When ever things don't follow TA & charts or make sense, my brain hurts. So I put on the tinfoil hat to protect myself and start speculating until the pain goes away and things make sense again. LOL
It's done for survival, after all we are up against the darkside. So I Guess instead of react to signals. If my guess follows what I expect the darkside is doing. I usually have plenty of time to create a trading plan still. But that plan is adjusted depending on how good the guess is followed.
With TA & charts It's easyer & safer, just buy on entry signals & exit on profit/loss goals. With tinfoil you have to dance with the big guy steps. Never really know what's next.
