Quote from Arthur Deco:

There was a totally random, utterly irrational, and usually untrustworthy bounce off a Dow retracement of the last big move. Unverifiable as valid by backtesting. You believe that voodoo bullshit? Somebody did.

That "believe" word again. You really can trade what you believe? I suppose the value here is at least don't trade what you don't believe. The trader that made money on that run a moron I guess.. Actually saw a long on that I didn't take which was worth a comfortable 12 NQ.. lost short instead.

I think Mark Douglas was spot on in his books about market action being all about belief. For myself, I only trade what I have backtested. That is the source of my belief. Verging on faith. That is not to say that there aren't days when I feel like Job.

Ok.. I overlooked where you said "verifiable".. therefore based on testing rather than belief.. you mean beilef in your testing/system...
