It happening again. Rapid rises, talking heads losing their mind "It's crashing Up!" as the markets whipsaw in a continued trend.  Along with the UK getting "Trussed Up", Elon getting his Tweet on and trading halted on the same day, its all fun and games until the music stops.  So, how do you navigate these times? Well, lets discuss in this weeks Rebel Traders Podcast.

Every trader has done this at some stage. Try, and curve fit a strategy that would have won last week to make it work this week. Only for it to fail and do the same again next week.  Stop trying to figure it out as you go along and create a robust process that allows you to trade daily. With so much noise in the markets, you need a way to filter it all out and work with a process and a plan...

It occurs to us that when market participants stop talking and forecasting then that’s when something interesting is going to happen.

How do you trade that?   Well, in this weeks "Messed Up Podcast", Sean breaks it down in detail.

Ever ran through the highlands of Scotland in freezing cold weather wearing nothing but a kilt? It can be surprisingly liberating (No blue ribbons though!)  What about only trading for 30 minutes a day and then getting on with your life while the markets put money in your pocket?  Sounds great right? For many trades it seems an impossible dream... But not if you know what your doing and design your trading around your life instead of cramming life around your trading. Yeah, thats...
