Somedays, nothing's working with your trades.
You buy a call… the market moves up a little, but your call option stays breakeven.
Then, the market turns down and your call loses 50% in an hour.
Makes you want to quit… or pull back on trading.
Stick with it.
First --- you need to know what market environment you're in plus what the stock you're trading is doing within the broader market.
When the stock market keeps hitting multiple highs but most stocks are declining or at least not going higher with it…
You have to be even pickier with the stocks you choose to trade… much less the underlying options.
And this has happened a lot in recent years.
Take for example…
December 2023 --- when the market hit a new high…
80-90% of stocks of the broader indices trended with it. New bull market ignited!
Between the end of March to early April of 2024, only about 65% stocks moved with it.
And less than 3 months later, only 40-45% stocks moved with the market.
As the S&P 500 went higher and higher, we see these stocks going lower and lower.
These types of markets you want to trade less and make sure you're sizing down more.
Not understanding these dynamics has led thousands of traders into making the wrong trading decisions…and losses…
Even when their assessments of the market are logically correct.
Now, if this sounds any familiar to you…
There is a simple, yet powerful way around it.
And that's exactly what I'm going to share with you in my next email…
From the second reason why the market could be going against you…
To how you can identify these situations right off the bat while making the most informed trading decisions, too.
Do not miss it.
