    Surely the timeframe the trader is working with defines the trend. I could say the same thing, i go against the daily trend which may be up all day to follow the new trend down. I thought the market is built from mini fractals to major fractals depending on the time frame. Your trend and...

    My favorite counter-trend trader is Paul Tudor Jones, here is a quotes that really make sense to me: ''Develop an idea on the market and pursue it from a very-low-risk standpoint'' "I believe the very best money is to be made at market turns. Everyone says you get killed trying to pick...

    Your trading set-up looks kool, and i have to say you are one very dedicated trader. It seems the market has taken control of you and i can understand if it has. I find myself getting more and more obsessed with the markets and trading everyday - granted i have just had knee surgery so i am...

    Great explanation - i am going to buy and study a few psychology books to help me rewire my brain. I have a target for each unit i trade, i note each target down in my trade analysis and i have found that 78% of the time my suggested targets have been hit. However, my actual exits reached my...

    I took the other 2 out at 98.25 again, did not like price action and my analysis is indicating one more thrust upwards before any pullback. Also, bull flag may be developing and don't want to sit through that. Its like watching paint dry, think im gonna go grab some lunch.

    Thank for the explanation, as a discretionary trader it is vital to me. However, i can understand how someone following a system based on e.g. Moving averages would not consider it. I wonder if Buy1Sell2 is a discretional trader or system based.
