Frustrated By Trading?


The Dynamic Wealth Report

The recent market volatility has been a curse to some… and a blessing to others.

Investors have seen a big hit to their portfolios over the last few weeks.  Just a month ago they were riding a wave of upward momentum in the markets.

But many were ignoring the warning signs of a large correction…

Technicals and fundamentals were way out of whack.  Yet investors seemed convinced the markets were on a one-way trip to the all-time highs.

Much to their dismay, they’re now realizing just how fragile the current market environment is…

But investors aren’t the only ones.  Many short-term traders are having a tough time in the recent action as well.  Buying the intraday dip worked for months on end.  But recently this setup is getting crushed.

With all the recent volatility, many traders and investors are left scratching their heads.

Is there any way to make money is this kind of market?

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?

Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout.  And the timing for this has never been better.

You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that sends penny stock prices through the roof.

We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time flat.

You bet.  Some traders are gobbling up this volatility.  They love the big moves… the bigger the moves, the bigger the profits.

What’s the difference between them and someone watching their account dwindle with each passing day?

You may think they have some great trading secret nobody else knows…

Well, in a way you’re right.  They do have a secret others don’t realize.  But it’s not what you think.

They don’t have some special indicator promising them huge profits.  They don’t have access to secret knowledge about certain stocks.

So what is it?  How are some making money while others are losing their shirts?

It comes down to your attitude about the markets…

More specifically, it has to do with being open to changes in market conditions.  This is the secret others don’t realize.  The best traders have the ability to adapt to different market conditions.  And one thing is for certain…

Market conditions have changed dramatically.

It wasn’t long ago the market was an unstoppable upward force.  Buy the pullback and sit back and relax.  But those days are over…

No longer can you expect the market to trudge higher day after day.  No longer can you expect to buy the intraday pullback and walk away with a fist-full of profits.

But what you can expect is markets to be volatile.

They can turn on a dime and run hundreds of points.  You just have to be there to catch those turns.  And of course, control your downside risk when you do it.

How can you catch these turns?  One way is to use support and resistance zones.  (I’ve talked about these in past articles.)  Control your losses when you’re wrong.  Let your profits run as far as possible and sell when the markets tell you to.

You see, the markets are constantly changing…

And this means you have to be flexible.  You have to be willing to adjust your trading style.  If you don’t, you’ll get left in the dust.

The challenge of course is being able to realize when market conditions change.  And what adjustments to make…

And that’s where experience comes in.  I won’t kid you by saying you can figure it out with a couple days of practice.  It takes commitment to your craft.

Here’s the bottom line…

Don’t expect market conditions to conform to your trading style.  Be open to changes in market conditions.  Adjust your trading or investing style to fall in line with changing market conditions.

You have to be able to “roll with the punches”…

If you’re unwilling to change, you may be trading a trend following system in a market that’s not trending.  Or maybe you’re trading a breakout strategy in markets where breakouts don’t perform well.

It’s just like life… the ones willing to adapt are the ones who survive.

Commodity Watch 

• Copper (Under $3.10 a pound)

The industrial metal is reacting to recent news out of China.  Manu-facturing activity dropped in May while property sales were down in a number of important cities.  Manufacturing is still expanding but looks to be slowing.  Copper prices have fallen from the recent highs of $3.60 a pound.
