I always recommend when it comes to bull markets, "nibble on dips, and enjoy the rips." No need for profit taking, but when capital needs to be invested the best modus operandi is to wait till price falls and confirms a bounce off the pivot points to the right.
I want to put in your minds eye, your third eye an image. A warzone between warring Viking clans. I do not care if you are short or long (although it is ill-advised to short a bull market) but use these pivot points for planning all your entries and exits. Imagine you are on the battlefield and you have the warring Viking shield wall running right at you, and you are in the middle of the field on your lonesome - I would say unless you have the buying power of a market maker it will not end well and typically you enter your position immediately in a loss. Now, let's say instead you watch on the sidelines and see the enemies charge the shield wall and clash into the pivot point. I recommend joining your shield wall at that point as you will have an army of buyers putting up a fight with you. Or if the wall breaks with confirmation, and we are in a bear market you have a target for your short and you will know where to take profits and bow out for the next conflict.
I do not know if that imagery is of any aid to anyone, but literally this how I view trading and it makes it a heck of a lot more entertaining to watch it play out. We are blessed to not be in a day & age of having actual shield walls, but let's still trade strategically with a battle plan as the capital and resources are exactly what many of those conflicts were all about.
Good luck trading guys!
