Fibonacci Extension Tool (How To Use)How To Use The Fibonacci Extension Tool: Bearish example (like Chart)
A) Highest Top Point
B) Reversal Bottom Point
C) 2nd Highest Top Point (Note) Can NOT be higher then A Point.
D) Will be 3 points or targets, 1st target at 50% extension, 2nd target at 100% extension & 3rd target at 150% extension.
The rules for take profit orders are very individual, but most traders use it as follows:
A 50, 61.8 or 78.6 retracement will often go to the 161 Fibonacci extension after breaking through the 0%-level. A 38.2 retracement will often come to a halt at the 138 Fibonacci extension. Fibonacci extensions to the price moves. As you can see, the extensions provided great places for take profit orders.
Conclusion: Fibonaccis are multi-functional
This demonstrated how to use Fibonaccis efficiently in trading. Don’t make the mistake of idealizing Fibonacci s and believing that they are superior over other tools and methods. Fibonacci is a great tool to have and can be used very effectively as another confirmation method. Whether you are a trend following or a support and resistance trader, or just looking for ideas how to place your take profit orders, Fibonaccis are a great addition to your arsenal.

FX Compounding Calculator (Do You Want To Be A Millionaire?) Only one way to grow a small account into a large account. That is by treating Forex trading as a marathon race not a sprint race.
Do you have 2 to 5 years?
You can use the compounding calculator to calculate profits. This allows you to understand better, how your trading account will grow over time.
One of the most interesting facts about compounding is, that even a moderate monthly gain turns your initial capital into a serious amount of money over time. A Forex compounding calculator is useful to simulate how compounding the initial equity and the profitable trades, with a set gain percentage, can make a trading account grow over time.
It works by simulating the compounding and the reinvesting of the same chosen gain percentage of the account's total equity. With this calculator traders can input the settings in order to accurately calculate the compounding results of a set of winning trades over a period of time.
The use of this calculator can demonstrate traders how powerful gains compounding can be, and, that even a moderate gain percentage of 2% (for example) per trade, can turn an account’s initial capital into a substantial amount of capital over time.
You will be surprised how powerful compounding can be.
My goal is profit at least 1% per trade and/or 1% per session/day. Look at chart: You Can Do It- by letting your account grow with compounding profits
< this is the holy grail of building your account.
Albert Einstein said,"“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.”

Candlestick Chart Part 2 : ReversalsHello everyone, as we all know the market action discounts everything :)
_________________________________Make sure to Like and Follow if you like the idea_________________________________
Today's video will be about the Candlestick Chart : Reversal Patterns.
So lets start by talking about the different types of Patterns :
Bullish Reversal Patterns
Bearish Reversal Patterns
And they are divided into 3 groups :
Weak Patterns
Reliable Patterns
Strong Patterns
We Start with the Weak Reversals :
1) Dragonfly Pattern :
A dragonfly doji candlestick is a candlestick pattern with the open, close, and high prices of an asset at the same level. A dragonfly doji pattern does not appear constantly. It is used as a technical indicator that signals a potential reversal of the asset’s price.
2) Hammer & Hanging Man Patterns :
The Hammer is a bullish reversal pattern that forms during a downtrend. It is named because the market is hammering out a bottom.
When the price is falling, hammers signal that the bottom is near and the price will start rising again.
The long lower shadow indicates that sellers pushed prices lower, but buyers were able to overcome this selling pressure and closed near the open.
The Hanging Man is a bearish reversal pattern that can also mark a top or strong resistance level.
When the price is rising, the formation of a Hanging Man indicates that sellers are beginning to outnumber buyers.
The long lower shadow shows that sellers pushed prices lower during the session.
Buyers were able to push the price back up some but only near the open.
3) Inverted Hammer & Shooting Star Patterns :
The Inverted Hammer occurs when the price has been falling suggests the possibility of a reversal. Its long upper shadow shows that buyers tried to bid the price higher.
However, sellers saw what the buyers were doing, said "No!" and attempted to push the price back down.
The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that looks identical to the inverted hammer but occurs when the price has been rising.
Its shape indicates that the price opened at its low, rallied, but pulled back to the bottom.
4) Dark Cloud Pattern :
A 2-candle pattern. The first candle is bullish and has a long body. The second candlestick should open significantly above the first one’s closing level and close below 50% of the first candlestick’s body. The sell signal is moderately strong.
