A leadership struggle means that long and short signals can come nearly on top of each other, and in the opposing trend directions. One of those leaders, however, is usually proven wrong right from the outset. Today, both were proven right, but at differing times, as if they were politely punting the ball back after 4 or more downs if unsuccessful in moving the chains the required 10 yards, or after having scored a touch down to new highs or lows. Whatever... it only makes the trades come a bit faster and requires keeping the overall trend prejudice to a squat nothing. Other than that... a walk in the park. Stay with your Plan. Your Trade Plan will keep the losses small and bring you back into sync, assuming the entry models you're using within your Plan work far more than they fail.
