Sailing smoothly in the chop on a $550 market open

Mark Sear • Aug 12, 2021

Chop, chop, chop!

It was a choppy day today.  There was a lot of market activity at 8.30am ET when the inflation data was released so when we went into the normal market open some trades had already been taken out of the market further reducing the volume and increasing some of the wild swings.


But the beauty of Inteligex is that it allows you to trade on choppy days.  How so?  Well just stick to looking for Trade Signals and following the 5 Step Process to keep yourself safe.   Even for us choppy days can be a bit stressful so when you start it's best to just observe.  Sit back and watch. 


Look at how accurate the Trade Predictors (cribs) are at showing you where the market is looking to get to.  Watch how the market surges towards them and pulls back to previous levels.  This is how you start to feel the rhythm of the markets.  Don't force it, you will get it, it just takes time.


Make sure you're in the Trading Room as much as you can be and please if you have a question.  Ask, ask, ask!  That's what we're here for.


We want to make you a better Trader!
