Have we lost our touch? Two days of nothing and then this ....

Mark Sear • Sep 23, 2021

Have you lost your trading mojo?  Have we lost OUR trading mojo?  Will it return?

OK so I admit it.  I am not good when I don't get served up nice trades.  And for two days I haven't been given any signal in the first 30 minutes or so of trading.  Plenty of them after the first 30 minutes but none early on. 


A normal person of course reacts by just saying that it isn't an issue and to just be patient.  Of course Inteligex makes being a patient trader easy.   But when you want to show people how to trade, and no trading signals appear it is kind of frustrating.  "Such is life - get over it" you may well say, but at Inteligex we don't hide anything.  There WILL be tough times trading and for us two days with no trades in our live trading room is the epitome of tough.


Not only that - but we are trying to help save the planet by planting a tree for every trade signalled in the live trading room.  Our trees for trades total was 112 trees in September before today.  A total that had not moved for two days.


What does it feel like to be in a slump?  Terrible.  The worst.  The absolute pits. (yes, I know ... two days isn't a slump, but it feels like it).  Watch the video and see how we feel before the days trading ... and how we feel after it.


Spoiler Alert, we're back to our winning ways, a $600 day!
