    I haven't for the last nine years be cause the trend is up.

    If I see the market reverse I go to cash or use the inverse ETFs

    Quite simply, closed long positions and pocketed money. And the madness goes on at the expense of the people.

    Mental block, trusting down trends and joining still, 70% of my trades are Long side, but I do just try to play the current last 16mins direction.

    Ya, but if market goes down for 2-3 months, yur sitting on hands doing nothing.
    Better to buy inverse ETF's imo, at least getting some paid entertainment.

    Since when? How did you come up with that analysis?

    I think most of us just stay flat and type threads about greendayeverydayallday

    The only date that caused me to go to cash was feb/ march of 2020. During the others dates non of my holdings triggered a sell signal

    That said a lot of stocks triggered sells during the up trend. The last time I was 100% cash was 2008

    The 200 day ma didn't trend downward on the other dates

    Your system didn't trigger a sell in March?
    Remind me not to buy your system ;)
