How to trade Support and Resistance levels? BINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP Support and resistance levels - are price areas on the chart where the price has ever changed its direction. This place always attracts traders, because near the levels there are obvious places for setting stop losses and entering a trade. Also, there are always limit orders of large buyers or sellers near the levels. We can say that the level is the price area in the market, where traders consider the price to be too high or too low, depending on the current market dynamics. Therefore, it is always important to pay attention to key levels at which support and resistance have reversed roles or there has been a strong price rebound. We can designate support and resistance levels as the place in the market where traders are more willing to buy or sell, depending on current market conditions. This creates a collision zone between buyers and sellers, which often causes the market to change direction. What are levels? Support level is an area on the chart with the potential strength of buyers. The moment when buyers enter the market. The resistance level is an area on the chart with the potential strength of sellers. The moment when sellers enter the market with a large volume, which allows them to take advantage of the buyers and stop the price increase. When the price breaks the support level, the support becomes resistance. Conversely, if the price breaks through the resistance level, the resistance becomes support. - On higher timeframes, support and resistance levels gain more strength. It is important to pay attention to the nature of the price movement from the level: - If the price immediately turned from the level into the opposite trend, then this level can be considered significant. - If the price tests a certain area several times, making a small pullback, most likely, this level will be subsequently broken. How to draw levels on the chart? Support and resistance levels are not lines on the chart, but areas or zones. No need to try to draw them exactly according to the shadows or bodies of the candles. Strive to achieve the maximum possible number of price touches of the levels. This will usually require you to move the level up and down until you find a spot where the market touches that level the maximum number of times. You do not need to rewind the chart far to mark all the important levels. Most often, traders look only at the current monitor screen. Therefore, 100-150 candles will be enough. Most of the levels you will need will be based on price action over the past six months. Focus on key levels that are immediately visible. Don't draw too many levels on the chart. Try to keep only the main ones and discard the secondary ones. If you find yourself wasting too much energy looking for levels, you are probably drawing more levels than you really need. How to use support and resistance levels in trading? A level is a place for a possible entry into a trade. If an additional confirming signal appears at the level, you can think about opening a position. Stop losses are placed by levels and possible targets for profit fixation are determined. In books on technical analysis and on the Internet, you can often read that the more often the price tests the level, the stronger it is. But this is a gross mistake. In fact, the more the price touches the level, the weaker it becomes. Imagine that we have a support level. The price bounces from this level because there are buyers in the market. If the price often returns to the level, this means that buy orders are gradually being executed. And when they are fully executed, then who will buy? Therefore, when there are no buyers at all, the price breaks through the level. It is important not to forget that support and resistance levels are, first of all, zones, and not exact lines on the chart. Otherwise, you may encounter two problems in your trading: the price does not reach the level and the price goes beyond it. When the market gets close enough to the level without hitting it, you may miss the trade because you were expecting a trading setup to appear exactly at the level you chose. In a situation where the price goes beyond the level, you think that the level has been broken out and you try to trade the breakout, but this often turns out to be a false breakout. How to solve these two problems? Very simple. Always treat support and resistance as zones on your chart, not exact lines. How to find out what will break the level? As we already know, support is an area with potential buying pressure. Therefore, when the price approaches the support level, it should turn into the opposite trend. But what if this does not happen and the price starts consolidating at the support level? This is a sign of weakness as the bulls are unable to forcefully push the price up. Or there is strong selling pressure in the market. In any case, this situation does not look optimistic for the bulls and the support will probably not be able to resist.

