Releveraging in CAPS

Recs

I'm trying a new strategy in CAPS: releveraging.  I think if I exit a trade after it has gone down and then buy back in I can gain a few points.  That way instead of owning say 1/20 of a share, I own 1/19 of it.

Be careful.  I think your new strategy can work only if the S&P has declined more than your original pick has declined. Otherwise, you'll end up with a negative CAPS score (i.e. it will be a negative "sccuracy pick") on your first pick.  Over time the cumulative negative accuracy picks hurt your overall accuracy percentage.

Wow,

That was an awful idea.  I got on my computer an hour after the market opened and I probably lost around two or three points because of that.  If it's far down I shouldn't care about negative accuracy so I think I need to be more careful.
