the only way to pick bottoms like that (if you can call it that) is to go down to a lower time frame like the 30 or 15 minute or at a minimum if you're trying to pick a bottom say "go long if price above yesterday high" - but even then you get faked out like on 11/9 price went above the 11/8 bar but kept falling.

yes you will miss massive short covering rallies off the bottom but you'll also miss continued plunges into the depths of despair.

Quote from Chuck E. Cheese:

it could be anywhere between $15-30 next year



If your unit were dimes instead of dollars, then I might have agreed with you. Good luck to you!
