that's what makes trading not tough, what helps is experience and of course having your plan laid out vs willy nilly going about it every day reacting emotionally to it.  If you are playing the short term setups, it should not matter what the market is doing here.  If you are trying to hold market ETF's for major moves, then your plan would be different.  Lots of ways to skin this cat, Steve's tutorial method gave a nice long trigger basically one day off the lows and would have kept you in long almost the whole way up.  Could you have hedged sure, could you not have, sure, either way is fine.  That wave B thing, was a viable option near the lows, and a good way up.  I know guys who also hold something based on the BPT MA Deluxe as well

here's a link to the 2 recorded tutorials we have, I suggest taking the weekend and watching these, watch several times. One of them is 5 1/2 hrs long, so you will need to dedicate the time!  Also I suggest marking up charts in real time while you watch it.  Also you will need a big monitor.  Again don't beat yourself up if you were short a few things near resistance, some areas were fine to take a shot at.  The markets generally don't move like this either, take a deep breath, get a plan, watch those tutorials, and get a game plan going forward
