Maybe it's just me but has anyone found that these markets for the last 2 weeks are acting very random and the rules and guidelines we have learned are just not cutting it, or is it just me?
Its a very news driven market right now. Any tariff talk or rumor of a trade "deal" with any of the countries or retaliatory tariffs can set the market off and break a logical pattern. Its slowing down the last few days. Hopefully the news cycle will continue to calm down as well.
Thank you David for the comment. I think I'll just sit on the sidelines until the markets return to a more normal trend.
I would disagree with the statement that the rules and guidelines are just not cutting it. Month of April has been good for me so far, I have been able to find trades. It does seem that the low probability event has happened more than usual lately, but that's just my anecdotal experience and a coin can flip 6 times in a row on heads. Keep applying the price action principles with appropriate stops and you will be fine.
IDK, I've been able to make money on swing trades using nothing but BPA principles.
Same with me also. Able to view many trades from time to time in spite of all these up and downs and with frequent erratic moves day in and day out.
