Never underestimate the power of a momentum move. Up or Down. Once the freight train is in motion, it will keep going much further than most have anticipated.

Price is the only thing that matters. Adapt to it, don’t fight it.

Don’t underestimate the power of desperate money managers in the fourth quarter. They need to beat their benchmarks or risk losing their jobs/clients.

Mental stops will ensure you an emotional trade. Don't use mental stops. You are either in the trade or not. Mental stops invite emotions.

Mental stops are another way of saying: “I am not sure where to place my stop”

Adding to a losing position is one of the best ways to end your trading career.

The biggest winning trades normally have a big volume driving them higher.

Trading triple ETFS will deplete the account over the long term.

“Too many eyes” on a key breakout point will most likely cause that pattern to fail first. AKA; fuckery. Revisit the “NEW” setup after the fuckery has shaken out the majority.

The sentiment is always more negative on bottom retests than in the FIRST low. Watch out above if the retest is successful.
