Trading is easy
1. Trading is easy, everyone can do it - making money when trading is the difficult part
2. Trading consistently is hard to maintain even at the best of times
3. To keep pulling the trigger when the going gets tough is even harder

Recent trading has been a struggle
1. Using the (VIX)
2. To trade the (XAO)
3. The equity curve displays how emotional it can be at times

1. Using the VIX
The white box displayed in the chart below is the trading period of "Skate's Daily VIX Strategy" - Using the VIX to decide when to enter a position is not always accurate but at times it's the best we have. I've found using the "VIX" is as good as any other method to enter a trade. Money management incorporating a sharp exit handles the rest.

2. The All Ordinaries XAO (during the trading period)
Trading is difficult at the best of times - trading is even more of a challenge when the markets are in a downtrend

3. The equity curve displays how emotional it can be
Trading is not all peaches & cream. We all as traders tend to focus on the destination without realising the journey has its many challenges.