5) Piercing Pattern :
A 2-candle pattern. The first candlestick is long and bearish. The second candlestick opens with a gap down, below the closing level of the first one. It’s a big bullish candlestick, which closes above the 50% of the first candle’s body. Both bodies should be long enough.
6) Upside Gap Three Method :
The upside gap three methods candlestick pattern is a bearish continuation pattern that only occurs during an uptrend. It consists of three candles. The first two candles are long and white in the direction of the prevailing trend. The second black candle creates an upside gap. The third candle fills the gap between the first and the second candle.
7) Downside Gap Three Method :
The downside gap three methods candlestick pattern appears during a downtrend and consists of three candles. The first two candles have a gap down between them while the third candle covers the gap between the first two. The gap between the first two candles simply gets filled.
8) Bearish Harami Pattern :
A 2-candle pattern. The body of the second candle is completely contained within the body of the first one and has the opposite color.
9) Bullish Herami Pattern :
A 2-candle pattern. The body of the second candle is completely contained within the body of the first one and has the opposite color.
Now Lets Talk about the Reliable Reversals :
1) Bullish Engulfing Pattern :
A 2-candle pattern appears at the end of the downtrend. The first candlestick is bearish. The second candle should open below the low of the first candlestick low and close above its high.
2) Bearish Engulfing Pattern :
A 2-candle pattern. The first candlestick is bullish. The second candlestick is bearish and should open above the first candlestick’s high and close below its low.
3) Tower Top Pattern :
The tower top is a reversal pattern that occurs at high price levels. Typically one or more long bullish candlesticks are followed by a few smaller real body candlesticks and then the pattern is completed with one or more large bearish candlesticks.
4) Tower Bottom Pattern :
The tower bottom is a reversal pattern that occurs at low price levels. There is one or more long bearish candlesticks followed by a few smaller body candlesticks and then concluded with one or more large bullish candlesticks.
5) Bullish Abandoned Baby Pattern :
The bullish abandoned baby is a pattern that appears at the end of a downtrend and signals reversal to an uptrend. Simply put, it signals an end of the selling pressure of the bears and return of the bulls in the market.
This pattern consists of three candlesticks: the first candle has a black (or red) big body, the second is a small and bearish candle – or a Doji, and the third is white (or green) candle.
6) Bearish Abandoned Baby Pattern :
The bearish abandoned baby is a reversal pattern that forms during an uptrend. It is characterized by three candles, where the first candle is long bodied and white/green.
The second candle is a Doji that gaps above the close of the first bar in the series. The third candle opens below the close of the second bar and is long bodied and black/red.
7) Dumpling Top Pattern :
A dumpling top occurs when small real body candlesticks slowly rise and then move in a neutral to downward direction. The dumpling top pattern is complete when there is a bearish candlestick that gaps down from the other candlesticks.
8) Fry Pan Bottom Pattern :
The opposite of the dumpling top is the fry pan bottom pattern. The fry pan bottom occurs when small real body candlesticks slowly move downward and then move in a neutral to upward direction. The fry pan bottom pattern is complete when a bullish candlestick gaps up from the rest of the candlesticks.
9) Bullish Belt Hold Pattern :
A bullish belt hold shows up in downtrends. The pattern can be recognized by one long, full-bodied candlestick that is bullish and opens at a new recent low. The bullish belt hold candle is expected to have a flat or nearly flat bottom. The top has a small shadow, relative to the length of the body.
10) Bearish Belt Hold Pattern :
The bearish belt hold is the complete opposite and it comes up in uptrends. To detect it, look for a long full-bodied, bearish candlestick that stands out at the top of an uptrend because it will get to a new recent high and it should be noticeably longer than the other candles.
11) Tweezer Top Pattern :
The Tweezer Top pattern is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that is formed at the end of an uptrend.
It consists of two candlesticks, the first one being bullish and the second one being bearish candlestick.
Both the tweezer candlestick make almost or the same high.
12) Tweezers Bottom Pattern :
The Tweezer Bottom candlestick pattern is a bullish reversal candlestick pattern that is formed at the end of the downtrend.
It consists of two candlesticks, the first one being bearish and the second one being bullish candlestick.
Both the candlesticks make almost or the same low.
