Bearish market is changing the rules

It seems like all trading rules are out of control in this bearish market. One of the Greatest investors of all time Warren Buffett said "be greedy when others are fearful; and be fearful when others are Greedy" this rings true in the mind. However Buffer was an investor & not a traders. the rules differ or both games.

THIS IS ONE OF MY BEST & MOST PROFITABLE trades.
short term (W) is in correction while longterm (M) still technically in uptrend. price comes into the DZ which is the HL (Higher Low) of the
longterm (M) chart. provide low risk entry & high profit.
It seems in this market nothing hold true. As the price broke through the DZ. I followed my rules and took the Loss.
If there is a lesson to carry. the DZ was tested (in the dark square) this basically weakens the
DZ. One of my first trading teacher compared a DZ to a door. the more you knock on the door the more likely it will break down. This DZ door has been knocked before. it broke & the door opened. A better trade enhancer would of been a fresh untested DZ
