shellsnail replied Nov 9, 2013Just be aware of the tail-risks! Don't fall into the trap of hoping that price will come back or adding to losing positions without a fixed plan and I think you're on your way to making millions. That said, those are what usually kill traders ...

shellsnail replied Nov 9, 2013Don't disagree. Your exit strategy is basically to go long and short on the same pair. Perfectly sensible if you ask me. I think no one on this thread actually questions the virtue of cutting down losses in whatever way possible - it is just that ...

shellsnail replied Nov 9, 2013Why have open trades in opposite directions on the same pair? Just close the damn trade if you are convinced it is reversing and stop feeding your broker additional commissions lol.

shellsnail replied Nov 9, 2013The S&P chart is befuddling. Two scenarios seem probable at the moment. Either we begin a huge bear market from here or we will start a REAL bull run to above 2500 levels. But you know what they say about crazy fifth waves. If we do get there in a ...

shellsnail replied Nov 9, 2013haha OK - good for you! Honestly, if there's anything as close to a holy grail in the markets, in my opinion is EW theory. I think in terms of big picture, it points you to the large opportunities. But the real useful part is in giving you entries ...