And Last but not least The Strong Reversal Patterns :
1) Three White Soldiers Pattern :
A 3-candle pattern. There’s a series of 3 bullish candles with long bodies. Each candle should open within the previous body, better above its middle. Each candle closes at a new high, near its maximum. The reliability of this pattern is very high, but still, a confirmation in the form of a white candlestick with a higher close or a gap-up is suggested.
2) Three Black Crows Pattern :
A 3-candlestick pattern. There’s a series of 3 bearish candles with long bodies. Each candle opens within the body of the previous one, better below its middle. Each candle closes at a new low, near its minimum. The reliability of this pattern is very high, but still, a confirmation in the form of a bearish candlestick with a lower close or a gap-down is suggested.
3) Morning Star Pattern :
A 3-candle pattern. After a long bearish candle, there’s a bearish gap down. The bears are in control, but they don’t achieve much. The second candle is quite small and its color is not important, although it’s better if it’s bullish. The third bullish candle opens with a gap up and fills the previous bearish gap. This candle is often longer than the first one.
4) Evening Star Pattern :
A 3-candle pattern. After a long bullish candlestick, there’s a bullish gap up. The bulls are in control, but they don’t achieve much. The second candlestick is quite small and its color is not important. The third bearish candle opens with a gap down and fills the previous bullish gap. This candle is often longer than the first one.
5) Bullish Three Line Strike Pattern :
A bullish three-line strike is made up of four candles. Of these, the first three are bullish, while the last is bearish. It is made up of three strong bullish candles that progressively end higher followed by a final strike candle. The strike candlestick is bearish and begins at or higher than the third candle but closes at least lower than the open of the first candle.
6) Bearish Three Line Strike Pattern :
A bearish three-line strike is a four candle continuation pattern that comes up in a bearish trend. The first three candles are bearish, while the last candle is positive and ends above the highest close of the previous three candles.
I Do wanna mention General Reversal Patterns :
Three Mountains is the same as Triple Top Pattern
Three Rivers is the same as Inverted Triple Top Pattern
Buddha Top is the same as Head and Shoulders Pattern
Inverted Buddha is the Same as Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern

Without this, you will not become a profitable trader
Yes, this is risk management.
Without proper risk management, your trading strategy based on levels, indicators, patterns, etc.will not make any sense.
Any trading strategy should be supported by strict risk management, where the maximum allowable losses per transaction and the risk ratio are observed:the profit is always more than 1/2.
You don't have to be right in every trade. It's just that your profit in successful transactions should be greater than the losses in unprofitable transactions. This correct use of risk management will lead you to success.
____________
The example shows one of the real scenarios of any trading system where the rules of risk management are observed:
Deposit of 10,000$
The risk per transaction is -1% (or -100$)
Total trades:
4 profitable trades = +14%
10 losing trades = -10%
Total: +4% (or + 400$)
Even though only 30% of the total number of profitable transactions, we still have a profitable result.
Learn risk management and become a consistently profitable trader.

Forex Correlations ( Need To Know )Noted chart only has a few highly traded pairs and their either highly correlated negative or positive pairs on daily charts.
If you trade more then one pair at a time, you should know which pairs either mostly go same direction and or go opposite direction.
You might not want to do two trades that have a positive correlation or negative correlation for diversity and so you do not lose two trades at same time.
There are websites which have further information on Forex correlation- you should check out.
TRADING BASICS | What is a Pip? 📚
📏Pip is a measurement of the price change in a currency pair trading on the forex market. In most cases, pip is the equivalent to 1/100th of 1%.
That rule is applicable to all the currency pairs quoted to the 4th decimal place like EURUSD.
➡️Current EURUSD price is 1.1696
6 is the 4th decimal place representing a pip.
If the pair moves from 1.1696 to 1.1697, that 0.0001 USD rise in value is ONE PIP.
❌That rule is not applicable, for example, to USDJPY which is only quoted to 2 decimal places.
➡️Current USDJPY price is 109.62
2 is the 2nd decimal place representing a pip.
If the pair moves from 109.62 to 109.63, that 0.01 JPY rise in value is ONE PIP.
🦉The word pip stands for "price interest point" or "percentage in point".
Even though a pip might appear as an extremely small unit of measurement, in leverage trading even the one pip price change of the instrument may lead to a sufficient gain or loss.
➗How to calculate the value of a pip?
Each and every currency has its own relative value.
In the following example, I will show you how to calculate the value of a pip for a particular currency pair.
