Should you buy/sell outside the bounds of the Ctabs commentary?
In the event that you missed out on a "Ctabs buy", you can still enter into a long position and from there follow the Ctabs action commentary. However, it is likely that you will have missed some opportunity because you are buying into a stock that has already experienced a price rise beyond the "Ctabs buy". A counter-argument to the previous sentence is that the stock is in a longer-term bull pattern, in which case hindsight will tell you that it was perfectly fine to buy the stock after it had risen from the Ctabs "buy" point.
The less guessing way is to follow the Ctabs action commentary as closely as possible. By doing so, not only is your trading action following the machine/program trading which is free of emotional and psychological impact but that you are fully leveraging the Ctabs candlestick technical analysis approach.
If you find yourself "off cycle" to Ctabs, you could just patiently wait for a future Ctabs "buy" action commentary. In the meantime, you can look at other stocks.
