Dear trader,
My younger child hasn’t found his sport yet. He loves football, but he’s 10 and 55 pounds… that’s a nope. He loves basketball too, but he’s a touch small. He always hated soccer. He thought soccer was boring.
But I think the real reason he didn’t like it was because it’s his older brother’s favorite sport. Mark’s always trying to get him to play with him. Mostly, Mark pushes him to “get in net” and play goalie while he launches kicks at him with a mini soccer ball.
Frankly, I get why he didn’t like it.
Well, one of his friends’ moms texted Lauren and asked if I’d help coach if she put a team together. I know nothing about soccer, but I figured I could wing it by asking Mark questions and getting drills from him.
So we got to the first game, and no one wanted to play goalie. Most kids have the same combination of wanting to score and being afraid of the ball. Tino included.
Well, he’s my kid, and I show reverse favoritism when I coach, so I looked at him and said, “Go get a bib and get in the goal.”
The game started, and he came to two realizations:
- Having his older brother launch balls at him upstairs was much scarier than fielding kicks from 10-year-olds.
- He was pretty good, thanks to all that practice with Mark.
Next thing I know, he’d played the whole game back there, and we ended up winning 1-0!
Trading, like sports, has a lot of types you can get into: Elliott Waves, Fibonacci, pitchforks, momentum, volatility trading, you name it.
Try everything, because you never know what’s going to work. And more importantly, with every strategy you try, you better yourself.
Every failed attempt leads to the eventual winner. And like a champion, improving whatever you find makes you successful.
I’ve been running a flow trading strategy for three years.
In that time, I’ve constantly worked to upgrade it. Last week, I made my biggest upgrade yet when I launched The Mine.
It’s a flow scanner that weeds out the trades I never want to see and, better yet, tells me what vehicle to use to execute the trade (should I choose to make one).
All with the goal of making more money. I’m hosting a weeklong event where I’ll walk through how I do the trades and how I use The Mine, share my entire trade process (including a few trade ideas), and lay out a set of trading rules every trader should follow.
Your only option,
Mark Sebastian
