Developing a Successful Futures Trading Strategy for Day Trading
Dear Traders,
Iâm writing this newsletter from South America, sitting in the domestic airport of Santiago de Chile, the capital of one of my favorite countries in the world. Soon, Iâll be flying to the CopiapĂł region in northern Chile, home to the breathtaking Atacama Desert. Did you know that CopiapĂł is famous for the 2010 mine rescue, where 33 miners were trapped underground for 69 days before being safely rescued? Itâs also known for its stunning desert landscapes, rich mining history, and the driest non-polar desert in the worldâthe Atacama.
This region is also home to one of the highest volcanoes on Earth, Ojos del Salado. Standing at 6,893 meters (22,615 feet), it is the highest active volcano in the world and the second-highest peak in South America, just after Aconcagua in Argentina (6,961 meters / 22,838 feet). Itâs a challenging climb, not just because of its altitude but also due to the harsh desert conditions and extreme winds.
I plan to attempt a rapid ascent of Ojos, pushing my body to the limits once again. This climb will help me prepare for two major expeditions this year:
- Gasherbrum II (G2) in the Karakoram, Pakistan â Standing at 8,035 meters (26,362 feet), it is the 13th highest mountain in the world, located near K2.
- Manaslu in the Himalayas, Nepal â The 8th highest peak in the world, reaching 8,163 meters (26,781 feet).
To ensure I stay in peak physical condition, I plan to climb as much as possible before these expeditions. I also started a 24-hour fast before my flight, and Iâm still going strong. I feel amazingâmy mind is sharper, and I donât feel hungry at all!
While Iâm away, Thor will be trading live for the community alongside Brian Pezim. This morning, as I landed in Santiago, I was watching the YouTube live session, where Thor showcased his VPA (Volume Price Analysis) trading strategies. His approach is incredibly useful for futures, options, and equities trading.
At our upcoming Vancouver Summit (March 29-31, 2025), Thor has developed an exclusive Futures Trading Workshop, where he will dive deep into strategies designed to optimize your trading.
