Couldn't be more pleased for you   though I notice that resistance level at 13096 in the dax held again.

[Guest oilfxpro]

I just buy supports and don't go short , 75 %  of the time it works 

[Caseynotes]

"75 %  of the time it works". Not in a downtrend it doesn't, nor during a period of consolidation. Select your strategy to suit the prevailing market conditions.

This is not what a up-trending chart looks like, and therefore cannot be conducive to a bull-trend trading strategy.

I don't trade like the herd i.e buy high and close lower, trend trading means sell lower and getting stopped out higher  at a loss.This is for amateurs  and the herds.

It's just that we remember the last infallible strategy you found on the internet and made equally boastful remarks about. It failed miserably. Still, best of luck this time round.

It never failed, it is akin to trend trading,  that is why M Covel sells trend trading education.This trend trading,if it worked, if  it was easy  HE WOULD BE TRADING IT.

missed Dow trade 

but still a nice uptrend

 

waiting patiently for next opportunity

[Guest sean]

Looks interesting. I suppose in a bear market you could reverse the strategy & trade off resistance?

The stock markets are long biased, would you make a profit trading shorts?I don't trade shorts because the probability of making money on shorts is low.Secondly failure of shorts arouse psychological demons.

 

People sell trend trading education and courses, because they can't make money timing the markets and 80% of trends fail.Trends are visible only in hindsight.

long dow with a 23600  cash and  long 23580 put .It is a trend about to break out, but also 80 % of these fail to breakout.Small position , will add at better prices lower.

[Caseynotes]

Of course you are right .  Check the bigger picture to make sure you are not going against the prevailing market conditions.  is also right but not 80% of trends fail, 100% fail. All trends come to an end when they consolidate or reverse.

 

Note the dax monthly, 3 year downtrend 1999 - 2002, 1 year downtrends in 2007 & 2010 & 2014.

 

So check the market on 3 or 4 time frames up from the one you are trading and either choose a market to suit the strategy or choose a strategy to suit the market.

Interesting to note that both Gann & Livermore made fortunes on "shorting" the market. Not taking anything away from what you are saying. Just making an observation.

Couldn't agree more.

Usually by the time you see a trend , it is too late to enter, it is usually reversing 80% of the time.

 

choose a strategy to suit the market.

 

This strategy is about implementing positions for short term longs, along with the vast majority of the market.

 

Successful trading is about being in agreement with the market, and being in agreement with other professional traders.Long trades on indices have an edge , short trades do not as per some data, 67% of long trades were profitable.

I understand the strategy & I appreciate your posts & time. Personally I adhere to the realization that there isn't one strategy to fit all conditions. I've made decent gains in bull & bear. I'm also a firm believer in doing what suits you best and what makes you profit.
