  2. wait for the current trend to match the overriding trend and get short!

    Unless the current trend reverses the overriding trend

    We just never know (ain't trading a hoot)



    So..., when finding out (or every trade for that matter) - need to identify low risk entry/ entries

    (wait for it..., wait for it)


    You're on the right track EM - extrapolate it out a bit further

    Of course, how many times have you stayed in a winning trade just because it was in profit, and then went into loss, so, you wait fir it to come back to where it was in profit to get out..talk about stulidity..and..sometimes it will drop a bit more..so..now u get worried and exit..just to see it bounce a short while after!

    Get the hell out and lock in profit..it only costs a measely few dollars to get back in..why take the chance!

    My biggest losers have been when I did not take my profit and get out, and, the reason why I didn't get out, was because I was not paying attention, for whatever reason!

    A fool and his money are easily parted, even more so trading, as you just need to be a fool for a few seconds!

    And, we must not forget we have the trend within a trend..so..some are jumping off when others are jumping on..if one gets caught in the middle..look out..for..u do not want to jump on the big boys train if the hft gang are exiting at this stop..for..u might just get knocked onto the rails and get a nice little burn!

    Sidetrack a little, as it might help!

    When we die do we float up to the sky and spend eternity being happy, or fall down into the fire with eternal pain!

    Or, do we rot into the earth and emerge as someone or something else at a future date!

    To be honest, as I have no evidence to support either theory, then I can only come to the conclusion they are not real, for nothing is real without hard facts to prove it so.

    So. why do the majority of people think these theories are real with no hard evidence to prove same - again, there IS an answer, as one thing is certain in life, and that is, everything happens for a reason - there is no such thing as chance - it is just not possible!

    What therefore, is the reaon that the majority will accept information as being "true", without any "real" evidence to support same?

    I have come to my own conclusions, based on some study of "Historical Facts" and apply same way of thinking to trading.

    What is your opinion, and why do you have that opinion?

  10. Amongst other reasons, I would suggest: herd mentality.

    Where does that come from? It would come from a deep seated cynicism with regards to the human condition, human nature, the inability to think for ourselves or to question dogma / authority.

    That being said, my wife often says I'm a pessimist. I tell her I'm a realist :)
