Perhaps you and I are thinking of two different things. Trend days are where you can 1-2-3 yourself into the Hamptons. Chop days are where you'll find yourself in the poor house.

I couldn't agree with TRO more. You're gonna have losers. Don't try and decide which ones will work. Just pick your edge, manage your risk and trade your plan.
