  1. Status of the Market and Trade Focus: Short- versus Long-Term Trading
Why is currently long-term positioning trading more difficult and what to do as a trader?
Let us check the S&P 500 as the core market index for stocks on a weekly chart and it shows that the US-stock-markets are in a Purple Zone (time period of directional ambiguity) since the end of January. So far we had no close of a candle outside the price containment area set in the week of December 15, 2014. Yes, we pointed a new high, but closed the week right inside the price containment area.

SPY 2015
What to do?
Rather trade shorter-term!
Swing Trades: Expect to be in the trade 1-5 days
From daily charts, focus on stocks that make an independent move (check your NLT Correlation Coefficient, a NLT Top-Line lower study ). By the current cyclic nature of the market, for every swing trade you start, prepare to apply trade adjustment methods rather than taking stops. Here is a calculation example what this will do to your trading. The following example is calculated on a 60% win rate and compares methods of reducing the risk to half and eliminating the risk by applying trade adjustment methods, we teach in our mentorships.