How to deal with stress in crypto trading?How to deal with stress in crypto trading? How stress can manifest itself in trading? Losses. Losses come from ignorance or inexperience. In general, they will always be, this is part of our work. But their number can be reduced. Accordingly, no matter how paradoxical it may sound,you don't need to fight with your stress, it must be experienced and get out of this situation with dignity. Not only that, stress can be a catalyst for more productive activities. First, identify the source of your stress. If it's a family affair, then spend less time trading and more family time. If you are overcome by stops, then you should move away from practice to theory and devote more time to backtesting and analyzing trades. If you are stressed by ignorance, it is accordingly better to repeat the material covered. If you do not have time to do anything, write down all your actions during the day during the week. And write down what you can get rid of to free up these necessary minutes. You need to constantly work on yourself. Analyzing errors and drawing conclusions. This applies not only to trading, but in general to all aspects of your life. How to deal with failures? First of all, do not believe all crypto bloggers who post only successful transactions. 90% of them have been in losses for a long time and never show their unsuccessful liquidations. And if you look at their leverages with which they enter into trades, it is not hard to understand that these are not traders, but gamblers. Don't compare yourself to others, everyone has good days and bad days. It is important to understand that trading is working with probabilities. No one knows how your area of ​​interest will work, no one knows where the chart will go tomorrow, no one even has a clue how much the asset will cost in a year. There are only probabilities of working out certain tools. So you need to change your attitude towards failure. This deal didn't go through? It's not scary, the next one will come in, or not the next one, but the tenth one. Doesn't matter. If you analyze your failures, and circumstances beyond your control are often to blame for the losses, then you should not worry. Because maybe the next deal will be the one you've been waiting for. If you got a stop just because Elon Musk tweeted something there, that's one thing. If the stop was received because the trend was not correctly identified, this is completely different. Failure is like stress, you don't have to deal with it. You will lose. You just need to draw conclusions. Perhaps the following will help some of you: try to change the initial attitude towards your deposit. It's your tool, nothing more. I would also like to add: Do not trade $ - trade%. Your deposit is 100% and only, no matter how much it is in $, it is important only by how much% it increases monthly. If you get used to this simple rule initially, further improvement in your life and finances will not be long in coming. How to take a break from trading? Rest is important no less than anything else, how you spend it, you decide for yourself. I would like to tell you when to take a break for a while. 1) Several stops in a row. Sure it depends on your trading style. For example, you lose 3% within a day, then you should turn of you laptop and dont check charts today. Do not try to recoup losses! Its a gambling. Have you reached a breaking point? Turned off, spent time with family, go to the gym, just relax. Understand that the market is not going anywhere, it will be tomorrow, after tomorrow and even after 5 years, the market will always be there as long as humanity is alive. 2) Profitable trades. It is also worth always taking a break, either after a big profit trade or after a series of successful trades. Why? Because you are filled with euphoria, and you start thinking you are a superhero, super guru, and its can play in one big loses when you start play with bigger deposits without stops. Everything is going well? Well, that's great, take the money you earn, spend it on yourself, make a gift for yourself or your loved ones. You just need to do it, you must feel what you earn. While the money is on the exchange, it is 100%, as soon as you withdraw funds from the exchange, it is already $. You can't earn all the money in the world. Yes, and it doesn't make any sense. Trading can give you the most important thing - freedom. Freedom in finances, freedom not to depend on the place of work, freedom to manage your own time. BUT! Only when you can accept this freedom. If you sit at the computer for days, always trying to increase your deposit with thoughts: “I’ll have $ 100,000 then I’ll have a rest”, deny yourself pleasures: “I’d better buy a coin with this money and it will grow”, etc. In this case, you yourself deprive yourself of freedom and become a prisoner of this squirrel wheel. In the end, you will simply stop enjoying trading. Our brain already remembers more negative than positive, that's how we are arranged. And if you live only on the exchange, you will inevitably remember only the negative from trading - your losses. Come to harmony between work and rest, then you will feel the pleasure of the process.

Why is a workplace important in trading?Why is a workplace important in trading? Trading is such a small life that you live every day by opening a chart and an exchange. And above all, you must live this life with dignity. And in order not to break down, not to burn out, to save your nerve cells, it is important to devote time, first of all, to psychology. Your workspace It is important that you feel comfortable working. Nothing should cause you negative emotions, remove all irritants: wipe the dust, remove all unnecessary, leaving only those things that you use daily. You should sit down at the workplace and get maximum satisfaction, everything should be as comfortable. You need to achieve maximum comfort, pay attention to what you are sitting on. Chair or office chair, choose it according to your height, back position, soft or hard, leather or velor. Customize the location of the monitor, mouse, keyboard or laptop in general. Use the speakers you need to play your favorite music in the background. Why is it so important? Because even the slightest irritants can affect your work on the crypto exchange. For example, you got a loss, at the same moment the cup with your cold coffee fell and now after 30 seconds - you are furious at everything around, and next time you start open random positions and get more and more loses. How to build a workflow? After you have prepared the workplace, you need to prepare the work itself. First, decide on the time. You need to draw up a trading schedule. You should not sit 24/7, tremble over the charts and follow every candle, except for overtrading. Yes, it will be difficult to choose the time for yourself right away. Highly recommend you to watch my video about trading styles. Create best workflow on exchange or trading view! Add favorite tool which you use all the time. Time charts, crypto lists colors, background, and all this small things. Ill make another video with trading view setups. But who knows you better than yourself? That's right, nobody. Therefore, think about how you will be more comfortable. Next, we need to determine in ourselves those things that can interfere with trade. For example: you are very sensitive to money, every penny counts. You may need to work on your relationship with money. Maybe we should not overestimate their importance. After all, this can be detrimental to emotional health in the future. Or you are an extremely gambling person, like disputes, get adrenaline from the process itself. In this case, you should think about how you will deal with excitement while trading. After all, I already told you that trading is a small life. The crypto exchange is not a place of fulfillment of desires. This is the battlefield. And in conclusion, I want to add to the preparation: Pay attention to the chart, set the colors and tools that are convenient for you in the trading view and on the exchange itself. Get a notepad. Write everything down the first time. All observations, all transactions, all emotions, all flaws. Write absolutely everything there, every day. Write yourself a checklist, add to it everything that prevents you from working and hang it in front of the monitor. Every morning, before you sit down for a chart, see if the conditions are right. For example: excellent mood, no headache or other pain, slept well, concentrated. All urgent matters are done so that nothing distracts you, etc. And most importantly, be self-disciplined.

