Yes I mentioned that, seems to be a loose rule. I am also 65 yrs old and have been trading 30+ yrs, so my knowledge is somewhat outdated. I don't mind shorts, I believe it helps volatility and liquidity. Trading is trading and I enjoy it as a hobby retired now. Don't need the money, but does fund toys and vacations back to Canada each year. Thanks for your information. I appreciate it
