Liquid - why didn't you tell me that when I was up before I pissed it away trying to catch a pullback trade in a dead 6E market??

I used this smiley once and sometimes when I think of taking a counter-trend trade I'll get this image in my head:

Sometimes I do. When at a pivot point I feel the risk/reward is high enough for counter trend trading.

Hey my name is Sam, and I'm a counter trend trader

I take the obvious pivot trades, if there's a level or a channel that the market seems to be slowing at. But I really just try to be whatever direction the market is headed in my time frame, anymore. I think that's trading for what it is. You can catch those big reversals, the kind of trades that can make for stories, even. But most of the time you probably wont be making money from that. Those trades can be very speculative. You're only making money when you're positioned the way the market is heading, after all.
