It is important that you follow the guidelines. BUY and SELL @THE PRICE IN THE BOX and remain IN the market when the price is above BUY and OUT when the price is below SELL.

I do not recommend you short markets or use inverse exchange traded funds unless you are a sophisticated investor experienced with these strategies.

The difference between IN and OUT entry or exit is an attempt to prevent being whipsawed and the realization that there is never a guaranteed entry or exit point

Brokerage firms idea of managed money is a one size fits all cookie cutter
approach that generates a revenue stream from Main Street to Wall Street.
If you are buying and selling individual bonds in the secondary market you
would be shocked at the true cost. Your finances are personal; your portfolio
should be also. We can build a diversified portfolio using exchange traded funds
that reflects your situation and needs with the realization that managed money
means that there are times to be IN the market and times to be OUT of the market.

Important Notes to remember

I recommend you move to the sidelines during periods of high volatility. Do not use market or stop orders.
