Caroling or trading? We choose trading and make $700+ in 60 minutes - 20 Dec 2021

Mark Sear • Dec 20, 2021

From fat finger loser to $700+ winner in 2 trades, thats the life of a trader

Another weird and volatile day.  It was actually Go Caroling Day (yup) but we went trading instead.  We started off by avoiding the market as it was quite brutal. 


We then managed to take a trade by accident.  I mean, come on.  A fat finger at aged 57???  Well it happens and we cut it right away.  From then on we spent the main session just showing different techniques.


The session ended and then, an awesome trade presented itself and we simply had to take it, so we went live on YouTube with one of our instant broadcasts and made the trade.  We start the video with this trade, it was a super trade and took us to $715 profit for the day.


And that was the day that was.  One hour and we were done.  One more trading day then a nice break.  Let's hope its a good one.
