Strong Trend: Why Does It Pull Back?

As trend continues, it gets far from stop


Risk is greater
Institutions must prevent risk from getting too big
Popular way is to reduce position size by taking profits
When bulls take profits,

@Albrooksall
market pulls back, and goes sideways to down

E?•
- - - Stop
o+t
□+~
- - Stop Once bulls confident that bears
will fail to reverse bull trend,
bulls buy again
Now have tighter stop

[Link] [Link] Slide 7


Deep Pullback: If Premise Still Good , Trend Continues

Some PBs go all of the way to beginning of trend, PBs


and sometimes beyond
As long as premise valid, trend still good

Often rally

@Albrooksall
above resistance
in bear

Often fall
below support
Deep PB to DB HL MTR
in bull
Held slightly above prior low

50%

50%

50% PB in bear means distance to stop (risk) is same distance .


as to bottom of bear trend (minimum reward)
Probability favors trend resumption,
50% so traders like to sell on 50% PB in bear trend

@Albrooksall
Traders buy 50% PB in bull trend 50% I
