ES Journal - 2015

My belief is that counter trend trades can be made, but need a very very short leash. Much better to trade with the trend--it's much more forgiving. Averaging trades is a no no. Much better to enter with full position and get stopped out quickly. You can always re-enter later with full position and a small stop again. Just admit when wrong and take another trade. Mind becomes fresh when stopped out and clear thinking can take over.
 
I will be looking to short this somewhere, perhaps near the end of the month. Ishmael, have you considered the monthly charts on the indexes? I don't like the way the banks look either, all seem to look toppy IMHO.
 
Monthly charts have the long term trend wavering, but uptrend remains firmly intact. Short term bear market that I described turned out to be just that---very short term--basically a correction.
