The Evolution Of A Profitable Trader (Educational Idea)Hello traders , make sure to read this post . This is probably something that everyone need to read if he or she want to jump into the next level. Please Like to make this post reach as much as possible traders in order to Help the community. With that being said let's jump into the explanation. The average human is not wired to properly trade the financial markets. We are wired in the worst way to be a good profitable trader. We are emotional human being by nature. As a trader you are 100% responsible of your results. You cannot blame your mentor the market or any other person because you are the one behind the ''click'''. No one can manage external parameters more than you ( you can manage when to open close how much to risk etc...) This should be a very transformative post , and you should take advantage of that and use it to begin your cycle of positive momentum. Just like we are able to exponentially grow an account we can also use this opportunity to trade properly and compound your own results 1 stage : Self destructive Trader In this stage , you do not have rules , you do not respect the money Management and you believe in the holy grail. You are here to make money because you think in that get rich quick solution. Most of traders in this stage believe that there is a magic solution that it's going to make them money. Most of these traders tend to blame the market the mentor etc... They have so many back-up bridges available for retreat. They have a backup plan if it doesn’t work out and their attention is scattered  across different areas that won't help to improve. They are already preparing mentally for failure. These are the part-timers GAMBLERS. They have a Plan B and C and on and on to the last letter of the alphabet. They doubt their decisions and jump from one thing to the next. How many traders have you seen changing form one strategy to another? from one class of assets to another? , from one course to another technical course? In order to become profitable you should know that the outcome does not come from the market . You are the Problem and good news you are also the solution. In the related section you will find post that is going to change your trading. just follow us for more content. 2 stage Booms and Bust Trader. In this stage you have probably lost your first account ( like me at the beginning) , you realized that all they have been told you about the markets it's real. you can make a lot of money and you can lose a lot of money. Most of traders stay in this Stage sometimes for years. You already have a trading system , but most of your problems come from your perspective and your actions. Between the perception and the action there is a space and it's up to you to chose the response . You must learn that this is not a get rich scheme. You need to understand that you need to build subconscient proper trading habits to PROTECT YOUR ACCOUNT. 3 Profitable trader In this stage you probable have overcome the worst moments in your trading carrer and you realized that you should play with probabilities . In this stage profitable traders have a probabilistic approach that a few minority of the traders use. This approach is not based on predicting anything; rather is a precise pre-defined system of pulling the trigger when your system or edge presents itself, and the outcome of the trade is irrelevant Win lose , Breakeven , who cares. You don't focus or you don't expect anything from one single trade rather you focus on the outcome of a series of trades. You effortlessly pull the trigger no matter what when your charts meet the criteria of your system or edge. We take a series of trades, and we are entirely focused on the outcome of the series, and NOT the outcome of each individual trade. The outcome of each trade and attempting to predict the outcome of each and every trade is an non sense battle because humans are designed to expect what they predict. It is difficult to implement your system or edge in the markets flawlessly if we become attached to any one single prediction. Like most of those retail gamblers that expect everything believing that their life depends on one single trade. we do not know what will happen next; we don't need to know what is going to happen as mark Douglas say : the only certainty is the markets uncertainty. Hope this post was helpful , make sure to follow and support this idea to impact more traders. What advise would you give to someone in order to become Profitable?

How To Properly Use Risk Reward (Education)Hi Traders. Today's topic is regarding one of the most important fundamental risk management principles. Make sure to follow. One thing about Risk Reward, is that they are very decisive in order to make your account grow Imagine you're taking a trade risking 100 dollars to make only 50 dollars does it makes sense in the long Run? The answer is no, most likely you'll stuck in a chugging condition draining your mental capital and having periods of drawdowns. Risk Reward is something requires good understanding of the execution itself, knowing when to not use it, is as equally important as when to use it. In this post, we'll assume the scenarios and answer the most important questions about it. Scenarios: Risk 100 dollars to make 50 dollars or 1 to 0.5 risk reward ratio - This is the typical unprofitable financial decision. Most of the times new traders try to execute trades without even a decent risk reward, they trade just to be presents in the market, despite of the market conditions. In the long run by executing that kind of trades you will end up having heavy periods of drawdown and you will need huge amounts of trades to be back at BE and even more to make money. Risk 100 dollars to make 100 dollars or 1 to 1 risk reward ratio - This is a rather aggressive way to trade. I don't really advise new traders to try to catch that kind of trades. the reason it's because you will need the same amount of trades in profit to be back at BE. this tend to create flat trading equities. I advise to potentially lock one part of the trade if you want. let's imagine this risk reward as a coin. you have two faces and just a 50 % 50% chance. sounds a good deal to make money, looks more like casino. Well it looks like the odds are neutral and they are random distributed. We don't have odds in our favor. Risk 100 dollars to make 200 dollars or 1 to 2 risk reward ratio - Well now things start to become more interesting. Why ? because we have more flexibility to make mistakes and keep the same amount and in certain cases end up in profit. Imagine a random distribution of 3 trades like this ? what will happen if you loose those 3 trades ? you will end up with -3%. what if you are right in those 3 trades ? you will end up with +6%! Risk 100 to make 300 dollars or 1 to 3 risk reward ratio - This is the kind of trade that I advise new traders to focus on. why because it makes profitable equity curves and allows you to make money. Imagine a random distribution of 3 trades . what if you lose the first 2 and you win the last 1 ? you will end up in profit of 1% in this kind of situation you lost the majority of the trades but even like that you end up in profit? sounds crazy right ? well if you focus on trade high probability trades with 1:3 by having right 3 times you can be up 9 % !!! Risk 100 to make 500 dollars or 1 to 5 risk reward ratio This kind of trades are very rare to find but possible. - From my experience by taking a random distribution of 3 trades if you fail the two you will end up with a -2% loss but if you win the last one you will be up 3% what if you win 2 trades with 1:5 ? it will be more like 10% of profit Quick disclaimer : 1. This is just a simple risk modeling example. it is not the real trading situation. In real life your risk distribution can me more like one trade -1 second trade +1.5 third trade 2.5 . In that way you just need to focus on the principles and general ideas to slowly build your risk modelling system. 2. manage your exposure or you will have nothing left to manage 3. Stay away from marketers that tend to say they have a 90% win ratio because they will probably have a 10 % ratio lol... Let us know in the comment section what kind of risk reward do you use or comment a high value idea with us . make sure to follow Trade safe as usual.
