boss could you clarify: trend is short... buy long in stagesOut of Bounds wrote:That is why, when trading against the trend, you buy in to your position in stages.
I meant shorter trend (Immediate). As in, going short this morning while the market was moving up. and then continued to move up. If the market had been dropping, I would have poured into my shorts much quicker.Al_Dente wrote:boss could you clarify: trend is short... buy long in stagesOut of Bounds wrote:That is why, when trading against the trend, you buy in to your position in stages.
or do you mean the reverse??

So, instead of freaking out because I was beginning to lose money, I just waited and shorted more at higher and higher prices.
So now I am showing an overall profit for today even though at 1PM I had a big loss.
Potential losses end up being smaller and gains (if target met) are much bigger!

Squirrels understand economics better than humans do. When times are good and acorns are abundant (fall), they immediately start building up a stash of food, burying them or hiding them somewhere. When winter comes, they are ready and have a supply of food to get them through the tough times.
Humans do the exact opposite. When times are good, our government DOESN'T build up a rainy day fund. It keeps spending and building up debt. Then when a recession hits, its not ready for it. It runs up debt. Then humans blame the business sector and demand higher taxes and regulations on business, which stunts new business growth and makes the recession worse than it had to be.
If a human was a squirrel, it would devour all the acorns in the fall, then starve in the winter and burn down all the trees that give acorns while it blames the trees for its problems.
