A tough day - but we still make a profit in brutal times

Mark Sear • Aug 31, 2021

Learn to trade in brutal markets.  Tough trading.  But we make as small profit trading the micros.

As regulars here you will know, at Inteligex we don't hide anything thing from you.   Today is no exception.  We had a torrid time of things.  Some nice trades but it wasn't easy trading and it was really important to be able to just be unafraid to take early profits.   Five winners from five trades.  We're happy with that of course, but it wasn't easy.


As to the video - its definitely worth a watch.

The best way to watch it is directly in YouTube - by clicking on the link here .  This will allow you to use the Table Of Contents and then jump to the entry and exits for trades.  That makes it easy to find the trades and see how we will play them on a tough day.

If you watch in YouTube - remember to hit the "subscribe" button and YouTube will always let you know when we post a new video.  It is well worth doing because not all our videos are posted here.
