A. Absolutely! Thank you for reminding me Joe.
In the last month, we have seen a resurgence in infections throughout Europe.
We have seen new lockdowns and restrictions put into place in many countries including:
France, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Belgium and I can go on…
This means, the demand for fuel (especially jet fuel) is going to continue to drop, which will lead to a further drop in the Brent Crude price.
We will then see hedge-funds and traders’ resort to mainly shorts (selling) in Brent Crude.
As a side note, this month I read that the reports from the IEA (International Energy Agency) and EIA (Energy Information Administration) have reduced their forecast for the year as the demand for Brent Crude continues to hit new low levels.

“My mind has been stretched and eyes WIDE open from just one of your calculators in the MATI Trader System Programme. The Expectancy Calculator is something I never heard of. I can’t believe how it can pretty much predict whether you will profit in the long run with your trading strategy or not!”
TIMON REPLIES: Yes, I wish more people knew about the Expectancy Calculation. It would DEFINITELY change the percentage from 5% of winning traders to at least 15%. Thank you for pointing it out. It’s a priceless tool for your trading longevity.

“Last week Friday, Anglo Gold closed up over 5% for the day. I heard that a lot of traders were stopped out due to a short squeeze. Do you mind explaining what a Short Squeeze is and how to prevent it from happening?”
A ‘Short Squeeze’ is a price term used when Sellers (shorters) are squeezed out of the market (out of their trade).
This is when demand takes over supply. And nearly all the traders that went short get "Squeezed-out" which means their stops would most likely hit or they will exit their position based on fear.
Usually you get a short squeeze when there is a turnaround in price
movements which causes the price to suddenly escalate upwards.
So the trader who went "short" in the market, will feel pain with his current position and will try and get out of his position.
Here is Anglo Gold illustrating the ‘Short Squeeze’
The only way to really avoid getting ‘Short Squeezed’ is to raise your stop loss to a higher level (but without increasing your risk per trade).
Believe it or not, I am a short seller in Anglo Gold as of the last two weeks.
Luckily, I am still in my trade as I don’t let these short price movements get me out.
So with my trade, I have my Anglo Gold CFD trade’s stop loss at R542.00, rather than R458.00.
Trade well,
