A slice of cake and $1195 please!

Mark Sear • Jan 27, 2021

Back to normal profit levels with $1195 banked before 1030am EST

The morning markets were quite volatile once again.  The European markets were hard to get an entry into and we made one trade for $145 on the European account.  The US markets started off in a nasty way.  Severe volatility as you can see on the video recording below.  One NQ candle of close to 100 points was really quite spectacular.  That sort of movement is always hard to trade and for smaller players (like us and our members) it is much better to be patient and wait for a clear shot at a high probability trade.


That trade comes towards the end of the members live video session and sure enough we made a quick couple of hundred dollars there on two contracts on the YM.  I could have been so much more but the markets turned around very quickly and we were taken out of the trade - taking $200 with us.  So we were two trades in and a quick $145 and $200 - $345.  We weren't quite finished though and so we ended up with two more trades just after the live open session ended and they took us nicely to the days total of $1195 with super trades $500 and $340 respectively. 


So after a few days of not a lot we return again to our super profitable days. 5 and 0 for $1195. 

And after all of this.... its National Chocolate Cake Day so we had a rather enjoyable slice of just that!
