One of the biggest single day drops in the markets we’ve seen in a while.

Good to see some volatility coming back into the markets.

Of course, it caught some of our positions, but that’s part and parcel of trading.

After that immense drop in US, you should have exited or scaled out of your long positions.

As noted in our community, record your observations from this event and learn from it, then move on.

Move on to focus on finding the next opportunity, and the next opportunity, and the next opportunity…

It’s so important to be part of a community, to support you and remind you of what you should be doing.

The value is less apparent during peaceful markets, but it becomes very clear during challenging times.

And you’ll be glad for it.
