As we had discussed previously,a successful trader who trades the ongoing trend of the market is he who is able to stick with the present moment,the "now".........it really does not matter what our intellect tells us where the market is going or not going,the fact is that it really does not matter what we think about the market........The reality is the market move in itself.
Our job as a trader trading the trends of the market is merely to latch on to a trend and stay out of the forecasting business.The problem with this latching on to the trend business is that we don't get to go to a party and show off all our stock knowledge,fundamental/technical skills........In this business,we practically shut our brains and follow the trend.So no glitz or glamour in this,.............nothing to really show off.But you do have banking personnel running after you with ideas on where you should put your money that is growing slowly and steadily in your account!
We therefore use price as everything,now some will tell you of the importance of Price and Time,etc...........as maintained before,Trading Truth has as many paths to it as there are traders,and to each his own.
Now using price,trendlines to give us warning signals,and pivots that tell us to jump ship when that trend of that time frame is over,and some traditional tech chart patterns,our job is nearly almost over.Coupled with a few indicators,and certain patterns to keep a look out for,we are about done....
Keep things as simple as possible.......I know that isn't a style statement these days especially amongst tech traders........do your experimentation,and once you have things figured out,keep things very simple.
