" Have to sit on my hands and let the market tell me what's up"
well, you won't loose any money doing that virtual....... its sounds like you have a very patient attitude.....
the price levels are close to the top of my 2 month trading band....... the pattern that's been going on for 6 months now is for is for price levels to oscilate back down again, i'm just waiting for this to happen for my shorts on stocks to make some money....
