Hi Shaun

Thanks for your comments

I do short sell.

I suppose I find bear-market rallies frustrating because they’re dangerous to short during.

But I also don’t want to go long. So I’m doing nothing.

What I should be doing during bear rallies is spending more time preparing for the market to resume its bear trend.

It is great that you are being patient during this time. If you need to sit it out you should. I have 2 suggestions for you.

1. Paper trade during bull rallies. See how you do with your current system before putting real money into the markets.

2. Maybe try to short or buy puts. I find I like bears markets better then bulls markets because you can make money faster. When stocks move down they fall fast.
