God's Knuckles

Last night as I was returning a saucer to its storage area, God knuckled on top of my head with a stainless table edge. He told me what I was not able to see though so obvious. He bopped my head and told me that the reason I have ben losing for the past 4 years in my live account is because i was unable to see the duck for what the duck is and lost for the past 2 years in my prop firm challenges because I was unable to see the duck for what it is. And that is I was unable to see a declining market and kept trading the long strategy. I need to trade the long market long and trade the short market short. This is the turning point. If the market looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, swims like a duck, quacks like a duck .. then the market is probably in decline. And if the market looks like it is moving up then it is probably moving up.
