not long and we get the usual humble post from Surf. I was wrong, closed for a small profit (demo). New all time highs. Then all in short again (10 demo units) because THIS time, this is the big one. lol what a punk.
ES bounced off the 90wma on Mar 27 and then came back to test there, based and now looks to reach new high's.
Lessons to be learned. Don't be like a termite in a yo yo. When the market is generous to you take your profits. Get out when it is taking your profits. He actually made a pretty good call from the time he entered his last position. He had almost no risk, if any, from entry until even now. Even though it is very low probability, the B.O. of the bear channel could fail, and a 1000 point drop could happen but that is highly unlikely before new highs are made. His next test will be to see if he will take a loss or be like a termite in a yo yo again. All in all, for his type of trading, his last trade actually was a good call. Over 700 points. Just alot of adversity along the journey and he could have made much more than that by jumping in and out on various occassions. Hold on tight to your billfold boys and lock those profits in cause when the market gives you some it aims to grab it back as soon as it can and then some. Did anyone pay heed to my post https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/surf-report.306890/page-195#post-4445276 Of course not. Who listens to chart readers that play off of patterns these days? Especially old chart readers!
