Where the Market’s Going and How We’ve Been Playing It

by | Aug 27, 2015

The market has been more volatile than we’ve seen in awhile. We had some of the biggest down days of the year followed by a nice bounce.

Does this mean we are about to enter a bear market? No.

Does this mean the bull market will continue? No.

Simply put, no one really no knows where the market is heading. You can make predictions all day OR you can just play the volatility. We choose the latter.

Earlier this week, I discussed how the volatility of the market allowed me to have one of my greatest profit days all year.

I wanted to make a video to take a closer look at some of the trades so that everyone can get a better idea of how we are approaching things.

These are crazy times in the market. Remember to protect your capital and have a game plan. If you don’t fully know why you are placing a trade, avoid it – you don’t have to trade.

Without further ado, here is the video going over some of my recent trades. Feel free to leave a comment below!
