In this week's episode, sprocket888 is joined by viperxl007. They start by adding more information on US Treasuries and buying power. sprocket888 mentioned last week that this was a valid method to utilize the capital in your margin account marked for buying power expansion. He confirms this does indeed work. The rest of the episode is a working session on charting price action. This is something that needs continuous practice and learning. Even the Blockhead traders don't have this down to pure science (but we are trying to). This episode is an "open mic" session of trying to chart out the Russel index to "gain a sense of direction and next steps that are most probable to occur.
