  So if you have a daily system & indicator is touched mid day, what do you feel makes the most money. 
 Assuming you are getting in and out of a position do you, 
 
 A. Switch in or out before day is up 
 
 B. Get out of trade and wait till end of day 
 
 C. Ride out your loss & switch end of day.

  I wouldn't call myself a genius, but I'll toss in an answer from back here in the peanut gallery.
 
 C. Ride out your loss & switch end of day.
 
 If your system and back-testing is based on close-of-day, then you can't make up new rules on the fly.  You make your trades on the close of the day.  Otherwise, you're no longer playing your system.
 
 Think of a system that's based on weekly charts.  If Tuesday you got a "get out" signal, but your back-testing is based on the close of each Friday, would you get out?  The answer should be no.  You ignore the in-between times and take action on your system's closing period.  
 
 The same applies no matter what time frame you're using.

 Now if markets are up , you might see a rebound
 if markets are red , cut your loss and move on.

  The 2 geniuses have spoken. I figured that’s the best thing to do but when things get really stupid it’s like being submerged under water for 6 hours. This is my flaw, I’ll try to hang on. Thanx guys.
