VIX hits 30 - volatility explosion - 2nd Dec 2021

Mark Sear • Dec 02, 2021

4th day of nasty volatility - 4th day of profits

Those of you who watch our free YouTube broadcasts will know we have been telling inexperienced traders to sit it out this week.  Just watch.  There is no shame in not swimming in shark infested waters.  In fact it is dumb.  We know why people want to trade.  We know how seductive those big, 50 point NQ candles can be - I mean who doesn't want $1000 of profit for catching one?  The problem is (and back in the day we surfed big time in Australia) for every hot wave you catch you get dumped at least twice.  Now thats great in 20c weather when you're on board shorts and the best surfing in the world but not when you are losing money trading.  It is just plain ugly.


Let's be clear this week had been brutal.  Even for 30 year veterans like us it's been tough.  But we have seen it all before any times.  Thats why we trade live daily and share our experience with members - live.  In todays video you see us make 4 trades, all winners but all smaller traders.  Why?  because we know when to be patient.  When to hit enter.  And when to hit BANK. 


Why not learn to trade with professionals?  Watch and learn every day.  It's not easy, but trading is not easy.  Run like the wind if anyone says it is.  Today ... you see us deal with the Vix over 30.  Make some money.  And quit whilst ahead.
