Persistent Trend Days often exhibit a phenom where not all contracts move at once. It also occasionally exhibits the phenom that catapults a recent laggard into sort of rocket-catsup mode... where what has become expected as commonplace expectation then becomes fuel for stop-loss running of now imprudent expectations.. Just so did the RTY catch me off-guard today. And to make matters MUCH worse, I kept at the shorting of the recent weak player into some serious losses.
Don't expect the market to meet your expectations. The market functions on surprise. Do consider the signals of the other contracts which, when out of sync earlier, displayed the leadership behavior then that the trader finds so much in surprise in the laggard today.
