Yep. My intraday trend-following trading system has gotten hammered last 2 days. Best to go counter-trend or reversion-to-mean or scalping. Nice, clean intraday trends are rare.
Why not use both strategies...mean reversion and trend following as in two different trade strategies ??? Thus, when you get trade signals in one...in theory...you shouldn't be getting trade signals in the other. Yet, when you get trade signals in both at the same time or very close to each other...the water is muddy (confusing) and it's best to just stay on the sidelines until you get a clear signal without the other. wrbtrader
