The objective of the trader who wishes to profit from every market condition is to adhere to a directional price movement while taking advantage of the possible corrections or breakouts. However, profiting from a trend or price thrust is far more difficult than most participants admit. Especially for a neophyte, it's easy to fall under the spell of a fast price movement. A large Marubozu candle formation, for example, awakens the greed of potential gains and clouds any risk-control measures. But an astute trader, looking for the path of least resistance at any given time, will not be lured by the fast price action and will try to act contrary to the crowd.
