12.1.21 RTY1! Gold Oil: On this video I compared three markets, one of them was contracted and the other two were volatile markets. You do not need to trade many markets to be profitable, but you need to avoid markets that are contracted and don't give you a sense of probability that is to your advantage. Contracted markets are more difficult to have a sense of probability unless they have a fairly well established range with enough distance between buyers and sellers, and that's what will allow you to have a better sense of probability because the vertical range is enough for you to make a decent profit. If you have too many markets that you need to focus on, this can be very counterproductive, and you can waste a lot of time in markets that are likely to deliver a decent risk reward. Most people don't really understand why they can trade profitably for a few weeks or a few trades, and that everything turns sour. They know it doesn't feel right, but they haven't conceptualized with the markets doing. It's a very well-known phenomenon that some traders can have very profitable periods of trading, and then a short time later lose almost all their games. It can be so disconcerting that they will go through cycles of changing their charts and their indicators, but they don't realize the broad difference between expanding markets and contracting markets. This can go on for years. Most traders who start trading, losing the markets, and stop trading. Bobby's Homework Assignment: study the last three or four videos and notice the difference between expanded markets and contracted markets. Make a note to yourself that even in parish markets, even prolonged bearish markets there will be periods of time where taking a long position will be very profitable. This is absolutely a fact. One reason this is important is that most traders are all or nothing, and they're either bullish or bearish, and there is no flexibility in their assessment and their ability to be flexible. Don't Be That Way!
