Trend following is an exercise in observing and responding to the ever-present moment of now

Be sensitive to subtle differences between 'intuition' and 'into wishing'.

The trading rules I live by are: 1. Cut losses. 2. Ride winners. 3. Keep bets small. 4. Follow the rules without question. 5. Know when to break the rules.

Everybody gets what they want out of the market.

The markets are the same now as they were five or ten years ago because they keep changing-just like they did then

In order of importance to me are: 1) the long term trend, 2) the current chart pattern, and 3)picking a good spot to buy or sell.

I turn bullish at the instant my buy stop is hit, and stay bullish until my sell stop is hit.
