    Ok guys this is a little bit of the adventure we had in Mexico Andrew, Carlos and myself.... We arrived to Mexico City on Tuesday afternoon and then we went to the our cabins located at the town of Amecameca, in Mexico State, about 1.5 hours drive from Mexico City. After checking-in in our cabins we went to a nearby forest to look for Fireflies and we were surprised with a lot of them in their mating ritual in the dark. For dinner, we had delicious Chiles en Nogada, right know is pomegranate season in Mexico and restaurants use it to prepare this great Mexican dish. Thursday we had a Cecina (meat) breakfast before a 11K / 2.5 hrs hike around Paso de Cortés (3,600m) to get some acclimatization before the real thing (Iztaccihuatl volcano, third highest peak in Mexico, 5,286m). In this hike we went through Apatlaco park where we admired a fall and some creeks After the hike we went to see some places around Amecameca and finished the day with a dinner and a hail storm. Friday we continued with sightseeing Amecameca, got some supplies and we head to Iztaccihuatl volcano base to set up our camp to spend the night there to start hiking Saturday 6.00 am. Saturday night we had a very heavy rain and thunders for the most part of the night so we got poor sleep. Of course this rain covered of snow the Iztaccihuatl the day after. @ 4:00 am we woke up to break camp and pack up. 6:00 am we started our hike to Iztaccihuatl. After about 6 hours hiking, Carlos and I made it to the “Los Cien” retreat @ 4,780m and decided to head back to base while Andrew continued the hike to the summit (5,286m). For Carlos and I the Iztaccihuatl was our first mountain (in this case, volcano) so 4,780m wasn´t that bad. For Andrew, having done Nepal before, Iztaccihuatl wasn´t a big deal lol… Next day, Sunday evening, we meet Leland, who flew from Tijuana to México City to meet Andrew, and Fernando @fdo.smo, from México City. They shared their own motivations to get into day trading, some reports from the field and had a great time.

    Hi guys, I've been in the sim for a couple months now but I feel like I'm struggling a little. I've read a couple books and I was wondering how do you guys learn more about day trading/practise your day trading when the market is closed? Books? Online videos? I feel like I'm not doing enough apart from trading in the sim and want to do more after hours. Ali

    Check out market replay services such as www.tradingsim.com or ThinkorSwim (TD Ameritrade's platform). They let you trade historical data in real-time. This can expedite/condense your learning tremendously.

    Hi Ali, I am not an expert and still trying to learn myself, but some of my learning is just reviewing my trades, the good ones and the bad ones. Also, just reviewing charts of other people's trades. I will sometimes go back and listen to some of the trade recaps (we have some excellent recaps posted by other members) and then pull up the charts to see what they actually looked like when they were taken. Using something like Tradingview, I can go to a day in the past and play it back candle by candle. This helps me to see how the setup looked as it was forming and because I can advance one candle at a time, I can also see how I would have managed the trade after taking it. Hope that is helpful. It's all about constantly improving and learning. Good luck! PJ
