Stripped Clouds Trading Strategy | How to Trade Using This System

By now we are all aware of the coronavirus which has in the past few months affected millions of people worldwide. Maiming at least 16,558 people and infecting at least 381,761 people to date.

Out of the 381,761 infected persons, 102,429 people have made a total recovery (which is good news). Source – Worldometer.

The other good news though is that most governments are now locking down cities and boundaries and in some cases forcing people to stay at home. All in an attempt to keep the virus in control.

But other than keeping you alive, do you know how else staying at home is good news to me and you – the seasoned trader?

Well, staying at home without any distractions means we can now trade earn without limits.

It means we can buy Safaricom shares now (when they are down to 24.60 shillings per share) and wait to sell (at 33.50 shillings per share) when the economy is steady on its feet again. 

Even more interesting we can trade international stocks like: –

• Apple.
• Facebook.
• Starbucks.

On our phones and make just as much money when we sell later.

One thing to keep in mind though, even with utter surety that preferred stocks are falling and that it is the ideal time to BUY,  you can still make a mistake and lose all your money.

To minimize that risk, it is recommended that you find a working strategy to trade over this period.

For those trading Forex, Stocks, Commodities, indices, and Crypto on Olymp Trade; I recommend that you try the Striped clouds strategy to trade.
