This, options, not to be confused with financial instruments of the same name, is what adjustment is all about. A robust "rule" will allow for and have options. Without the option of using options as part of your rules, this highlights the loss of time, opportunity, and through osmosis, money. Which of course takes on a tearful perspective for the long(er) term holdings. Robust rules that allow for and have options, saved the day and will again another day too, I'm sure. Not possible the way I live and think. All the best to you.
Everyday is different in the markets. There are general trends..ranges..pull back..BO...channels...to be sure and all are a reflection of human nature. However, that said, no two are exactly the same in terms of the forces at play within them. That is, no two trends are exactly the same. Likewise with ranges therefore it is best not to trade each one the exact same way each time.