Learned helplessness in tradingBINANCE:BTCUSDT A classic situation for a trader is the fear of opening a position, dictated by the negative previous experience in an identical situation. How usually manifested after a series of failures (losing streak) and leads to ignoring further trading setups. Let's look at this case in more detail. The material will consist of three components: The biological component describes the possible mechanisms of the brain in the field of decision making, touching on the cognitive error described above. This cluster is of no practical use in the context direct solutions to the problem, but brings the understanding that not all mental processes can be felt at the objective level perception, but can latently contribute their own changes in behaviour patterns. And the psychological component describes the mechanisms problem in terms of psychology person. The release of adrenaline does not necessarily lead to reaction, according to the strength of the corresponding reaction “beat or run", but to some extent capable induce a general mobilization of organs and systems. This is manifested in an increase in heart rate and respiratory rate, dilated pupils and other reactions directed to fight stress. Similar episodes of stress are also recorded by the cortex hemispheres and hippocampus with the formation associations. In the future, these associations will intensify, if negative outcomes prevail over positive. Association cortex conditionally "compares" the number of positive behavioral patterns and positive emotions with quantity negative, preferring to slow down the launch behavior that led to stress. Learned helplessness is a state in which an individual does not attempts to improve his condition, although he has such an opportunity. The key factor causing this condition is imaginary inability to influence the situation, and lack of connection between actions and results. However, if the negative situation is repeated repeatedly, there is a feeling that there will be more only worse. To begin with, it is very important to understand that there is no magic a method that will restore confidence in one's own actions. One way or another, you have to do it on one's own. Psychology cannot solve your problems instead of you. It can only point out some points that worth considering in order to form the correct an approach to accept negative situations and help find a way to solution to this problem. So, what to do if it works for you psychological "feet" before making important decisions based on the previous negative experience? Here are some practical tips. Catch yourself by the hand every time thoughts visit about failures that are not related to a specific situation, but projected from the past. The brain accumulates sums up negative experiences, which is common cognitive error. Although due to feelings of learned helplessness in humans and may give the impression that his chances of success after a series of failures, much lower than it really is, In practice, they are not at all diminished by the fact that was earlier. Your chances of success in this particular moment are always static and depend only on the cold mind and clear calculation. While this may not be easy, it is necessary get rid of emotions and conduct a substantive assessment their results. At what point was your result positive and why was it so? And in what moments your result was negative and,Of course, just try to find out. Probably, if you analyze your failures, you can visually observe that between your failures there was no relationship, but the fact that they went in a row, or the fact that lately there are too many of them - not more than a coincidence. If you determine that the reason for your failures was specific (impulsive decisions/exceeding risks/ignoring your own rules), you you can learn from this experience and, in the future, avoid repetition of such situations. No matter how banal and paradoxical this may seem advice, but it really works in practice. Our the brain is designed in such a way that when we give in to problems, we lose faith in ourselves and our own success. This does not mean that one should act recklessly. However, if you objectively assess the situation and decide that acting now is a good option which fits within the framework of the strategy, do not ignore such possibility. In case of failure, you will gain experience, and afraid to try, you will only start stronger believe in your own helplessness. The problem is sometimes not the situation, but the loss of will and belief in the significance of their actions. The “act when you decide to act" allows you to save or regain a subjective sense of control over situation. If accumulated failures have undermined your faith in success, false beliefs about their abilities. Since it didn't work out before, will succeed in the future. In time, man pays more attention to the experience that confirms this assertion. It only focuses on negative results, ignoring exceptions when he did it all. These fears of failure kill future success. Due to the formed negative thinking patterns in the human imagination is drawn only sad turn of events. In such situations it is important to find special cases of your own success in past. If you lack self-confidence, remember when did you get it right? Think about these sensations. It is necessary to learn to see alternatives, positive developments that form a new self-image opportunity to influence what happens in positive key. In the end, I would like to say that failures happen with absolutely everyone. And it's up to us how we We respond to them and deal with them. Do you lose confidence in yourself and your abilities? or accept failure, analyze, learn from it experience and continue to work, developing on professional field, looking forward to the future success?

