This does not work all the time. Can you please explain what
happened in Jun 09 and Jan. 2010 . We had clear 5 wave down ,but we
went back up and made new highs . I realy like to know , and you
guys do a great job teaching us new trades .Looking forward to your
reply.
Actually, you need to understand EW. Those trades worked
out, here's why
You have to understand EW and I talk about this in the write up:
When you have 5 waves down, that move down is either wave A or 1.
Wave A would be a bullish pullback, while wave 1 would be the
bearish case.
However regardless if it's wave 1 or wave A, you will still get
an oversold bounce in wave B or wave 2. Short the oversold
bounce. Now under the bullish case the next pullback would be
wave C, which would still be winning trade, but obviously not start
a major downtrend.
In July 2009 for example, you had an ABC pullback, under my
scenario you would have shorted the wave B bounce, you then got
another decline in wave C. How did that not produce a winning
trade?
See my attached picture
LOL nothing works all the time. Just like buying a
breakout stock doesn't work all the time, buying a bull flag
doesn't work all the time, nothing does.
You miss the point of my write up: The point is, that's
objective and lower risk then shorting after a sell off that takes
out support and now the market is oversold, thus your risk is
higher. When you short an oversold bounce, the market is no
longer oversold and thus your risk is lower and you can have a much
tighter stop. I never said anything about working all the
time.
Read my baseball analogy below, here's a link. Successful
trading is not about winning on every trader, it's about playing
the odds and taking trades with good risk/reward ratio.
