absolutely could be a bull trap Surf. Tomm will tale the tale. While everybody is having a little fun and trolling around i still am cheering for you. I'd rather see you make it out of O.K. Corral and others end up in Boot Hill. Make sure you oil the triggers well....so to speak...in your trading.
If trading was like golf, Surf would be on maximum handicap. Surf thought when he initially placed his 1000 point short, the market would give it to him on a plate, like easypeasy. You know, a few days later like; "Here's your 1000 points Surf, well done, you are such a smart astute trader, you showed them TA mugs a thing or two"
It's all about time frame, Surfy. Most here are fairly short term Traders and are only "bulls" or "bears" during that particular trade. For example, my indicators said to go long today and I'm already up 35% on my long option trades. I'll be out very soon. But if your system works for you, go for it.
I'm with you, think a bull trap, but the biggest troll is Surf on his own journal, baiting everyone how shit TA / PA is while he so-calls runs a superior method.
Looks more like a bear trap at the moment but in any event, price action ( ya know, the stuff that doesn't work?) has been excellent up and down.
