Talked to many traders today. It seems that people are not trading the current trend at hand but are worried when it will take correction, will it start a downtrend from which level etc and calling every high as a great place to sell and getting stopped out. Traders are in disbelief and the market keeps going up .Traders are looking for an excuse to either not trade or short the market thereby resisting the ongoing trend.
Nobody knows when the current uptrend will end...but why worry about that....if the trend reverses, it will hit our daytrading stops of 10-12 points and swing trading stops of 25-30 points and we will know that the trend has reversed. But in anticipation of the the reversal , we are not only missing the money to be made from the current upmove but worse still we are loosing by shorting at every new top . I am sure when the downtrend starts, people will start thinking when that downtrend ends and will be going long at every bottom only to see new bottom hitting their stops.
Trade the current trend and that is definately UP...(we will trade the downtrend only when it starts)
