5/11 2:00

Stopped out at DJI 10,865. Re-entered with stop just beyond the high.  The expanded range is due to the still-high volatility.
I am trying to maintain a longer-term stock position.  This is difficult for me as I like to follow only the short-term I1, but it is an act of discipline.  It serves two purposes:
First, the longer-term trade rules are designed for people who want to follow larger trends and have tolerance for counter-trend rallies that go against their position. 
Second, it enables us collectively to keep a position in extraordinary declines like last Thursday.  By having a longer-term position I can change my focus away from trying to find an entry point in the midst of a crash.  I will already be in.
