A good observation: buy and hold is perhaps the only strategy
that works well on the markets this year and since the September
breakdown last year. Reversing directions is sometimes confusing,
yet after that holding on is pretty straightforward. I wonder why
it's the case. This is my first bear market to watch.
junkmaylbox- agian it depends on your time frame. If you are a
short term trader and short term swing trader, then no buy and hold
will not serve your objectives. One of my trader friends
sometimes makes $100K or mor a day trading TF futures, obviously a
buy and hold would not interest him. Now If you work a job
and can't follow the market; well then just play the intermediate
trends. It depends on you and your time frame and trading
style.

I concur. With a full-time job, doing day trading is virtually impossible :( So intermediate and long-term swing trading are the options left.