10 things every trader should knowBINANCE:BTCUSDT 1. There is no general approach to trading. Most traders believe that there is a formula that can be used to predict market fluctuations. But in reality, not only is there no such formula, but it is not even possible to develop a general model of markets, since patterns are constantly changing. There are numerous styles and approaches (which sometimes contradict each other) used by traders, perfectly demonstrate the huge opportunities that stock trading provides. That is, there are a large number of ways to become a successful trader. But in order to find your way, you need to work hard. 2. Look for the style of trading that best suits your preferences. Each trader for successful trading must develop his own method that will correspond to his ideas about the market. A trading approach that is profitable for one trader can lead to losses for another trader if he does not adapt the method to his abilities and ideas. As O'Shea said: "If I try to teach you what I know myself, you will fail, because you are not me." Failure can befall a trader even if he stands behind a successful trader and closely observes everything he does. Such training will allow you to adopt some good habits, but no more. Indeed, in the future there will be many moments when the second trader will want to do something completely different than the first trader. This does not mean that trading one may be less successful than trading the other, but they will certainly operate differently. A trader for successful trading needs to learn to be himself. 3. Trading should not make you feel uncomfortable. In the event that the open trading position is very large, traders often exit trades during minor corrections in which they could make a significant profit. This happens because of the fear that prevails over the mind. This means that the size of positions must be reduced until fear no longer prevails over reason. Even if the market is moving in the right direction, using only a fraction of your capital to trade may end up being more profitable than if you were to invest all of your capital. 4. A good trader must adapt quickly. If trading were so simple that a trader could find one pattern and exploit it for a living, then everyone would be successful. But life is much more complicated: markets change all the time, and a pattern that was profitable can suddenly stop working. This is what a good trader should always be ready for: even the most reliable approach can stop making a profit and start bringing continuous losses. 5. Don't confuse winning/losing trades with good/bad trades. The thing is, there are good trades that make losses and bad trades that make profits. After all, the most wonderful and profitable trading strategy has a certain percentage of losing trades, but this does not make it bad. It is impossible to understand in advance whether a transaction will bring a loss or profit. But if trades are made in accordance with a trading system that has a positive mathematical expectation, then they will be good and correct, regardless of the amount of profit or loss. This is explained by the fact that trading with a positive mathematical expectation makes a profit over a long period of time. If transactions are made randomly, then regardless of the amount of profit or loss, they will be bad, because over a long period of time they are guaranteed to bring a loss to the trader. 6. Focus on methods that work and spend less time on methods that don't work. This advice from Clark is very commonplace, but many traders do not follow it. Very often you can find cases when a trader manages to find a successful trading style, but he gets bored and begins to make extraneous transactions, not quite understanding what he is doing. As a result, the overall performance decreases. In order to make a profit, a trader must focus on what he is good at and concentrate on those trades. 7. On the way to success, you need to make a lot of mistakes. Dalio argues that all your mistakes need to be studied and carefully analyzed - only this will help to achieve progress and achieve success. After all, each discovered and worked out error will improve your trading approach or find weaknesses in it. The trader will only benefit if he writes down on paper each of his mistakes, draws a conclusion in writing and writes down what adjustments he made to trading after that. You should not rely in such a business as trading, only on memory. Periodic review of the records will allow you to consolidate the acquired skills and prevent these mistakes in the future. It is impossible to completely avoid mistakes in trading. But the success of a trader is determined It is not the absence of errors, but their low frequency. 8. Make only those trades that you are sure of. A trader needs to have a considerable amount of patience in order to wait for trades that he is sure of. This increases the number of profitable trades. For example, a good trader is not bothered by having to do nothing for long periods of time. He does not make trades until he sees that it is possible to make a trade that suits his trading strategy. 9. Don't trade on a wave of euphoria. A good trader should not fall under the influence of euphoria or stock market hysteria. In general, excessive euphoria in the market is the first sign of an approaching trend reversal. 10. Watch how the markets react to the news. Market reactions to news may be more important than the content of the news. According to Piatt, during one of the transactions there was an endless stream of bad news. He expected that this position would close with a loss after every bad news, but the price, despite expectations, did not fall. As a result, Piatt decided that this (the fact that the market does not react to the news) confirms his trading idea, and increased the size of his position four times. This deal brought him one of the largest profits in the history of his work. Studying the markets, you immediately understand the huge scale of exchange trading. The main thing is that trading is equally accessible to everyone. One click - and you are on the stock exchange in New York, the second click - and you are already in Tokyo. These exciting journeys can bring not only pleasure, but also money.

