It's don't cry over spilt milk day 2021

Truly.  It's don't cry over spilt milk day 2021.  What a cool day!  It is also a great metaphor for trading.  We say it all the time to traders - experienced traders and newbie traders.  If you miss a trade, it's not bid deal.  Likewise a small loser - its no big deal.  We have an interesting day today if not exactly exciting. 


This learn to trade video starts by talking you through how we view a day.  How we decide what our bias is for the day - if we have a bias.   You will see how we view the market structure and also see how we find our key support and resistance numbers.  It's about 5 minutes work, but can help you really make light work of finding major turning points.  Then .. you're in with a nice trade. 


Today we didn't reach any of the major numbers in our live trading session but we did afterwards.  We still manage to take a nice $200 trade in the live trading rom, but we really didn't get many opportunities.  Well.  One opportunity to be exact.  The trade took a while to turn, but turn it did and then ... $200 banked. 


In the subsequent session we made a long running trade for $2k (you can see it in our free trading room) but we don't count that for our track record.

Not a bad tays trading, but the best part for us?  The success of our members.  And today we had multiple successes, which is just great for them and for us.  Here are a couple of their comments - you can of course see the rest in our free live trading room.
