Disaster trading session - when it all goes wrong

A day for Murphys Law

Murphy's law is an adage or epigram that is typically stated as: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong". 

Todays trading room was a disaster.  Not from a trading perspective - we did OK.  But from a logistics point of view a total an unmitigated disaster.  First.  The internet failed (and we have 2 connections).  Then the trading delay meant we missed the best trade f the day - a stonking 25 point winner on the NQ.  Thankfully most of our members got the trade as the signal was spot on!  After the initial nightmare the rest of the session was good though.   We nailed a $305 profit.  Then came the final disaster, we'd forgotten to record the session.


This is life as a trader.  Stuff happens.  It is how you handle it that counts.  We handled it OK today.  When you learn to trade its really important to select an organisation that will show you everything.  Not just edited highlights and not just only their "wonder" moments.  We don't do fake trading like many.  We aren't as slick in our presentations as others.  We are just traders.  Live trading Inteligex daily.