USD/CAD = 1.2753
Reading that as 1 USD to 1.2753 CAD or 1 USD / 1.2753 CAD
1 Pip =
* 1 USD = 0.00007841 per unit traded.
Following this example, if we trade 10.000 units of USD/CAD, then a one pip change to the exchange rate would be approximately 0.78 USD change in the position value.
Alternatively, pip value can be calculated with various calculators & apps.
I hope that with these examples and my explanation you will understand the concept of a pip easily.

Trend lines (How To Draw & Use)There are a few basic rules to bear in mind when drawing trend lines:
1. Tentative trend line - A diagonal line market bounces off of twice. This trend line is indicative of a potential trend, but is not confirmed & actionable yet.
This is a tentative trend line; two points touch the line. It suggests the possibility of a trend in the making, though conventional analysis will not regarding the trend as established until there are three points on the line.
2. Confirmed trend line - The market has bounced off this trend line three times. Conventional analysis regards this as a sign that the trend line is real, and that the market will react around it.
It is easiest to trade from a trend when its highs or lows trend closely to a recognizable diagonal line, since this line may be used to predict future highs or lows. Opinions vary on whether trend lines should be drawn from the highs and lows of candles or from body of the candle, open & close prices; successful traders can be found employing either approach.
In an up trend, trend lines touched three times, this validates the trend line. Those who wish to trade with the trend may have looked for opportunities to buy based on validated trend. Price pulled back to the trend line that was previously confirmed. Traders can do a trend trade & may be a buying opportunity.
Support and Resistance
The price action trader pays particular attention to pivotal price levels, often “drawing” these lines horizontally as Support and Resistance levels. The theory behind employing these lines is that the market has a sort of memory: price behaves with respect to certain levels that have previously been significant
turning points in the historical narrative of the price’s action, and other market participants are likely
Risk management lessonI mentioned it on another day already, but this topic is very important so I decided to share it again to reach as much as possible. Hope it will help some!
The last weeks it happend again, I saw some traders with less knowledge (young and old) who crashed their accounts very hard. They lost a lot of money and for some it was very dreadful!
It is hard to watch this people how they burn money and bring even his own family in financial danger. That´s why I decided to share one important chapter from my book here to you.
May be some will find very helpful, or some will remember this rules again.
I will keep it a bit shorter here as in my book, but the main points are still mentioned!
I can´t say it often enough, keep the important rules in trading. Trading is not the way to get rich quick, it is a serious and hard business! It take a lot of time to learn, it requires a lot of patience and it will happen a lot of failures.
This failures are even more important than your success! Success will not open up how it will not work, failures will.
Let´s talk about risk management!
For each investment you have to consider you take for each trade the risk to lose money, that´s why it is mandatory to handle each investment with a good risk/reward distribution.
You have to keep in mind, the determined risk/reward is only theoretically and can result complete different. But with knowledge you can dedicate a good entry for your trades to keep your risk as low as possible.
Determine important support and resistance levels and think about all situations what could happen and what will you do if you are going into the red or into the green? Which levels are the best entry and exit?
This all will help you to determine your riks/reward ratio.
What is the Risk/Reward Ratio?
Successful day traders are generally aware of both, the potential risk and potential reward before entering a trade.
The goal of a day trader is to place trades where the potential reward outweighs the potential risk.
These trades would be considered to have a good risk/reward ratio.
A risk/reward ratio is simply the amount of money you plan to risk, compared to the amount of money you believe you can gain.
For example, if you think a potential trade may result in either a $400 profit or $100 loss, the trade would have a risk/reward ratio of 1:4, making it a favorable setup. Contrarily, if you risk $100 to make $100, the trade has a risk/reward ratio of 1:1, giving you the same type of unfavorable odds that you can find in a casino.
Which ratio should you desire?
Like described above, finding trades with high risk/reward ratios (1:2 or higher), will help you maintain higher average profits and lower average losses, making your trading strategy more sustainable.
The common suggestion between traders is a distribution of minimum 1:2 ratio. In reality there are often even better ratios available, if you do your technical chart analysis.
But what should you do if you have to cut losses?
We have to place our stop loss right below our support or other important levels we determined before.
The purpose is to cut losses before they grow too large. Stopping out of a losing trade can be one of the hardest things for traders to do consistently. However, failing to take stops can result in margin calls, unnecessarily large losses, and ultimately account blowouts.
