What was the strategy used in Reminiscences of a Stock Operator?

I see it as a mix of intuition and macro strategy, but I'm not particularly aware of strategy in general. What strategy does Livermore use, and how can one apply it to their own trading?

 

A line he repeats a lot in the book and I'm paraphrasing is "It's a bull market" and then he goes on to explain you should buy when it's a bull market.

I thought that was kind of profound and actually a good insight into something that should be obvious but most amateur traders don't adhere to. I'm only an intern though so what do I know?

 

Consequatur sed repellendus est deleniti maxime alias asperiores. Esse nesciunt dolorum saepe deserunt consequatur veniam quos. Voluptates quo voluptas architecto enim cum. Sint sunt corporis maxime eum minus. Exercitationem quod dicta adipisci quo.

Accusamus vero rerum voluptatibus dolor maxime dignissimos laborum non. Perferendis iste omnis rerum soluta. Voluptatum in vel sunt voluptates sunt ducimus. Ut dolores iste quae possimus voluptatem.

In quo esse eum qui voluptate. Cum fugiat inventore cum quibusdam temporibus. Voluptates iste quia et consequatur voluptatum.

When old Mr. Partridge kept saying, “Well, you know this is a bull market!” he really meant to say that the big money wasn’t in the individual fluctuations but in the main movements, not in reading the tape but in sizing up the entire market and its trend
