Why Can't I Trade with the Trend

Quote from Flashboy:

Every trend day or period like the last 3 days I always have trouble trading with the trend.

I'm always looking for that turning point so I can hop on for the big score..

I most likely need to work on my plan for trading with the trend.. and force myself to do it until I become more comfortable..

Anyone else have this problem?

ah, maybe cause there's no such thing as trend.


trend only exists in hindsight.


one day you will learn.

Take your sentence above and replace the word water with price and spend a day at the ocean watching the waves through 2 full cycles of High and Low tides. Then tell me that action doesn't exist in the Market.

In that case, give me an example of a publicly traded instrument whose price rises and falls but always returns to a constant middle value. And what is that value?

dr.logic and i have gone round and round on this issue.

although obviously quite intelligent, he is suffering from a common delusion affecting the majority of market participants.

Someone better call the logic repairman.

Delusions can be costly in this racket, no question about it.

yeah, man. i stand by my statement.

think about it.... you never know when the "trend" is going to end, and what part of the "trend" you entered the trade in. if you have a winning trade...you can say---i caught the trend, i am with the trend. a losing trade, obviously you are not with the trend. you only KNOW for sure about the trend after you enter the trade and the trend is directly related to your success in the trade or lack there of.


if you flip a coin 10 times and comes up heads 10 times, are you in a "heads" trend ? see what i mean ?


nice to see you here !

You seem to be in search of something that works 100% of the time. Of course, NOTHING does. And, to keep a long story, short; this is all part of one's MM methods. Trends DEFINITELY occur. Some are so obvious, even Stevie Wonder could see them!!