USDX Daily TA Cautiously BullishUSDX Daily cautiously bullish. *Equities are down, cryptos are down, commodities are down (yes Gold included), real estate/housing market down, inflation up and the US dollar (as well as Russian ruble)... up. The Fed is expected to announce anywhere from a 50bp-100bp rate hike this Wednesday if they want to be in line with their promise to go "beyond neutral" to ring in still growing inflation; 50bp would likely assuage markets in the short term and stall the dollar, whereas 75bp+ would likely send markets lower and keep pushing up the dollar.* Recommended ratio: 90% USDX, 10% cash. Price is currently in Discovery as it is currently printing a new ATH at $105.05 amidst a big push back into treasuries (10y/30y). Volume remains Moderate (high) and is currently on track to favor buyers for a fourth consecutive session if it can close in the green in today's session. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $101.36, this margin is mildly bearish. RSI is currently breaking above 63.78 and is trending up at 68.60 as it fast approaches overbought territory. Stochastic remains bullish and is currently on the verge of testing max top (where it can potentially coast in the bullish "autobahn zone" for a while). MACD remains bullish for a second consecutive session and is currently trending up at 0.39, the next resistance is at 0.46; if it blows past 0.46, it will likely test the uptrend line from August 2020 at around 0.80 resistance. ADX is currently trending up at 23 as Price continues to rise, this is mildly bullish and becomes very bullish if it can maintain this same correlation above 25. If Price is able to continue in its Discovery, the next psychological level to watch for is $110. However, if Price retreats from here then it will likely test $103.77 support. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes below) $103.77.

What makes a great trader!Traders! Learn from lions! 1. Set Goals Every time the sun rises, the lion has one goal that keeps it motivated. It is survival. No matter what day it is, no matter how hard the struggle will be, they stand up with determination to survive. That is called the lion attitude. Many lions lose their reign, cubs, and queens to other lions, but they never give up on life. Lions are born to hunt, and they know they have to get up and run to get fed. They need to be ready to defend their territory and to fight with all their power to protect the pride and the young cubs. With their survival instinct, they fear no other animals and survive among the fittest. Therefore, as a trader you need to set goals. These can be long term goals or daily goals and strive to achieve your goals. A trader that sets no goal is like a sailor that goes without a compass. 2. Be selective Lions don’t kill just any animal. First they observe and among the group of animals they pinpoint one, probably the weakest but also the size that can feed the entire family. Most of the time their instinctive calculator works. What is the lesson? There are many instruments. Not all these needs to be traded at once. We should pay attention to a few instruments, perhaps pick one or two that are shaping up well and trade these. It is also good to know which instrument is good for us to trade, which one brings us fruits and which one burns our accounts so we avoid this. It is not necessary to trade everything, what is necessary is to make money. What gives you money-stick to that. 3. Focus Lions focus on one target. After selecting a target, they only put attention to that. They don’t waste time looking at others. After selecting the instrument that you want to trade, focus on that, avoid being distracted by other instruments or pairs. Other pairs will tick and move, if you divert your attention from those that you selected you will lose focus and end up taking wrong trades that you didn’t plan of taking. 4. Embrace failures The hunt is not about excellently using that one opportunity to get the prey. It is about hunting until you get one without knowing how many opportunities you need. The facts are that the hunt fails eight out of ten times. However, have you ever seen a lion losing hope? Or have you ever seen a depressed lion? No. After every failure, it tries again and changes its approach. Lions never give up, because they have a different type of appetite. They can keep going, no matter how hard it gets. Every time again, they are trying to make a better hunt to succeed. That is called determination. The struggle forces them to get it to the next level. The prey is not just going to sit there and wait for the lion. Even as the king of the jungle, they have to work hard and learn the lessons throughout each attempt. For you, it will be no different. Embrace the failures and find the strength in every setback. Your failures are part of your success. They allow you to begin again more intelligently. Make sure you will not repeat them. A real trader's goal is to be a profitable trader. Through the process