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

    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.

    I too am in all
