I do not care if it is bull or bear. I only care how to fetch a tiny money from it. I play both sides in one day. But I feel safer when play bear in the bear market.

I do not think so. I feel safer to play bear because the market had a lower low yesterday. Right now, it could be a upward consolidation for the resuming down trend. HOU is not good for long term.

Today's volume is much bigger than yesterday. Right now there are 4 green and 5 red bars. Green bars still have the bigger volume. I do not see huge bears piling. Waiting on sideline watching the brutal fight.

MM can hide any thing but volume. If this pattern occurs again and again( price up/volume down) on the 5 minutes chart. It means this is a upwards consolidation for a dip down trend. I will wait for a while to understand Mr. Market.

I do not see lot of shorts today. So no action for me either. It is in consolidation phase. And I do not see short squeeze either. Pretty strange pattern today. The first hour looks like short-cover push up(some shorts hold the position overnight)

Followed by 2 green bars with much less volume(4.1M,3.4M). The price goes up, the volume to support the pricing up is less. What does this mean? Waiting..

I still donot see any huge bear. Where are they? Waiting at the resistance line? Over all, green bars have bigger volume than red bars. Kind of disappointed.

Here is the rule for DT position entry. I learned from somebody else and also from my bloody experience1. It is never too late to cut your loss. It is never too early to lock your profit.
2. Do not play the crashing market. There is no reason to rush into a short position when market is crashing down(like yesterday afternoon, it you miss it, keep on missing it, do not jump into it). A short opportunity will present itself upon upward consolidation(maybe like this afternoon).
3. Trust no opinion. Trust chart.
