Dia 29 de Abril de 2008 houve um forte rally dos mercados. Observando o intraday do E-mini SP500, pode-se verificar que em tendências fortes o $TRIN permanece abaixo de “1″. NUNCA deve-se abrir venda em uma tendência como essa.

Não houve chance para os vendedores, que ensaiaram uma correção. Mas compradores dominaram completamente.

Após a correção arredondada, o índice é jogado na segunda resistência do Ponto de Pivot (R2), e permanece consolidando nessa região durante a hora do Mc Donalds. O $TRIN permanece abaixo de 1. Quando a tigrada volta do almoço, por volta das 15:15, novas máximas são atingidas.

Where is your head during the market day?

Are you looking through the rear-view mirror, criticizing your last trade?

Are you looking at your profit/loss for the day and filtering trades through that?

Are you distracted by people or the phone?

Are you thinking about yourself and how well or poorly you’ve been doing?

Are you locked in an opinion of what the market “should” be doing instead of observing what it *is* doing?

Are you wanting to get your money back after a loss or hold onto it after a gain?

Are you focusing more on yourself or on what markets are doing?

Many times, our head just isn’t in the game. We can’t be focused on performance outcomes and immersed in our performance at the same time.

When you ask yourself questions such as the ones above, you are thinking about your thinking: you become your own observer. Asking the right questions: That is the start of all self-coaching. With repetition, we internalize the coaching role and take control over our learning curves.
