I’m a brand-new trader, just started trading live this week using the Izone Sharpshooter Beginner system. I caught some very nice trend trades this morning on NQ with the volatility around the Fed Chair’s speech. I tried to get into Nadex spreads near the bottom of the range but with low proximity, so that I had plenty of room for profit before hitting the spread boundary. Everything worked great, except that when the market took off the proximity of the spread didn’t keep up with the market even though I was in a wide spread and I never got close to the limit. It never caught up and when I got stopped out of the trade (based on the index) I left a bunch of money on the table because I had to close it out so far from the market.
Is there anything I can do to avoid that in the future, or is that just the nature of spreads in that kind of volatility? Would I have to trade futures directly to be able to track the market more closely?
