3 Essentials to Start TradingA very warm welcome to this video which is all about the 3 Essentials to Start Trading .
This is for all of you out there that may be new to trading, that haven’t got a feel for the market yet and haven’t got started and maybe you’re asking yourself ‘What is it I need to do now to get myself up and running?’ We found out of the 20,000 plus traders that we’ve mentored over the time that we’ve been running live trading seminars and running these start up basecamps, what generally tends to happen is you get traders who want to get up and running, want to start now and want to know what they need to do?
So we broke it down into three essential things that you need. The first one is knowledge . You need some knowledge of what you’re going to be doing in the market. In a nutshell, what that means is you’re going to need to know exactly what to do, when to do it, what the pips pricing means, when to buy and sell, you need a profitable trading strategy – all of these things are knowledge. Knowledge can be acquired in many different ways. One of the things that we recommend strongly is reading the right kind of books. There is a fantastic list of books that you can get and these are available on our Facebook page. You’ll be able to see the types of books that we recommend you read. The other thing to be very careful of is the wealth of information out there on the Internet. What I would strongly recommend is to find a trading mentor that can guide you through on a step by step basis in a custom environment that is suited around you, ideally on a one to one basis. That would be the best way to learn and be mentored in the financial markets. You need to have the right knowledge but don’t get immersed in all of the knowledge available on the Internet because there is so much junk out there. Having seen 20 years in the markets between myself and Thiru we’ve seen all of these traders that have come to us and they’ve got all of these deeply ingrained habits in them which are so hard to shift and they think that they’ve accumulated so much knowledge but actually a lot of it is just completely useless. So you really need to work with someone who can give you the guidance that you need. That’s very important and I strongly recommend that. So that’s knowledge. Get around the right people, the right guidance and the right types of books.
The second thing that you need is a broker account . With a broker account what you need there is a facility to be able to buy and sell the market. Let’s say, for example, you have invested already £15,000 into a trading account. That trading account needs to be with a broker, ideally regulated in the country in which you’re trading. If you’re not sure about how to select a broker account, check out my video on how to select a broker where we talk about three essential things that you should look for personally when a selecting a broker. That will give you the facility to be able to hit the trades, to be able to enter the market, and buy when your strategy and your set up gives you that signal to do so. Once you’ve accumulated the right knowledge you need the right type of broker account.
The final thing that you need on your journey is a mentor . This is so critical and I can’t overemphasise how important it is to have the right trading mentor because the right trading mentor will make the difference between being hugely successful and just feeling demotivated. A mentor is someone who has been there, done that and got the T-shirt! That is, they have an established track record, they’re transparent in their dealings, and they’ve got logs that can verify everything and you’re comfortable working with them that they will push you to get you to the next level of goals. It is really important to work with a mentor. There are two things actually that have a deep impact on our lives. One is the books that we read, this falls under knowledge, and the second is the people that we associate ourselves with or the company we keep. In this case, that’s your mentor. You need to have someone around you who has been there, done that and who is actually living the knowledge and not just talking about it. Look for people who walk the walk.
If you have these three things, you have all the tools you need to get up and running and to be successful in the markets and ingrain the right types of habits and that’s what we’d love to see for you.
So give us your comments, give us your feedback and keep in touch. Until the next time, as we always say, stay disciplined, follow your plan and Trade Like a Master.

Live Trading Session 219: Trade update for Brent using SMI & VSAIn this live trading session video, we are doing a trade update on the OIL trade that we took earlier using the stretch principle, smart money and volume spread analysis methodology. Main points to take away are to think cumulative and extract the cross transferrable principles to use in your own strategy.
Live Trading Session 218: Aligning ST principle with VSA(4/5)In this live trading session video, we are looking at the OIL trade and
aligning the stretch principle along with the volume spread analysis methodology. We then look at this across the other instruments like S&P 500, GBPUSD,etc to illustrate this powerful cross-transferrable principle that can be applied with any intra-day strategy.
GBPUSD Intraday Trend Continuation On Friday, there was a notable rebound in GBPUSD. The 15-minute chart displayed a completed upward wavestructure, indicating a positive trend. Additionally, a secondary pullback trend started on the same day, and the final leg of the retracement, labelled as (c), is showing signs of concluding.
At the current low, we observed a Market Structure Low reversal pattern, which holds significant importance. Furthermore, the price briefly dipped below the 3DL (3-Day Low), but failed to sustain below it. This occurrence serves as a genuine signal for bullish participation from a lower price range.
Taking everything into consideration, it appears that a bullish approach is the most probable scenario for Cable (GBPUSD). However, if the price slides below the 3DL once again, we will abandon all long positions.
Trade Details:
Entry Long: 1.2437
Target: 1.2506 (Deep Correction Factor)
Stop Loss: 1.2410
Happy trading!
USDJPY More Downside expected in the short termThe USDJPY has to retrace some of the impulse to the upside, we have seen wave structure 0,1,2 and 3, this is an ideal opportunity to enter short at wave structure 4 expecting Lower low 5.
The price from ML 3 to 4 is a deep retracement of 76.4% of the last decline, knowing this we will target the T1(137.81)
Stop Loss: 138.55.
Enjoy!
Live Trading GBPUSD Strong ReversalThe GBPUSD maintains a valid upward trend on the Daily chart, which demands our attention and respect. Despite the current significant decline, it is technically considered a pullback as no critical structure has been breached.
However, it is worth noting that the 5-minute intraday chart has dipped below a sell point, indicating a potential reversal. The wavestructure is currently at ML 5, representing the last swing before a bullish reversal can be anticipated.
Considering these factors, it may be opportune to consider a Long Trade from the LOD (Low of the Day), aligning with the market structure's low.
Feel free to make informed decisions based on this analysis.
Enjoy!
Live Trading GBPJPY Potential Trend ChangeWe have observed a significant development on the daily chart known as a Structural Failure, indicating a potential shift in the trend. The price experienced a notable pullback beginning on Friday, and today, analyzing the daily candles using the 4Bar rule, we have noticed a stronger downward conviction on the 5-minute chart.
If the price remains below the 1DH (1-day high) throughout the day, there is a high likelihood that the downward slide will persist.
We hope you find this information insightful and enjoyable!
