not to worry a loss within my system is just like any other, part of normal trading, I am moving to an overnight system with limit down account on IG for the overnight trades, when you get it right it is the easiest money in the market. last night I stayed short and the market surprised no big deal.

so ...keeping overnight positions a very very bad idea.....sure you are glad you got out o those shorts....still dont know what you mean about throwing extra contracts at it....I have the feeling you were trying to prove the market wrong?

nah! if a set up for a gap had presented I would have traded an extra contract, so as to profit from the gap as apossed to breaking even from the gap trade as it is I simply went long and am back in profit, path of least resistance and all that.

that would still have been making a bad idea a worse idea...the worst would have been if you actually made money from it...I dont get the IG index idea...sounds a bit desperate...smacks of the losing out syndrome...one of the biggest reasons for losing trades...enetering cause you feel you losing out...unless this is part of a genuine swing startegy and you are prepared to put the correct generous stop losses in place to allow these swings to work you are throwing money away...

Chartist I simply follow the alsi so If I am short @the close 7/10 the market gets it right and we head lower, I exit in the am with a greater profit and then look to trade the gap in the morning if like last night the market gets it wrong then a larger than 200 point gap would see me traded out for a loss( smaller profit) with the maximum down side of 200 points. Quite honestly it seems to good to be true but they assure me that this is indeed the case. under normal market conditions it takes me 250 points to reverse a trade so this is in line with my normal stratergy.

John if you think the max downside risk is 200 pts you got another thing coming....your method just does not make sense...risk reward is screwed no matter which way you look at it....you talk about gambling...this is gambling without even knowing the odds....I have better things to do in the evening than worry about how the market is going to open....
