Welcome to the fourth day’s review of our two-week trading challenge, where our lead trader’s aim is to double his large account. Our lead trader’s record for January 12 was 4 wins, 2 losses, and 2 holds.
Today’s focus shifted back to biopharma stocks, although markets have continued to be relatively flat as the week has progressed.The potential for intraday scalps was not as promising as Monday. No recap video was recorded for this day.
