One day tends to 'train' you for the next. If the action on the earlier day was choppy with truncated swings, you find yourself exiting positions taken on the next day as if expecting the same.... only to witness the Rule of Alternation in full force, cringing to see yourself exit before the excursions fully develop. Cursing yourself for leaving such big swings on the table, you begin the day after that with fresh reprimand in mind, and find yourself holding positions you could have at least gotten some profit with far too long amidst the return to truncated swings and choppy action. This is how the market works. "Unless you expect the unexpected, you can never find truth. So hard it is to find and grasp." --Heraclitus
