Re: GEN: Market Direction

I don't trade off indicators and systems, so there is no pat answer. I do
use Robert Miner's simplified approach to EW and a change in counts is one
trigger where a bearish count clearly evolves to bullish or vice versa.
Another is simply watching the price action evolve. An example: I've been
short SB9V (Oct Sugar) for a couple of weeks now based on idea that a final
C wave decline is needed to complete the correction and have trailed a
simple stop. However, recent price action (see series of smaller range
inside days) is suggesting that something else may be in the wind. I am now
trailing a stop and reverse which will put me net long if sugar breaks out
to upside.

To summarize: until recently I had no opinion regarding a change in
trend/direction if stopped out so I used a simple stop, now I have an
opinion regarding direction so am trailing a SAR which allows the market to
put me in synch if it wants to up. Hope this helps.
