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

My style is basically trend following, with some special pattern recognition and money management algorithms.

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.

Systems don't need to be changed. The trick is for a trader to develop a system with which he is compatible.

Working to anticipate the future can be a distraction from the important task of dealing with the present.

Fundamentals that you read about are typically useless as the market has already discounted the price, and I call them “funny-mentals”. However, if you catch on early, before others believe, you might have valuable “surprise-a-mentals”.

The idea of searching for some secret for trading success misses the point.