How big should I enter a position?
To lower your risk I recommend to think about your size to enter a position.
Overall you shouldn´t risk money you need, only deposit money in your broker you can afford.
Entering small can be the smartest way to safe your account.
I suggest that because of four reasons, the first reason is, you don´t risk to much of your funds and your stop loss should be tight anyway.
The second reason is, you can average down if the price is going in the other direction, but consider this option only if you are sure what you are doing.
The third reason is, you can buy the dips/pullbacks if the trend is strong and still heading in your desired direction.
In addition, the fourth reason is, your emotional control is stronger if the price movement is heading in the wrong direction.
That brings me to another topic.
Should you use leverage?
Yes I know, big leverage will give you big gains...but as a beginner you will not have the experience to know which trade has a very big potential or not.
Even experienced traders use only a small amount to enter a position and not the whole fund.
If you use leverage the losses can be much higher and the problem with that is, if you lose money, your leverage will also decrease significantly and the losses are harder to recover after each loss.
So the answer of the question, if you should use leverage:
For beginners we can easily answer: Take your hands of a big leverage!
You can so hardly blow up yourself with that tool, it is ridiculous. Your way back into the profit zone will probably take years.
But you have to save yourself and after a period of time, a period of taking profits and cutting losses you will gain knowledge until you feel much more comfortable on the market and you understand how trading really works, then you can consider to use leverage.
Conclusion:
As I said, I want to share only some big points about this topic, because I think many new investors don´t understand how important that topic is!
Safe yourself and have fun in trading and learning!
Sincerely,
TradeandGrow
Trade safe!
Technical Analysis: Technical Indicators (Do You Need Them?)Charts always have a story to tell. However, from time to time those charts may be speaking a language you do not understand and you may need some help from an interpreter. Technical indicators are interpreters of Forex market. *Some traders trade Naked Charts, too each their own!!!
Technical indicators are based on mathematical equations that produce a value that is then plotted on your chart. For example, a moving average calculates the average price of a currency pair in the past and plots a point on your chart.
Technical indicators are divided into the following three categories:
Trending Indicators:Trending indicators, as their name suggests, identify and follow the trend of a currency pair.
Moving Average(s)- Moving averages are the most basic trending indicator.
Bollinger Bands- Shows what direction a currency pair is going but also how volatile the price movement of the currency pair is.
Oscillating Indicators:Oscillating indicators, as their name suggests, are indicators that move back and forth as currency pairs rise and fall.
CCI- show you how bullish or bearish traders are toward a currency pair and how dramatic those sentiments are
MACD- show you when trading momentum changes from being bullish to bearish and from being bearish to bullish.
Slow Stochastic- show you when investor sentiment changes from being bullish to bearish and from being bearish to bullish.
RSI-is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that measures the magnitude of recent price changes.
Volume Indicators: Since currencies are traded on the inter-bank market and not on a central exchange, volume data for currency transactions is not available. Without volume data, you cannot construct volume indicators. Therefore, we do not use volume indicators in Forex trading.
How to import watchlist in TradingView?It will be cumbersome to add each and every share symbol again and again into watchlist especially if 100s of symbols are to be added in watchlist. One simple way to do this is import the entire watchlist. I have taken example of importing Nifty100 stocks into watchlist to explain this process.
• Visit NSE site at www1.nseindia.com
• Home> Products> Indices>About Indices>Broad Market Indices> Nifty 100 Index
• Download List of Nifty100 stocks
• This will be a csv file
• Copy the Symbol Column
• Open a new excel sheet
• Paste the symbol column (use paste values)
• In next column use the formula =Concatenate(“NSE”,”:”,Symbol cell reference )
• Copy this formula for all 100 cells
• Select and copy all 100 cells and in next column use paste values
• Now copy all these 100 cells and in a new cell right click and select paste special
• Select the transpose box at the bottom and click OK
• The cells in vertical range are now in horizontal range
• Copy all these cells in horizontal range
• Open Notepad and paste these copied cells. Save file and close.
• Now, In TradingView open a new watchlist
• On top right side you will see “…” symbol; click on it
• Select import list option and open the notepad that you have saved.
• Done! Your watchlist will import all the symbols.
• Shares whose symbol don’t match exactly with TradingViews symbol wont display any data. So delete these symbols and enter the name
manually for these few shares. In Nifty100 there are only 3 such shares.
