When you learn to trade futures or learn to trade stocks or even learn to trade commodities you will discover that you have to deal with many different market conditions. For the past couple of days we have had deathly dull markets. Almost across the board.
Today became the third day in a row where the markets were just strangely dead for the opening 30 minutes. That's not to say it did not generate trading opportunities, merely that they were hard opportunities to take. When you trade live, across the three main US markets (ES/NQ/YM) there is always the risk that you miss a trade and today that's what happened. Our live trader missed his shot on a 30 point NQ trade because he was teaching newbies to trade on the YM.
Does it bother us? Not at all. Inteligex is almost an ongoing futures trading course. How? Because in our live trading room you get to watch us trade live, learning to take trades from us and also learning from our mistakes. Mistakes? Yes - we make them. Anyone that tells you they have a perfect track record is talking BS. Sorry but that's the simple truth. Everyone has losers. Now it so happens we have a lot less losers than most (about 2% of trades are losers for us - which you can see live - so no fake news here).
Can you get to the same level of trade consistency? Over 90% winners? Yes you can. Of course it takes some effort. Attend the daily lessons. Attend our training course. Ask questions. Above all be patient and just take your time.
Some people are just plain nuts. They think they can learn to trade in a week. Crazy. What can you learn in a week that can become a profession? Do you think big banks like JP Morgan take kids off the street and make traders in a week? Of course not. They take smart people (and not so smart) and they teach them to trade, usually buddied up with experienced mentors. We do the same thing.
To trade like a professional, you need to be taught to trade by professionals. We have 30 years experience - and the grey hair to prove it.
