Repost From 2017 – Trading the Miners on a Small Account – June Full Month Trading Recap for the Miners

A small account should not be an obstacle to believing in yourself trading well. For this website, I’ve geared my trading to the small account mindset, and trying to keep daytrading to a minimum. You would need a margin account to do these trades because of selling short. Again trying to give all types of possibilities, even though FOR MOST PEOPLE (not everyone), a margin acct is a bad idea. There are 7 trades in the miner ETFs for June (6 plus an add on), and not one is a daytrade. They are all profitable trades. They all would fit in well for a smaller account.  All of these trade setups were discussed beforehand, with time frame/general date and price point.

These trade setups were not about bko/momentum types. The setups are about support/resistance types. I have a much different way of doing markets, as I mainly buy below support, yes below, and sell/short above resistance, yes above. It’s completely geared toward doing the opposite at where/when I believe are going to be turning points – the times/places where the weak hands will always screw themselves up. And to point out again, this website requires a lot of time to run, and my focus is often elsewhere when it should be on markets – thus my entries and my exits have not been great, but the results are still pretty good (again – all profitable). The timing is easily correctable with a renewed focus back on full time trading.

Trader Scott has been involved with markets for over twenty years. Initially he was an individual floor trader and member of the Midwest Stock Exchange, which then led to a much better opportunity at the Chicago Board Options Exchange. By his early 30’s, he had become very successful in markets, but a health situation caused him to back away from the grind of being a full time floor trader. During this time away from markets, Scott was completely focused on educating himself about true overall health and natural healing which remains a passion to this day. Scott returned to markets over fifteen years ago where he continues as an independent trader.