8 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR TRADING | Tips From Experienced Trader 🤓
In my years in trading, I’ve been approached by the new and semi-experienced traders for help and advice, and that's how it's supposed to be. Those that «have become» help those aspiring ones.
Then I thought that tens of thousands of people are joining tradingview every day, and most of them are beginners and inexperienced traders, So I decided to share some knowledge here with you today. Condensed wisdom of years in trading. 🦉
You see, trading is unique in that it is accessible to people of all walks of life. Your previous education, social status, and other barriers, that might prevent you from entering some industries are completely absent in trading. The only tool you need is your brain, as trading is essentially an exercise in pattern recognition and our cognition is based on pattern recognition and the endless chain of association.🧠
So the CORE is your ability to learn and recognize patterns, and everything else gets added like pearls on the string. Master these KEY points below, and the Gods of trading might smile at you!
✏️🗒️ MAKE A TRADING PLAN - Develop a strategy!
This bit seems obvious, yet so many traders arrive to this idea only after losing their first account. Don’t be like that, and you will lose your first account much slower. Research all the main strategies that are out there, and dive deep into the one you found appealing(for any reason). This step might take a year or even more, yet, trust me, this will be time well spent. I would advise simple multi-timeframe top-down technical analysis. I might be biased, as that’s the strategy I use myself, but learning it will give you the basics that you will NEED ANYWAY, whichever strategy you will end up using later. Also, I would choose it because it is intuitive and simple to use. You will be able to identify key levels on the chart after a week of staring at the charts and then work your way up, polishing entries, adding indicators if you like.
🔁 Review your plan after every trading session!
After you started trading, even on a demo, DO YOUR HOMEWORK, or else all the trading that you do is in vain, and you will NEVER LEARN. Start your day by reviewing the previous day’s trades, as you will have a fresh perspective that isn’t clouded by emotions of the moment. This WORKS WONDERS! Have a diary with trades, write down your thought process of how you arrived at the particular trade. Then write down your assessment of the next day nearby. Several months' worth of a journal like that is a GOLD MINE, where you can mine data, looking at what works, what does not, etc…
⚠️ DON’T RISK MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE - Protect your positions!
USE STOP LOSS and place it the moment you entered the trade. Don’t let your mind play tricks on you. As your inner voice will tell you «Why SL? I will close that trade manually, If I see that I was wrong» Nah, you won’t. You are kidding yourself. So DO use SL, don’t give your money to the market makers!
💯 Don’t risk more than 5% of the account!
Now that we know we need to use SL, I strongly advise you to never risk more than 5% of your account in one trade. In fact, I do not risk more than 1% per each trade myself. Use a lot calculator to help you determine how much you are risking in dollar value per trade. It is a bit boring, but will save you a ton of money!
And who said trading needs to be fun, huh? You are a grownup and it's your job!
😌 BE DISCRETE AND DISCIPLINED -Once you have the system, don’t overthink it!
After you mastered your system, backtested it on multiple pairs and begin trading on demo, stop worrying about whether the strategy is good or bad. You chose it, it showed results on the backtest, now get out and test it on the market. Time will show if your choice was correct.
📜 Follow the rules and reflect on the results later!
Once the system is chosen, make the rules that are as simple and clear as possible so that you could approach each trade with a ready-made algorithm. This will take a lot of stress off your mind.
💢 CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS - Too much anger or excitement alike hurt your trading!
Having a strict algorithm helps massively, and when trading you need to learn to abstract yourself from the monetary values on the screen. These are just numbers, and you are playing a game of probability, so there will be winning and losing streaks. Learn to treat both with indifference.
🌁 Play it cool!
Trading is a battle of wills. Whoever has the hardest balls wins. So be cool!
⌛️ BE PATIENT - Keep your eyes on the big picture!
When even considering trading as a potential career, please accept the simple fact that there will be losses, a lot of them, all the time. You will NOT be making money for quite some time. Accept it as part of the game and it will be much easier for you physiologically. If you come with the make easy money fast mindset, you will lose!
🏅 Winning takes time!
I’ll stress it again, learning trading will take a lot of time, and there are some hard times ahead of you, so prepare for this beforehand, and no, you are NOT unique or special, so you will have to go through the same trial and error ordeal as others. There are no shortcuts.
✔️ ACCEPT YOUR LOSSES AND MOVE ON - Remember that you are in this for the long haul!
