We make $600 in the first hour and don't celebrate.

$600 live in the first hour, but our thoughts are elsewhere

It was another good days trading in the first hour.  $600 on the day in 3 trades by 1030am EST.  Quite simple when trading with the Inteligex software but again an odd start to the day as you will see in the video below.  That said, it was followed by high probability trades working exactly as expected so all in all a nice day.  The trading videos are split into three parts today as we still had an open trade at the end of the live session, but it is important to show all results on here.

The rest of this week is likely to be a bit jumpy as we approach expiry.  It can get choppy.  Rollover day for the INDICES is Thursday so look to roll into the March INDEX contracts by Friday's close.


For the record today takes us to 26 consecutive days of profits in excess of $400 per day and no losing days.  We're happy with that, but overall the day was tinged with sadness.

Why?  Because today the world said goodbye to US test pilot Chuck Yeager, the first person to break the sound barrier, who has died aged 97.  Yeager went into the history books after his flight in the Bell X-1 experimental rocket plane in 1947.  After that he broke several other speed and altitude records, helping to pave the way for the US space programme.


"An incredible life well lived, America's greatest Pilot, & a legacy of strength, adventure, & patriotism will be remembered forever" 


And now you have watched those, how abut you check out the great Chuck Yeager.  What an amazing man.
