Our stock trading strategies are based on surprisingly simple yet effective no nonsense logic that is uncommon in the stock market. For our short term trading strategy we: Buy at support; we take small, quick profits; and we use the 10/2 rule so that we never slip backwards.

Risk of a Pullback Increasing as Bullishness Grows
The crowd is getting overly bullish here and that makes us a bit nervous. Price could certainly continue to climb from current levels. In fact it is likely. The risk of a quick reversal triggered by profit taking increases with each higher high the market makes here however. We consider a pullback to be a buying opportunity, but keep in mind that bull markets sometimes experience sharp pullbacks that trigger stops and frustrate traders. Our time frames are not long term so a pullback that is too sharp can quickly wipe out profits on the table.
For the reasons stated here it is better to stay conservative until the market pulls back and provides better entries.
