      Hi Daniel!

      I just clicked on the page, the tackle trading page and the video itself and they’re all functioning. Check your internet connection, reset your cookies or history and/or restart your computer and try it again.

      Cheers,

    Thanks Tim! I appreciate you taking your time to answer all our questions.

    I get what you are saying, but I’m thinking that I will be one step behind. I mean, if I see the futures opening down one morning and my overall portfolio is more bullish, I will probably lose some money that day if I don’t do anything. Therefore it could be a smart idea to open a bearish trade; however the bearish move might only be for a day or two and in that case would you then exit your newly opened bearish trade? I’m just thinking that I will drown in commissions opening and closing trades for a day or two only.

    @ Christian – it depends on how strong the move is and what indicators you’re picking up on. If you don’t respond at all – you can find yourself on the wrong end of strong market moves (see last October). You have to take action somewhere. Some days – you’ll just manage the trades you have. But, some days you have to get in there and wrestle your overall account risk and try to keep it in line.
