Re: [RT] Is this a difficult market......????

[Ira Tunik <irat@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have not found this market to be any more difficult then any other. 
It may not be your system, it might just be the stocks that you follow. 
Sometimes rotation will help.  QQQ, DIA, SPY have all been going right
to the numbers as far as my system is concerned.  The same with some
of the stocks that you listed.  See if the volatility of the stocks
has changed from your 8% month and the last couple of months.  Has
your size changed to offset the change in volatility?  If that is
the reason.  Take some other stocks and see if they would have given
you better results.  There are a lot of reasons for something like
this to happen and some of them could be personal.  Look honestly
and see if your trading style has changed a little.  Are taking all
of the trades that you used to take?  You quite a bit of work before
you if you really want to solve your problem.  If you system was sound
to begin with it should be sound now.  Mine has worked consistently
for many years and through all types of markets and hasn't broken down. 
A fundamentally sound system shouldn't break down.  A system based
upon a specific market direction will break down.  The problem with
bull market traders.   Have a good week end.  Ira.

essentially trade alone from my my house and because of that, tend to be
somewhat isolated at times. I was just wondering ....have the last two
months been exceptionally difficult to trade? I have been using a system
that works very well on stocks. It has consitently generated returns of
8% or better per month. In january, however, this number dropped to about
5%. I guess it is the nature of system trading...but i just want to know
how others are doing......or is it possible that my system is beginning
to decay? I have heard they do that. I have ot watching 7 fairly big stocks...aol,
ge, flex, psft, intc, nok, qqq and amgn. Any
advice...consolation or whatever would help. My primary concern is this
a very errratic difficult market that will settle down....or is my system
that has workked so well beginng to slip..... Thanks Sean
