So why is trading so hard? <!--more-->\n<br><br>\nIn my opinion, it&#8217;s because of the steadiness of the selling pressure. Stocks aren&#8217;t alternating between dropping and popping and posting losses over time. They aren&#8217;t dropping 3-4 days and then rallying 2-3 days and posting losses overall. Instead they are just relentlessly selling off. \n<br><br>\nThis means if you want to exit a position and are waiting for a bounce, you end up taking a big loss because there haven&#8217;t been any bounces. Or if you&#8217;re waiting for a bounce to go short, you never got an entry because there have been almost no back-to-back up days. Many stocks have literally dropped 10 of 12 days and haven&#8217;t posted consecutive up days in several weeks. Below is a list of stocks that have given traders no second chances. \n<br><br>\nI talk about recognizing the market&#8217;s personality and making adjustments in my <a href=\"https:\/\/jason-leavitt-masterclass-in-trading.teachable.com\/p\/jason-leavitt-s-masterclass-in-trading\"><strong>masterclass<\/strong><\/a>.
