Thanks Matt. To be clear, I had a great period the last few
months of the year. But as has happened in the past, I failed to
cash in enough chips at the top and didn't adjust as the market
changed. So yeah, I've given a lot back and that's what I need to
avoid. And you are right - I try to manage too many stocks, which
works in bullish times as there is constant rotation and recovery;
but not so great when the trend changes. I plan to hit reset and
refine my strategy once this long awaited bounce finally happens
and the systems exit ( I have added index exposure on every new
signal). And maybe MU can give me a bailout next week.

Hang in there mastermind. I feel ya. Every time I
think I've adjusted, I learn that I haven't adjusted enough.
I rarely do discretionary trades anymore. Even in this
down trend I've stuck to system trades and to the same position
sizes that I have for the past 2 years knowing these things don't
hold for longer than 2 weeks generally. Guess what, this time
I was wrong. Like you, I am in all the systems just waiting
for the bounce while my options decay. So after the systems
exit I need to update my strategy. Unsure what the learning
is this time around.
Thanks Matt. To be clear,
If this rally materializes, give me some credit for finally ...
