keep up that contrarian fight, probably what's kept you winning biologically all these years

I think the number of years of trading, I simple don't look at it as contrarian any more, I use labels so others can understand what I am saying, but at some point, you just lose sight of what trend is on very short term. I just see like a bungee cord and it is pulled till about to snap and get onboard, I know I won't find the extreme, but think even if I am wrong, add on cause it makes price even cheaper to me the further it gets from area that it should be.

But there are some trades I will double size after Goal is reached by trading with trend. Like my signal I call "Screw the Retail", all it is drawing a trendline with trend, wait for a close beyond the TL and wait for retracement back into TL and get in. So far 2 for 2 today, short at 10:50cdt and long at 11:38, I got my 10 ticks on each, seldom have losses on these signals. Bollinger band trades are excellent as well, get trend off higher timeframe but entries on smaller timeframe, not many will do this, and there are tricks when then the signal most likely will not work, if on two minute price does not get to 21ema when price on one minute is hitting below lower BB, these seldom are profitable. Trading is just getting good at a lot of little things, learn something new, test it, it might only work for that day/week/year but by going back ten years, Now you have a great deal of history to prove or disprove what one is seeing.

One thing I have always enjoyed about forums, are the ideas I get from others, and that why they were created, to exchange ideas, but I guess comes down to dedication to learning as much as one can about themselves and their craft.
