Herman,
I share the question.
When Buy at Close/Sell at next day open is +10% and Short at 
close/Cover at next day open is another +10% and at the end you are a 
bit below the first movement, what is the meaning of any MM 
technique ? Is it valid for loosing periods only ? Then, not trading 
at all would be a better advise.
