True. Actually, I tend to do better in sideways markets. In trends I get nervous about how much longer the move will last and I jump out too soon. Then I have trouble jumping back in. In trading ranges it is more clear to me where to enter, and in trading ranges you are SUPPOSED to get out early. It's like what Arnold Palmer used to say about playing in sand traps- it is the only shot in golf where you are supposed to miss the ball. I play pretty well in sand traps, too.
Do not jump back, dude, unless you sure you can do that. Be patient. Remember, OMG, it is so pathetic. You never buy on min and sell on max. When I quit, it’s always climbs up. Moral: you made a profit, RELAX!!!