When feeling down because each trade this week was a losing one, imagine yourself free from the location, from your job, from all the constraints that usual people have, and remind yourself, that that’s exactly what you are working towards, because the moment you can make stable returns, you can multiply your income by a factor of x10 overnight. It might be a factor of an x100, it just depends on how big your balls are. So whenever you want to quit, think of what life could have been like if you persisted!
🚫 A loss is a part of the learning process!
You will lose multiple accounts. There is no way around it! This is your way of learning, and no one has created a different one so far. You might be as good as a God on demo, but the moment you enter the real world emotions kick in and you will have to learn a lot again. So when entering trading, be prepared to pay the market a fair price for educating you. And remember that the reward is much greater still!
📰 READ THE NEWS - Current events can affect the markets!
This one is certainly not for beginners! If you start doing that from the start, it will be too much info for you and you will get lost in the constant swirl of hot air that surrounds the markets. But once your strategy is good enough and you are beginning to be profitable, you might want to start paying attention to the key events and dates that might have an effect on your trading. I never actively trade fundamentals myself, but who said that you shouldn't?
🤏 Keep in mind big political events that can cause big moves!
This! If the FOMC meeting is tomorrow, you better close all your positions today, because whatever analysis you made might get invalidated by what the FED minutes bring to the market. We are playing probabilities that we can predict based on past experience, but whoever is trying to predict the FED and the market's reaction to it is fooling themselves, so once such a whale enters the room our ability to predict rationally vanished, thus we need not trade that day at all. And the FOMC is just an obvious example. Important statistical data such as CPI, jobs, etc might affect the pair you are trying to trade, and you better know about it. As a famous trader’s saying goes «Not being in the Market Is a position too»
🆕 UPDATE YOUR TECHNOLOGY - Slow internet connection or an old computer might make you miss your trade!
There is a side note yet do not neglect your workstation. Don't let it be dirty or messy, and make sure your equipment, i.e. a computer or a smartphone work properly. Missing a trade because of a bug is SUCH a pain! You don’t want that, right?
📈And not trading update charts is even worse as some level breakouts can happen in seconds.
That one is less relevant today thanks to tradingview charts being awesome, yet always make sure that the data on the chart is given to you without a delay. Trading a setup that ain’t there anymore is not good…
🦉📚 These are the «words of wisdom» that came to my head today, and I really hope I helped some of you get back on track, or begin your path as a trader with a slightly better understanding of what is ahead of you.
❗️ JUST REMEMBER: IT IS POSSIBLE! But it will take time, money, and effort, so brace yourselves, and may the odds be always in your favor!

YOUR PROFIT FORMULA | Three Essential Ingredients 🤔💭💫
Hey traders, We must admit that it is phenomenally difficult to become a consistently profitable trader.
This journey requires years of practicing and training, constant losses, and nervous breakdowns.
If you are a struggling trader, if you are still looking for your way to succeed in this game, here is the formula that will help you to chase consistent profits.
💰Consistent profits = 📝Trading Strategy + 🤬Emotions + 📈Market Sentiment
Let's discuss each element separately.
📝Trading Strategy:
To be in profit in a long run requires an understanding of what do you actually trade.
You must have strict and objective entry conditions.
You must rely on the objective & verifiable rules for the execution of market analysis.
You must have a plan to follow.
A plan that is backtested and proved its efficiency.
🤬Emotions:
Even the best trading plan, the most accurate trading strategy can be easily beaten by emotions.
Emotional decisions such as revenge trading and early position close
can easily blow the account of any size in a blink of an eye.
The most disappointing thing to note right here is the fact that you can be taught how to execute technical analysis but you can not be taught to control your emotions.
Your main enemy here is yourself and being in a constant battle with your greed and fear it is very easy to go broke.
Only by being humble, disciplined and patient, you can successfully apply a trading strategy.
📈Market Sentiment:
Mastering your emotions and having studied a trading strategy, it looks like it is finally the time to make money.
However, occasionally the market tends to be irrational.
Being chaotic and unpredictable, sometimes the market neglects every technical and fundamental rule.
Crisis, euphoria: the reasons can be different.
The fact is that such things happen.
And it is your duty to learn to deal with unfavorable market conditions.
💰To become a consistently profitable trader, you must become the master of these three elements.
Only then the doors to freedom and independence will be opened to you.
