NEVER trade against the trend.
Why not? U can always swing on retrace and get some pips. It doesnt matter as I always put smaller lots on retrace and its always fun for me to test my strategy

I usually never trade against the greater trend as well......Trading with the trend is much easier in many ways.

1. It will always get you out of trouble when you make a bad entry
2. Why attempt to trade against banks with unlimited capital resources at their disposal?
3. Greater RR ratios
4. Less stress
5. If your stops are hit, when trading with the trend, on a reentry you will always make back the loss(assuming you have the trend correct)
6. you can add to winners and let winners run.....

looking at 1hr chart price retraces perfectly to the first line of resistance. short running SL @ BE as you can see, most likely will take profit and wait for the possible retracement to the second fibonacci level where I have pending shorts.

although if the price manages to continue through 2167 I may turn this into a longer term trade.

One man's trend is another man's correction......I will trade a correction if it is supposed to last for more than 3 days...but then I would position trade it not swing trade it......meaning I would only pick one entry and one exit.....Ofcourse it wouldn't be the same amount I risk because I am high risk......for pattern traders or anyone corrections are the payback time so unless if you are good at them it's better to stay on the sidelines....It is the opportunities.....Impulsive waves that pay off........corrections are phsychologically defeating....i WAS just hammered in correction.....but I do it because I am still learning and want to gain the experience in trading it .....this new course about corrections and trying to apply it ....can't be a good trader without trying everything out yourself.....

I understand what you're trying to say regarding his actions so far, but then what you just posted speaks volumes in itself...

That's all I'll say for now but you DO see the problem right?

You can consider this post the last thing I have to say on the topic. I reported my own post to Twee and it's his Call now....

I got trades to manage.

Got you loud and clear brother.

i dont know where we are going. i see the possibility of going no higher now then 2197/2201..(probably wishful thinking on my part). still riding my short with a st target of 2130 plus slip bounce. before that we have to hit todays low and of course the all time mid about 2133. the same targets as posted yesterday... short term on the way to .858 then .77 then .077 to 0. r wherever banks/broker stop trading eu. . good luck

and yes i see the possible ihs on the 1 hour chart.

1.2050 and 1.2028 at first target we will have minor correction.....I would exit at the first one.......It is wave 3.........We will not go up past 1.2210 before hitting that target in the bottom......

I can post you charts If you like..............WAVE 3 is gold and everybody recognizes trend is down......this is also all in context of a primary wave 3 down.....so I see you like to trade short trends but depending on your risk and returns and if your broker has a first in first out rule I would keep this sell for 2 months at least and you can come back to thank me.....but tell me where you got your sell because we will have one more retracement up and if you clear that line you have a HOME RUN ....Capitalize on it.....Look at a longterm chart choose the best ...I wish would have entered and held positions and this is ONE of them.....

It speaks loudly enough that the DJ is at around flash crash values while the Euro is holding well above last lows. Anti correlative hedge anyone? Oh yeah I've been calling that one for a while now

I'm watching. Playing off the 60m chart with a 2 week history in mind, I want to see if we break and hold 2166. If so, I like a move to 2050ish area. If not, I'm looking for potential upside again.

Looking at 2210ish as possible upside signal.

Of course with the bull rush out of the stock market, never know where this baby is going to end up. All I know is it could go down a ton more or up a ton more.
Only expectation matters . . .

If it breaks 2178, it's something to think about.

Well, my views aren't quite in line with his but I recognize an historical figure when I see one. That picture is definitely a classic.

Amazon and Rimm up 6-7% closing during afterhours.. does this happen often? I mean up big afterhours only to level off during premarket.
