Just finished up a great live class today and realized just how hard it is to try and day trade and teach at the same time. Its a very careful balance and one of the ways that I devised my currently risk management structure when I day trade eminis on my own. One of the themes from today was identifying momentum and learning when to be aggressive. It is that whole idea of using a Congressive day trading system where you adapt to the momentum of […]

Today was one of those days that was exceptional for trading, not only because we could have made done well, but also because there were very important lessons which each and every single movement. There were so many opportunities to be able to take a graceful exit and learning the art of being able to exit a trade early is one of the things that is vital to trading.

May 4th Recap: Bundas & 20 Points ($10,000 Available)
That is the view from my temporary office as I write this recap. I am in a small town in southern Brazil called Florianopolis that is known for gorgeous beaches and well, gorgeous woman. You didn’t think I was coming here just for the beach did you? Today was the kind of day that makes traders take weeks off. I left a lot on the table but it didn’t matter because I was still able to make close to 20 points. For […]
May 1st Recap: There Were No Opportunities Today
I made a million bucks today, again! Yep. That is the common adage in the day trading industry, picking and choosing the best days in order to look very good in the eyes of newbies. Well guess what, we didn’t have any “classic opportunities” on May 1st and I am more than willing to admit it. I didn’t make a million bucks, I didn’t lost anything, I sat in front of the computer and wished the rain would stop. It was as boring as […]

We haven’t explored much […]

As I am writing this post, I just informed Brice that quote “Pascua” is spelled with u-a at the end and not a-u, Pascua is Spanish for Easter.

Follow Brice at twitter: @BriceinColombia Follow […]

This week started off great especially since I ended the day with a view that you see above, it seems like every day I remind myself what a beautiful city Rio de Janeiro is.
