We discuss leverage, maturity, risky weekends, and the difference between the stock market and a casino. I also review the NASDAQ, S&amp;P 500, Dow Jones, CAC 40, DAX, as well as oil, gas, and Bitcoin, with the impact of geopolitical tensions (Iran). Subscribe if this helps.

Risk Warning: Trading in leveraged financial instruments may expose you to a risk of loss exceeding deposits and is only suitable for experienced clients who have sufficient financial means to bear such risk. Transactions in foreign exchange instruments (Forex), contracts for difference (CFDs), Futures, Stocks, ETFs... are highly speculative and particularly complex and carry a high level of risk due to leverage. You must ensure that you understand how these instruments work and that you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Keeping positions open over the weekend is risky. Basically, an unforeseen event can completely ruin your strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Especially if you use too much leverage. That is, borrowing to invest more. So, I say it over and over again. A day where you don\u2019t lose money is a great day. I see too many beginners panicking over a simple 4% drop. In fact, a little perspective is necessary. The stock market is not a red or black casino.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"my-levels-to-watch\">My levels to watch<\/h2>\n<p>Here are the four big points of the day:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The Nasdaq and the Dow Jones. We are in the lower pricing zone. My famous monthly supports have worked well so far. Often, the direction is decided in the last thirty minutes.<\/li>\n<li>The European indices. The CAC 40 is trying to save the 7,800 points. For its part, the DAX is protecting the 23,000 barrier.<\/li>\n<li>Gold and cryptos. Gold took a big hit with a 10% drop. It is trying to bounce back slowly. For Bitcoin, we are stagnating above 70,000. I am not taking any bets on it today.<\/li>\n<li>A barrel of oil. It\u2019s hovering around $94. That\u2019s very far from the $200 the 24-hour news channels are talking about. By the way, don\u2019t listen too much to those networks that are just trying to scare people.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"the-art-of-patience-in-trading\">The art of patience in trading<\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t get rich on a single magic trick. It\u2019s slow and steady work. Look at cathedrals, for example. It took three centuries to build them, not three months. The most beautiful structures require endurance.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-small-word-of-caution-nonetheless\">A small word of caution nonetheless<\/h2>\n<p>Be careful, a major military surprise is always possible. An unexpected volley can break our levels at any given moment. You must always integrate this possibility into your plan. Keep your position sizes modest.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In short, project yourself into the long term. Don\u2019t get fooled by the ambient rush. Take care, enjoy your weekend, and I\u2019ll see you on Monday! By the way, some great new features are coming very soon to the channel.<\/p>\n<p><div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"encart\">\n<p>Benoist Rousseau<br \/>\nTrader \u2022 CME Member \u2022 Economic History Specialist<\/p>\n<p>About the author<br \/>\nBenoist Rousseau is a trader, member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), an economic history specialist educated at the Sorbonne and an experienced educator.<br \/>\nIn the GOOD MORNING TRADING series, with over 30 years of experience, he shares his independent analysis of global financial news every morning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the newsletter and receive a $100 USD gift token<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<p><getresponse-form fields=\"email,name\" form-id=\"58f316f9-64b8-49e1-9eb9-dce612bfba6c\" e=\"0\"><\/getresponse-form><\/p>\n<p><div style=\"margin-top: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"tiers-clic tiers-ausha\" data-tiers-js=\"https:\/\/player.ausha.co\/ausha-player.js\"><template class=\"tiers-src\"><iframe name=\"Ausha Podcast Player\" frameborder=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" id=\"ausha-DmwZ\" height=\"420\" style=\"border: none; width:100%; height:420px\" src=\"https:\/\/player.ausha.co\/?showId=A3nOvHk1pgeM&#038;color=%23751CBF&#038;display=horizontal&#038;multishow=false&#038;playlist=true&#038;dark=false&#038;v=3&#038;playerId=ausha-DmwZ\"><\/iframe><\/template><p class=\"tiers-avis\">By starting the player, you accept Ausha&#039;s cookies.<\/p><button type=\"button\" class=\"tiers-btn\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M8 5.5v13l11-6.5z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><span>Listen to the episode<\/span><\/button><\/div><\/p>\n<p class=\"tiers-avis tiers-avis--haut\" data-lyte-avis hidden>By starting the video, you accept YouTube&#039;s cookies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to survive the markets before the weekend The week flew by&#8230; Honestly, with the geopolitical tensions in Iran, we expected worse.
