I am starting to believe that unless you are an insider, you can pretty much count on getting wrecked trading the markets while Trump is president. He creates way too much drama, and it severely impacts the markets!

That's the easy thing to say, but it's not necessarily true.

Its a changed environment. Ive gone from longer term trades, days and sometimes weeks, to very short. Scalping on m15 to m2.
Also moved from trading currencies, to gold, bitcoin oil and indicies. Every medium to long term term trend is wrecked with a tweet from a twit. So we have to adapt, pure price action, short term in and out. Forget about macro and fundimentals unless your pockets are deep and your horizon outlasts Trump. Once you accept all that and adjust your strategy , your are fine.
The trend (long term) is dead , volatility is now your friend.

I would love to trade Bitcoin, but regulators make things difficult for US traders who aren't accredited investors. I can't lawfully short it using leverage. Otherwise, that would probably be all I would be trading. It's a shame this special treatment toward accredited investors hasn't been done away with. There is no level playing field in the US. The ironic thing is they say these laws exist for our protection but the government that is supposedly protecting us clearly sucks at managing money!

I have many long term views.....but im not trading them. The market maker DJT has a view based on his last conversation depending on who spoke to him. so for me the money is in short term trades at the moment
