Disliked{quote} It is a tough nut to crack. If you are applying predictive methods such as mean reversion then entries matter. If you apply price following methods under diversification then exits rather than entries matter. I personally think that very few retail traders apply price following successfully. They might think they are price followers...but probably underneath it all have prediction in the back of their mind :-)Ignored
The boundary of pullback compared to the boundary of a runaway trend is less volatile making it possible for prediction whereas the latter is theoretically unlimited. In this context, this makes entry more important than exits, and more possible to pull off accurate prediction. For this same reason, contrarian mean reversion trades do not appeal and it's a difficult challenge about prediction in uncharted waters I am researching into at the moment.
