B1S2, much respect and thanks for posting. I was long from 53ish and took a big hit. I flipped short, but closed between 47.30 and 46.80. Net=a big drawdown. Crappy timing. I continue with confidence, nevertheless. Generally, I find that veteran traders won't fault you for a loss. The inexperienced always find a way to expose themselves. People fail at trading because they can't handle losses.
I specifically remember you making some against the trend hero calls and being completely wrong. It happens.
He fades an index with a VIX of 12. Mean reversion has never been better. I remember that clown in 2008 holding shit for 200 handles in his face with a market a little more volatile then this one.
That doesn't sound like coming from a 100% technical chartist, who usually refers to only one single chart. But that could be right. We never know the markets for sure.
