suggests its the optimal stop loss for greatest returns on such a volatile index, its rewarded me abundantly as margin for error has to be miniscule in order to avoid getting stoppped out.
i will keep an eye on your calls dude....keep in touch!!
