DislikedHDA,
Nobody is arguing that you were correct, nor that short was the easiest trade direction, nor that other's traded the long side. What some feel is that you come across as stubborn and unyielding to other points of views. I made money on the long side and the short side while you pounded the table to be short. Does that make me more right than you? No, all it means is I have a different method.
You claim to just guide/help/assist traders, but as I posted earlier, a trader holding short because HDA said so does not help said trader....Ignored
many people here are not experienced enough to trade small retraces here and there. they are thinking it's probably the smack bottom. he is just trying to guide people to the directing where the price is heading.
i'm really surprised at some people stoning him for that. listen to what he has to offer. hda can be a big help in this thread.
