Consider all the variables and elements in play floating around in your game clock trade timeframe and establish a reasonable way to strike that thing. It can't run forever in every direction. Watch it move and tire. The market has a heartbeat and personality mood Does that help you a bit If someone truly knew the future, they certainly wouldn't tell you directly where you can profit. It's a dog eat dog world
Look at today's market chart... You'll usually see one main large movement, maybe two. That's what you have to wait and plan and strike for. Ignore the minor small gyrations palipitations. But to capture that, you have to first establish a reasonable logical framework. The variables and elements drawing up the general future. You don't need to know the exact future...only the semi future, to succeed in capturing your catch
lol, reading chart is stupid in this war. wall of worries i used often now came true. cheetos also impose $25 tariff on small parcels under $80 or 30% over $80. that’s lot of amazon (down 6% ah) and shopify orders, the e-commerce sector will go down hard. nfp number will show high unemployment tomorrow. then every country will hit back with its own tariff from china to eu. no way that can and mex can negotiate their way out of impending bombshell, once they start to hit back, prices in retail will jump 10% as early as before the 100 days. rty already touched at bear market mark yesterday and opened under bear market now. nq will be be next, now is down -16.8% from the high. i saw a 2 bed condo in orlando downtown tower is being auctioned 50% off or more, starting bid at $50k, zillow shows last traded at $420k, guess the owner couldn’t afford 3-4k a month mortgage.
So what's the alternative? These are all solid analysis, but they're also truisms that most of us are already aware of. So then what do you suggest we do with that knowledge?
few things we learned trading futures is that they are highly levered. instead, switching to trade non leverage and have a beefy balance for 20% max drawdown scenario. 0dte 9or weekly short strangle, we can still make money as long as we don’t lose the principal. and we can trade foreign equity indexes.
Well, it's not for me to tell anyone how or what to trade, but I simply cannot concentrate when I multi-task. Hence I have to stick to trading 1 instrument at a time. Kudos to those who are able to spread themselves out thin though.
