It looks like old choppy days are coming back.
I have lost huge money so many times in the market. Few years back when I was a emotional/logical trader. I dont considered those losses, in my career as a technical trader.
After learning a bit in TA, and consistently gain of months.....I suffered huge losses during Feb/Apr 09. Market was direction less that period of time.
Every thing was okay after that.
But again from Jun market is not willing to trend. Technically it can be called as consolidation phase.
But positional trading is becoming difficult in such kind of market. Specially people playing with daily charts.
