DislikedNow look at example 9 from the perspective of trying to trade counter trend.
A trend continuation ends up occurring but it includes a pullback that consolidates for several days and there are spikes in both directions. There is a counter trend pullback (new low on the bottom of the bars against the up trend), then there is a series of higher lows again so we might be looking for a chance to trade it on a break of that first pullback low bar.
Just before the long break there is a downward spike that does break that first pullback low bar. If that counter trend low peak is traded on this bar the trade would fail.
Let's say we observe many other such pullbacks and see other examples where there's spikes in both directions and we can't reliably just trade blind peaks or we'd get whipsawed, but we notice (to save time I noticed it in the past) that during a reversal trade setup, if one of those counter trend bar peaks forms and is then broken on the next bar, it tends to be more successful than just trading the break of the counter trend bar at any random point in the future.
So update the counter trend trading rule with this observation of what happens pictorially in a good reverse trade.
Rule 2: Trading a reversal. When the counter trend side of the bars experiences a pullback, trade the break of that pullback if it occurs on the following bar. If no break of the counter trend move occurs, wait for a new counter trend setup.Ignored
Anyway, I will step back and watch your progress
Good luck
