The market is always bigger than you are...and on some days much, much bigger. There is a tendency to fight the 2nd trend direction of the day when the reversal into that trend fails to meet your entry qualifications required to catch it. Such is was for me today, as the bottom came shy of several technical ingredients necessary for entry, and I was left watching it progress through a number of resistance levels and structure levels without being able to enjoy it's offerings to those who, by other means, were participating in the rapid retracement back towards the Opening levels. ....thus, I fought with it with shorts, and lost all the early profits of the initial trades. Don't fight the market on strong impulse action. Your tendency to do so will only put you into the majority company of those also doing so who are only fueling it further. ....and be sure to cut your losses off at about the same number of profit points you set as a daily goal. Tomorrow is another day....
