Geoff, Fully agree... there is conundrum (in the trader's head) when prices get to support/resistance rooted in the trader refusing to accept a possible loss if the line is broken as opposed to an easliy mismanaged trade once he chases after the reversal. At times like these a simple indicator divergence CAN help take the correct (but difficult) trade.
Markets moving by gapping irritating... Had cover at 81 for POT.. it traded there but I guess it was too crowded.. Covered 82 and change. Currrently sitting in FAZ low 48's. The gaps rob you of intraday movement.
There is little doubt in my mind MM's know my trades and wait for me to exit before moving the market.. eerie...
Clearly I have no business day-trading. The only method that has ever worked for me is swing trading, and to that I am returning. Madness.
Your covestor.com performance chart show you have a 14.64% YTD return. Why does this differentiate from your excel chart?
I don't know. Covestor sometimes seems all over the place. Perhaps they haven't recorded my losses last week. There is a lag for sure. Trust me, I know I am down for the year.. probably the very last thing I'd fib on.. LOL...
I was hoping I helped you find lost money Keep up your spirit and don't look back. This is just another chapter and I'm looking forward to seeing you turn it around.
