catch the bottom, blow the top , or blow the ledger . lol just kidding bro .
there are 100's of ways of making money in the market. sell the weakness/buy the strength I follow.
Got greedy and moved my limit from 7305 to 7250, anticipating a break in 7300. S&P bounced from 1850 and my TSL got hit with just 15 points gain.
That was a departure from plan and bad trading psychology :annoyed:
1) Don't trade all the gaps.Trade 1st or 2nd gap.After third or fourth gap it is generally time for the move to end or go sideways.
2) Make sure that we have an extended move earlier so that the current move is likely to extend to some extent.
3) I have never used this observation as a stand-alone trading system.I have always used it to decide to hold the positions or not.So I have no idea how it will do as a system.I don't recommend it to be used as a system but one can incorporate it in the system with other subsystems to confirm the strength of the move.
4) It works better if the move is a breakout / breakdown from congestion or after a breakaway gap.
