  1. 5/22 - market close with down.

    I just load long positions after market closed.

  3. BTFK has much higher probability to success in bull market than pick the top/bottom.
    You won't hurt much if you are wrong, as long as you have a good trade management and hedge properly. This is the real edge but sadly so many amateur ET never understand. They think pick the top or bottom is cool and smart, this explains why their trading account never grow to more than $25k

    Lol, just look at a chart.

    A market making all time highs is a bull market!
