increasing volatility
Bearish transitions are usually quick, but
when they are not it implies choppy market

Which strategy is best?
The one that works best for YOU
Forget how good the opportunity
appears
If YOU cant trade it, there is NO
opportunity.
Choose strategies that fit your timeframe
and personality.

"I have been in coaching for approximately three
months and I cannot praise my coach enough. I
have been very impressed by the way that he
teaches. Many times when I have not understood
what he is referring to, he has repeated it in a
number of different ways until he was sure that I
had grasped the concept. Although I have had
mentors in the past, Beacon Learning Group and
their coaching team are the first to teach me ways
to take my trading account from a negative balance
to a positive balance on a consistent basis."

By having a mentor, I gained confidence quickly
because I did not feel alone any more. I have had
someone working with me who has the experience
and the knowledge to guide me in the right
direction. The coaching process helped me to gain
confidence and overcome the fear of losing.
