The following social media Q&A shares an incredibly important realisation by this trader. Perhaps a realisation that will also help you with your journey. And my reply: I’ve focused a LOT on the market open in my articles over the last two years. Not because it’s better. But simply because that’s where my own trading…
Let’s start with the daily chart at the time of market open. Because it shows structure that has me VERY interested in trading to the LONG side. Let’s drop to the 1 minute trading timeframe chart, just three minutes after the open. Happy trading, Lance Beggs
