Sounds good. From level to level is where the money is at. Many 50% retraces after a decent "run" is tradable regardless where you grabbed the profits on the runup or rundown. After i take the profits from a "run" the next thing i look for is how deep will the retrace take us or will the previous "run" continue on without me.
I do not chase stuff for the simple reason that if i chase i am more likely than not to get in JUST BEFORE the retrace sets in and get STOPPED out. Chasing is a bad habit because it gets one in just as price loses steam more aften than not and you get the afforementioned retrace.
IMO many new traders do not understand that retraces are NORMAL and they want to reverse the trade just before the previous "RUN" continues on. It takes time for new traders to understand the character of what they trade.
