Stock Market Warning: HFT running out of juice!

Re: Stock Market Warning: HFT running out of juice!

I have only myself to blame....I shorted the qqqq's fairly large several weeks (and a 10% appreciation) ago. ICM69 seemed so sure of a Sept 15 sell-off.... I think it shows that one can have the macro-economics right, be on the side of anti-corruption "rightiousness".....but still be on the wrong side of a trade.
Should I cut my losses? I'd rather be rich than rightious if you know what I mean.

After making my share of mistakes over the last 7 years, my camp is firmly placed in never lose money first and foremost. It's much harder to make up the same percentage loss than lose an equivalent gain. I am also much more of a set it and forget it, low trade investor (which has been working great over the years!) Everyone gets comfortable with a different approach, you just need to find yours. Just don't make many, if any, large trades as a percentage of your worth that are volatile, especially if you are learning.
