Short. Longs were sold moments ago.
My summation signal is down.
My composite trend signal is down.
I exited longs today.
This may be just the wrong thing to do, but I am honoring the change in my trend signal.
I also have possible short setups in play as well. Gulp.
I can argue that the low is in, and a rally to new ATHs is starting. Perhaps rumors of European and Chinese stimulus are true.
I can argue that after some quarter end window dressing, the downtrend will go to its end point.
As usual, I don't know what will happen.
My signals produce odds that favor more down.
That said, there have been several times over the last year where the bulls have pulled out right at the precipice.
So, things may change perhaps even by the end of the day.
I have managed pretty well in the trading range we have been in with a few nimble trades.
However, with my trend signal turning down, discipline is to sell the rally and let stops limit risk.
The odds suggest heads, but it could come up tails.
I'll review the action after the close and on Monday and adjust if warranted.
