I am not a former Wall Street banker…
I do not have a PhD in Mathematics…
I don’t have some “secret cheat code“…
I am just a guy who understands a tiny bit about finance, investments and how quickly a market can move against (which it often does).

📉 #Trading in a nutshell.
Tuesday: Stopped out on a #FTSE short
Today: Market drops exactly to my target
Analysis? Spot on
Timing? Terrible
I guessed the turn instead of waiting for the confirmation candle. Expensive lesson
