*Urgent Critical Update* Friends, I have been warning about the rising _DIP-ping_ (disinformation protocols) levels leading to _Maskirovka_ (extreme masking of trades) by savvy money to cover their actual trades. On the other hand the _Pincer_ formation has already set in where the retail traders are being boxed into a designated area of the spread quadrant on the trading terminal screens. Those of you who have started analysing the tick-by-tick data have seen the action in real time. _I am thrilled by the feedback I am receiving from the ticklist traders who are learning to become independent without paying a penny to anyone (including myself). Keep going, you're doing great and make me proud 👍🏻_ *I am raising the alert levels to highest levels possible starting this week. Today's live ticklist data made me sit up in my easy chair. I am sure the TST & C-ratio data eod will be equally noteworthy.* This is a phase when a trader needs to cover his flanks with tail risk (Hacienda) hedges as I've explained in the tutorial video on that subject. Capital protection should assume priority over capital appreciation. In such markets hope is a four letter word and not a commercially viable strategy. If you have diversified your capital into sovereign guaranteed paper and bullion as advocated in my videos, that portion of your float is safe from the potential fallout. The recoil from the equity markets will be blunted to your portfolio pool. *Important* - this is something we knew was coming our way. There is no luxury of confusion available to rational minds. Let the next guy get confused and shell shocked. You focus on the procyclical hysteresis phase trading systems I shared in 2 videos on the subject and try to garner as much αlpha as possible. I have prepped you to weather this storm and come out ahead. More updates will follow!
