Forced to change

Years ago, I faced a significant challenge.

One unlike anything most people ever face.

At the time, I had to change my entire trading style for reasons I won't go into here.

This was a challenge of epic proportions because everything was on the line.

I had a wife, two boys and a mortgage, car payments… all the stuff that can weigh on you.

In the years leading up to this challenge, I had every trading tool imaginable… accounts with all the major brokers, allocation on all the hot IPO deals, trading lines direct to the broker trading desks, plus millions in capital to trade with, and I could do hundreds of trades in a day.

Then I had none of that.

I was forced to change my trading style… and… I HAD to make it work.

What I discovered changed the way I would trade forever.

My solution was to go from high frequency, low profit trades to low frequency high profit trades.

It was a gamble. It was something new, brand new to me. Something I wasn't entirely comfortable with yet.

But I knew I HAD to stretch myself because if I didn't, I wouldn't survive.

I changed my strategies, and everything worked out. Here I am, years later, and I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd just taken my ball and gone home.

I could never have forgiven myself…

But history has a way of repeating itself.

This year I faced another trading situation where I was forced to adapt.

The reason was because the bull market was ending. Stocks were falling hard. The they would bounce higher… then lower.

In other words, I was dealing with extreme volatility and needed a way to get an edge.

What I need was a way to trade in both directions at the same time.

Volatility is only getting more intense.

And this "trading both ways at the same time" strategy is perfect for what is happening now.
