I had been tracking it for a\u00a0 week, and it was only a matter of time before it would bring tremendous\u00a0 amounts of rain, damaging winds, possible tornadoes, and dangerous flooding\u00a0 to my area. Twelve hours before Hurricane Isaac was projected to hit my\u00a0 area, I told Andres\u00a0 (Salazar) and Bradley (Ha) at SMB in New York City\u00a0 that I was going to trade like normal, but I could be with out power for\u00a0 days. There were so many good set-ups, and I was having a very good August.\u00a0 Our proprietary trading method puts us excellent positions for max returns\u00a0 with minimal loss. This gave me the confidence to put on trades knowing that\u00a0 in a few hours, I could possibly be with out power, not be able to look at\u00a0 my trading platform, and have no idea what my trades were doing. What I did\u00a0 have was Andres and Bradley that would keep me informed on what the market,\u00a0 and my trades were doing. I knew I had my team behind me, even through a\u00a0 hurricane. Hurricane Isaac brought days of constant rain, damaging winds,\u00a0 and flooding. Fortunately, my family and I were safe. We never lost power,\u00a0 and I was able to monitor my trades while keeping in constant communication\u00a0 with Andres and Bradley at SMB just in case something did happen. So, yes I\u00a0 did trade through a hurricane, and yes my trades were profitable. I would\u00a0 like to thank Andres Salazar and Bradley Ha for hanging in there with me\u00a0 during the storm.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Stuart Miller<\/div>\n<div>Remote Forex Trader, SMB Capital<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Andres Salazar<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"mailto:amsalazar@smbcap.com\">amsalazar@smbcap.com<\/a><\/div>\n<div>SMB forex trader<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/risk-disclaimer\">Risk disclaimer<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The storm was brewing in the Gulf of Mexico.
