I have checked my signals in thinkorswim every morning diligently at 10:00am. That's my job. I have not found a single trade that fit my rules to take bullish since September 17th! My two that I took on that date were AKAM and THO. AKAM and THO both pulled a 3:1 on 75% of my positions, AKAM's remainder I closed when it got below a key level, THO continues to run.
Every day that I do not find an opportunity comes with a little bit of trepidation. "Is thinkorswim's scanner code broken this morning?" "Has the strategy lost some edge?" OR... "Is my strategy just performing as intended and keeping my trades long and short in sync with the market?" I like to believe the latter and based on the timing of the two longs I did take it did help me capture this last bullish run up to resistance on the SPY and market as a whole.
So I wait... and reserve my capital for OPPORTUNITY and FOLLOW MY RULES!
