QUEST-tion..."what does it need to negate it...it can keep doing that until a certain trigger happens...how do you know it is it..."
Having become the Fort Knox of Silver in the early 2000's from profits in the techMania...I never did get into the realEstate thing; but my son did, by owning 3 houses before age 25...which he sold 2 at the top of the market with the remaining one being a duplex and now is still looking for the low...
Your question has to do more with money management within the parameters of the chart...say I splurge and buy 300 SLV...I know where the first 10% is...so 26 being my number I'm in before 26 5/8. At the first 10% I can take 1/3 profit (with signals at the upper band) and coast the rest of the way since the remaining 2/3rds both have a stop loss from entry based on the profit from the sell of 1/3...Technically...I could sell another 1/3rd now =signals are there and whatever the remainder...a close below 5MA is also a signal... First master picking lows...then master picking tops...tops are more difficult...but many signals will be there.
