December 2016 Pre-trade Analysis

Tuesday December 6th 4:23 PM Posted in: Daily Blog

December may prove to be a bit challenging members to navigate as the month under-performs compared to averages for the Core Strategy. Specifically, December shows a lower winning history and average return, however, keen-eyed traders will note that these metrics are concentrated in target profits beyond 40%. This suggests taking a more frugal approach for the month: Focus on quick profits in the 30% - 40% range instead of the broader range outlined in our target guidelines.
