How well do you actually know yourself as a trader? Take 8–10 minutes to complete the VTP Trader Performance Audit across Markets, Method, Money and Myself — and find out. Take the VTP Trader Performance Audit
Hello Traders,
Thanks to those of you who joined us today. I should reiterate that the Monday Market Update is just that. A big picture overview of the markets, with a few ‘charts of interest’ thrown in. There are no trade recommendations, this is not a signal service – just what I am looking at and interested in.
Today we looked at; FX STAM, Magnificent Seven ETF ($MAGS), Meta Platforms ($META), Micron Technology ($MU), Caterpillar Inc ($CAT), Lockheed Martin Corporation ($LMT), GE Aerospace ($GE).
We also covered the usual suspects: $DJIA, $NDX, $SPY, $RTY, $DAX, $FTSE, $N225, $WTI, $XAUUSD, $XAGUSD, $BTCUSD, $USD, $DXY, $JPY, $AUD, $CHF, $NZD and $GBP.
Have a great trading week.
***We return in two weeks on Monday 2nd November.***
