@Trader_Dante I've traded through the 2000 dotcom crash, 9/11, Lehman, Covid crash, etc but that specific moment when crude went negative was the weirdest. Even worse, most platforms didn't quote the negative prices. Traders didn't even know what was really happenning.

The trouble with spending hours on end at a desk, staring at the markets, is that it can lead you to perform actions out of boredom that you don't actually intend to do.

If you want to trade for a living or have an extra trading income to accumulate with your job, you need an edge. This may sound a bit harsh, but if you trade without a proven trading edge, your sole purpose in the markets is to create liquidity for good traders to sell into.

@BlogJulianKomar Perhaps the right way to put it, To develop yourself as a trader, you need structured practice. The structure comes from books, courses, mentoring but has to be carved with the trader’s teeth in the markets. Journaling, analysis and introspection will be tools for the ride.

One of the biggest advantages of intraday trading is the elimination of overnight risk. You’ll never get caught in these nasty gaps. It’s been a while since we got one of this magnitude but there are times when they’re rather frequent.
