After going long from 76k to 93k, and short from 97 to 107, I lost 4 trades, totaling a loss of 5000 points. I sold all spot positions before the surge. Trading in May hasn't been very smooth. I made two short trades between 105-106, both were good positions but I didn't close them and ended up losing.

In this market, one cannot be complacent; it's important to remain vigilant. Even if trading ultra-short-term, I've still made over ten thousand points in profit.

Now I've given up on the expectation of capturing tens of thousands of points in the swing; I'll trade whatever I see. Of course, I definitely won't mindlessly chase longs here. For larger swings, I'll wait for confirmation before participating. A few thousand points of confirmation space doesn't make a difference.
