The market is exceptionally skilled at giving a signal then instantly wiping early adopters without them being wrong about direction just unfavorably positioned. It is also very much possible to be favorably positioned but as inferior fills but that will play mind games with amateur traders because they simply feel they are shorting low or buying high; the feeling of being too late aka the hard trade. These are powerful market mechanics that you should study thoroughly but then again since I don't post a track record audited by Yellen herself I'm probably full of shit right?
i iterate what i said yesterday: markets shrugged off the downing of the russian warplane, what is going to make the market go down if not that?
Understood. I've been studying the markets for many years, taken time off from trading, come back, etc, etc...I'm aware of market mechanics, etc...much of the time it's a matter of "synchronizing" observation with trading execution...same things that others deal with. It would be cool if you could just make your observations, talk about your opinions on market direction without the added attitude. This thread is mostly devoid of trash talking and shouting down others opinions. A few weeks back Recession2016 posted a chart probably a couple of days before the swing highs in early November and you ripped him a new one...completely off base, IMO.
It's not really that man its just that aside from a few minor things the thread has positively been like the Ag Ideas thread - devoid of "I know more than all you idiots" type stuff.
