U.S. Looking to Restart 'Project Freedom' to Unblock Strait of Hormuz, according to the U.S. Officials

Yeah, slow it down for us.......we're still trying to figure out the whole "zed" thing over here on this side of the pond.

Perfect response to someone who hasn’t got the integrity to log on or make an account .

Well done you ; and polite with it .

Haha

good my friend

A super fast squawk is your best friend

Well, I have no idea on your account size (or what you are trading), but if trading mini contracts, yeah, it can add up quickly. Micro contracts, on the other hand, are much easier to size. If you are trading options on the micros, even easier.

Best of luck to you though....hang in there. Or, better yet, just wait a few weeks for this all to blow over..............at least until the next Trump-induced market shakeup.

If using options, and your max loss = 1-2% and your timing is 30-45 days out, then intra-day volatility won't be as large a factor (and your mental state will be a lot better for it). I don't do that. I scalp futures.....it's quite stressful and I would NOT recommend it to anyone....but there's money to be made (if you have the liquidity to sustain sizable losses on the way to profits).

To be honest though, if you were to cherry pick any given date and say "if I had just bought x# equity future(s) contract(s) on that day and stayed long, how would that have performed vs. my trading?", I suspect the VAST majority of people would have to answer: the "long only" strategy would be better than I am doing....and much less stressful. But, like most things in life; entry timing is key.

Not a word about China's position and actions, all of them clearly aimed to sabotage US life all over for no reason but finding a scapegoat to its problems. Remember China is Iran's most important customer. All this frenzy about using Iran and other kind of sabotages with the only aim to punish the US has to stop since China's not going to get anything with it. If China does not want anything to do with the US, leave them alone. They're far enough from each other so that their interest do not collide. US has already enough problems on its own soil.
