Hey friend,
Time to see how markets have been moving.
The Daily Direction
Note: Crude oil prices jumped yesterday after Saudi Arabia and Russia extended supply cuts. This weighed on markets, with all indexes closing lower. The short and medium-term directions of the Dow Jones and the Russell 2000 flipped downward.
The Daily Nugget
The ability to stick to a strategy is what separates the pros from the amateurs.
Amateurs run into a few losing trades, lose faith, and quickly abandon their strategy in favor of the next shiny object.
They never stick around long enough to build the foundations of long-term success – which is why most of them lose money trading.
The pros, on the other hand, know how to stick with a strategy.
They understand its edge, and they know losses are just part of the game. When they hit a losing streak, they tighten their stop losses and keep going.
They may decide to change the strategy later on – but only after enough time has passed, or if market conditions have changed.
But they know that sticking to a strategy is what allows them to build the foundation of a winning account.
Remember, pros win – amateurs lose.
If you want to win like a pro – act like one. And that starts with being able to stick with a strategy.
