    I always trade with conviction... scared money always loses. Place your trade, manage your risk and accept your loss if you are wrong.

    I agree I look crazy shorting this... no doubt about it. That is why I am going small size and know that the better short will probably be tomorrow. Markets look really bullish here but I have to follow my trading plan A move below 1515-1516 would confirm the reversal

    Its one of my favorite countertrend setups because the risk/reward is mimimum 1:10. But that means you are not going to get 90% odds.. I strive for 60% winners with this setup.

    Dont blindly sell into this late in the day.. I am but thats cuz I have some cushion and doing small size. Best to wait for some confirmation because if this holds it will be for a big move and plenty of profits can be made.

    I dont look at in terms of margin. I use net/DD. The managed accounts are a pool of money.
