Hey guys,
We are in the middle of our Trading Contest tonight. I'd like to highlight some of the traders' qualities that actiually allowed our leaders to pesevere in the fast-changing markets.
So for those who chose to trade indicies, the week didn't start easy. Wat to do, huh? There are only a few days to trades, so you have to take every opportunity to get ahead of others.
Let's see how the trader
u3702204 did that on Monday.
Obviously, a ranging day on the open with the 50% chance of a breeakout to the either side (1). Clearly our trader is short-biased, so he's trying to find the best spot to take a short trade (2). The reward pays the risk, but, let me tell you something. Do you see that big red short from the top of the range that actually brought the trader most of their $1500 in profits? That would never have happened, had the trader not cut his losses.
Look at the first short of his day. Look at the long he took then. Very strict on his stops. And I insist, that's what allows you to
make your profits flow, as they say.
After a successful short, he was trying to build upon success, without noticing that the market came back into the Globex range. That's why his next two trades were unsuccessful (3).
Still a great result, congrats!
So this trader is now our indicies leader. Things can change any time, so hold tight
u3702204 !
P.S. Just reminding again to all our traders. Be careful with the volatile markets, always use a stop loss and try to let your profitable trades grow as much as you can.
Good luck all!
