Dont you feel you have been a bit bull blinded these past few days? Why are you so focused on only going long? Dont worry I caught that one for us
I think I have made very responsible trades and will be net positive in a big way over time like I always have been.
Because on the 15 min chart I noticed that 2577 is a short term support and even though I have 2612 as a resistance the left shoulder is there on longer term chart so the possibility exist for us to run up to 2638-42 before heading down much lower. Since my stop is inside this possible move I decided to take the quick profit and wait to see if my higher short materializes. Of course it then proceeds to drop 15 more points after I cover but that's just part of trading.
I dont doubt that, I am still interested to hear why are you so bent on going long when the market is this choppy and there are great opportunities in both directions.
I only trade with bias and right now I am biased long. This is because I trend trade. I will take losses in order to have extended gains when right. It's not something most folks are interested in. What you will get from me is honesty.
