Educator Highlights
“Define the risk for each trade and keep the risk small. This is the only thing we can control. Profits will take care of themselves.” John Hoagland, TopstepTrader
“As a rule, I don't follow February levels "inside ranges" very often. The general reason being that there is too much noise inside a range. So, you really have to rely on the "footprints" you find inside a range.” John Bougearel, Structural Logic
“I’m always thinking about losing money as opposed to making money. Don’t focus on making money, focus on protecting what you have.” Paul Tudor Jones
“Grains: The markets been down hard, but it’s a big giant trading range for us.” Wally Labuz, TST Farm Report
“Confidence and patience are two biggies. If you are finding staying positive a challenge while trading, perhaps you should have a coach/mentor participate alongside you so they can observe your stress reactivity to putting on a trade. Modulating your stress reactivity to trading may be just what the doctor ordered. It is hard to objectively observe that on your own, so that is where a coach or mentor can be very helpful” John Bougearel, Structural Logic
Eddie's Note
Equities are still on a Bull move, but it has been stymied with more of a cautious rally than a ‘blind-blitz’ rally. Sellers are popping in randomly to hold the Bull down.
Gold futures extended losses into nine consecutive sessions, sending Gold to the lowest level since the start of February.
Crude Oil sellers have dominated the Wednesday and Thursday trade. Credit for OPEC is just about out the window. With API having a 11.8M build and the following day EIA had a 8.2M build, this just about set the table for the large fallout in Crude Oil.
Remember: Don't worry about the money. Worry about the wins and loses.
