#DOW20K, possible trade wars, tax on imported Mexican goods, “Muslim Ban” and I can go on and on. 
Shenanigans of just one week.  What does this week have in store for us?  I don’t know; I hardly ever know. 

I know the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) since hitting that psychological level of 20,000 ---going as high as 20, 125.58--- has pulled back some.

Find the Trend and Follow the Trend (trade in a manner consistent with the trend)

​Today’s blog is short, straightforward and to the point. Your trade should always follow the trend.  Stop fighting the trend.  Meaning, if a stock is running up (you may want to wait for a pullback to long); if a stock is trending down (you may want to wait for a pop to short). 
Fighting the trend is trading in a manner that is in direct conflict to the trend.  I almost feel if we sat down and paid attention to our losing trades; more often than not; we were/are fighting that trend.  
 
Understandably; there are trends within trends and the trend you pay attention to; should have some correlation to the time frame you’re the most comfortable trading.  For example; if you’re a longer term trader; you might find comfort paying attention to the weekly, monthly, maybe even quarterly trend, etc. 
 
Look at some real time examples below.

When I worked in the social service field as a clinician; the first point of contact with a potential client started with an assessment or an intake.   Assessments varied in form from agency to agency but the overall premise was the same.  That is; it was a tool used to gather information about a potential client.  Questions on the ‘assessment form’ encompassed among other things a client’s medical, educational, occupational and psychiatric history.  Why was this information important to gather as a clinician?  As the form suggests, its purpose was to assess the client and/or make an assessment.  Assessment, defined by Oxford Dictionary, means “the evaluation or estimation of the nature, quality, or ability of someone or something”
