How to Trade a Choppy or Volatile Market, and When Not to Trade at All
Choppy and volatile are 2 different problems. 26 years of S&P 500 data on how often each happens, and the 3 dials to turn when the market stops cooperating.
I'm Spencer Li, The 15-Minute Trader. I founded Synapse Trading in Singapore and have traded for 15+ years, run from 70+ countries. I teach a rules-based swing trading system built for people with day jobs: about 15 minutes a day, one system for any market. More than 700 students have graduated from my Trading Mastery Program. I'm a Certified Financial Technician (CFTe) on the IFTA register, and hold double degrees in Accountancy and Business Management from Singapore Management University. The Business Times has featured me. Every trade I take is public and dated, losses left in. It's trading education, not a promise of income.