of becoming profitable, you will fail, sometimes fail very terrible. Just like the king of the jungle that never gives up, you should not be held back by those failures. You need to get excited by the process and fight through anything that holds you back from achieving your goals. Keep challenging yourself by setting new goals. The hunt never stops, so aim higher with every new goal. 5. Seek Support from others The lion finds its highest support amongst the other lions in its pride. They depend on each other when it comes to their survival. Every lion plays its part in times of hunting the prey and in times of defending its territory. As the only "big cat" who lives in groups, they work with each other and work for each other. No matter how hard the struggle is, there is no task too big when it is faced together. The more lions involved in the hunt, the bigger the prey they will go after, and the more organized and coordinated they will be. No matter how long you've been an active trader, you still need to learn from others. This is very relevant if you are just starting of as a trader. Right from the very beginning, trading will not be as smooth as you expect it. Your whole life will be involved, your emotion and your psychological being. It is best to seek support from others and never get ashamed to ask for help. One way of seeking help is by taking lessons from those who are doing well in trading. If there’s any cost involved-pay it, because the lesson you will get from there will be invaluable. 6. Enjoy your daily Moments Besides all the challenges the lion is facing in chasing their life goal, it still sleeps for more than half of the day. Moreover, it enjoys the daily moments in the pride by relaxing, lazing around, and play with other lions. Lions spend between 16 and 20 hours each day resting and sleeping. They conserve their energy during the warm day because of their few sweat glands. They become more active at night when it is colder. Just like the lion, find time to relax. Become aware of when it is time to enjoy your moments and get your energy level upwards. Make sure you take care of yourself to be at your best when you're hunting your goals. The best moments in life with family, friends, or just yourself, have to be experienced at its full potential. Avoid being on the chart the whole day, it is dangerous to your health! 7. Be protective If you threaten anything of value to the lion, you better be prepared to fight. Its family, its territory, the lion is willing to die for these. What are you willing to protect and die for as a trader? Each time you open the chart, your account is under threats, your fund is at risk. Many of the risks are cost by ourselves. Overleveraging, trading with no stop loss, these are just some of the mistakes we make. A lion would defend its territory and even lay its life for it. As a trader, it is your goal to defend your capital by using proper risk management and setting calculated stop losses to every trade you execute.

BTC/USDT by CryptoTradersWWThis month, keep it simple with BTC! The symmetrical triangle was perfectly retested, which is a bullish indicator. However, the market is encountering resistance at the TPO point of control drawn from the start of 2021, which, if broken and held above, would likely lead to additional highs. When price was within this pattern, the 50 - 3-day Moving average served as dynamic support, and it will serve as additional line of defense if price falls back into the triangle. <----------------------------> ☑️ Follow, Comment & Like ☑️ Create a civil and healty discuss in the comments and share with me your thoughts Thanks and Happy Trading!

Being a weekend trading warriorYour results on Monday will be influenced by the work that you do on the weekend, specifically Sunday. As an intraday trader I constantly think about my trading. Here are a few points which every trader should focus on, 1 - Mapping our mental weaknesses We all have mental challenges, some of us have a lot of FOMO, while others oversize and over trade, you know what is holding you back as a trader... FIND IT AND WORK ON IT! 2 - Reviewing trades (winners & losers) Search for the plays where you can add size, search for patterns that you can exploit next week, review your best trades. What trades worked best for you? more of these on Monday. What trades are not working for you? Eliminate them. 3 - Checking for key levels & patterns The best in every industry practice and train... yet probably 90% of traders never really do any kind of practice, they search for a strategy and then cannot wait to apply it to the markets... real traders work on their trading hence they create REAL SKILLS!

Most often rather than not you will always be in the wrong end of a trade if you FOMO on it 🤔 What to do instead? 1. Remain calm, if you didn't plan the trade, let it be. 2. Ignore traders who shill trading opportunities without giving you concrete reasons and research details. 3. DYOR (DO Your Own Research). 4.
