I'm in the process of cleaning out my library of dusty trading books. So I'll be outlining here some tidbits of wisdom that I find inspiring. For instance, spotting a trend continuation early can be very lucrative. More so than spotting a reversal. Did you know trading is more about market rhythms, which are manifested in price swings.
A good example of trend continuation. Sadly, multiple trend continuation doesn't happen every day. Sadly, a choppy market happens almost every day.
That's why you need to train your eyes as if were a sniper, quietly waiting in the corner, for days on end if necessary, for your prey to show up.
very true if it is a bear just look for double tops.... and trading ranges which form double tops near the top of range. i always see them 10 hours late the reason i did not see it in 30 years because i was looking for the 2 wave in ABC or the fourth wave complex correction or the wedge top/bottom, or the expanding triangle, or the broadening top.... you know simple stuff like that now double bottoms and tops are invisible and no can see them.
are you trading for that? once you see it and start trading it and making money, they will spring the trap
