    Good points.
    And to ''sell @ the worst time'' means they dont even or ever ever scale out.
    ALSO not likely they consistantly ''sell @ the worst time'' LOL That would mean they catch the pivot point very consistantly= not likely:D:D[IF that were true, just fade yourself, for educational purposes]

    WARNING : Calhoun is conveniently ignoring the fact he loaded up on UVXY around roughly 7.7 before the CPI print and took an immediate 9% hit.

    Good;
    but if one could really consitently ''sell@ THE worst possible time'' one could fade himself + make a fortune.
    As far as a bear rally or bear trend, one can sell too early or late, even with a wise scale out.
    So i like both, early or late.
    I like practical stuff , if one sells metals , give the metals cashier a50pound bag of turnip greens/ if she likes them:D:D

    Why did you sell when the market was consolidating? After all, the price didn't show which way it would exit this consolidation, so you had to wait for a breakout and retest of the broken level and only then enter the market.
