Lessons from an Experienced Trader Lessons from an experienced trader. Lesson 1. Never scalp. Although scalping seems to be the most profitable and best method in today's market, it is certainly not. Scalping is the hardest method to achieve a consistent performance. High frequency trading firms scalp, but they have many advantages over the retail trader including direct access to exchanges, highly developed algorithms with no emotions, and extremely low costs to name a few. When you are scalping you are competing against these firms or trying to manually do what they do with a computer. This above is only one problem. The bigger issue is the risk involved. When scalping, you must use a wide stop and be willing to scale in. One bad trade will erase 20 or more good trades. You must be extremely proficient at reading price charts, and be able to act without hesitation. This is virtually impossible for anyone who has not been trading for at least 3 years and has done extensive work on himself to develop the ability to flow with the market, constantly, without any internal conflict. And worst of all, scalping leads to bad habits. Once you get into the mindset of "get out quick" it is very hard to correct down the road. This makes swing trading more difficult later on after you realize it is a better method. Lesson 2. Swing Trade the best setups Swing trading is much more forgiving than scalping, offers a larger reward, and allows for a smaller risk (usually). This makes it much easier to make money long term. When swing trading you only have to win on around 40% of your trades to make a profit. If you can develop the patience to wait for strong setups, you can increase the winning percentage to anywhere from 50-70% and greatly increase your traders equation. A swing trading approach is also more forgiving when it comes to reading price charts. Some of those who discuss Price Action would lead you to believe you can predict what the markets are going to do next. This is simply not true, no matter how good you are at reading a chart. There is always a degree of randomness in the market, with any edge, any setup, or any context. When swing trading, you can afford to be wrong and make mistakes. So what setups should a swing trader take? Well, it depends if you want to always in trade or swing trade with signal bar stops. Either is fine, although an always in approach takes more practice and is harder to get right until you are good at reading charts. An always in trader has two choices. One to take every logical reversal (hardest to accomplish), and constantly reverse when necessary. Or two; wait for the always in direction to be clear and enter any in any fashion until the market flips. The second method is easier, although still tough, and slightly less profitable. An always in trader does not trade when prices are in a trading range. The reward is simply too low, and there are too many reversals to take and that fail, resulting in repeated losses and increased commission costs. What about a swing trader? A swing trader typically uses a signal bar stop, but can also use a swing stop to increase his probability. A swing trader does not have to take every trade he sees (unlike the first always in trader). In fact, it is best to wait for the best and clearest setups. What setups are these? High 2's, Low 2's (large) reversals and flags, Wedge reversals and flags, failed breakouts, and failed reversals. The first two are much easier to identify correctly for someone with less experience. The later two often trick newer traders, or fail once or twice before succeeding, making it a bit harder to get right. Lesson 3. Work on your self Like discussed before, most new traders and even those who have been around but haven't reached consistency believe that eventually you can read prices well enough to predict what will happen next. It does not matter how long you have traded, you will never predict the market. If it were possible to do so, the market would cease to exist! So instead of only focusing on reading charts and price action, you must work on your self. You must understand your strengths and weaknesses. You must be aware of your emotions and how they affect your performance. If you do not believe your emotions are directly related to your performance, you will not achieve consistency long term. We are all humans, a computer cannot do what I do. And you cannot remove emotions, no matter how hard you try to do so. So what is the alternative? Develop awareness of them, and use them to your advantage! It is as plain and simple as this. Trading requires you to understand your self, on a deep and internal level. You must be in tune with your self and the market. If you chose to ignore this fact, you may succeed temporarily, but it is only a matter of time before your performance diminishes. In order to make a lot of money, you must feel you deserve it. If you do not work on yourself, this simply will not happen. Does a professional athlete become a star by waiting around for his coach to tell him what to do? No. He dedicates himself in every possible way to his sport, including conditioning his mind to outperform his competition. Rather than waiting 2 or 3 years before realizing this, start working on your self from the very beginning. Not only will you become a better trader faster, you will become a better person; a better you.

ZENBTC Price Analysis: ArisingHorizen has been laying low, but some key announcements reignited interest in the project. Horizen has a bullish short-term bias against BTC, with the ZEN / BTC pair correcting back towards the April monthly trading high ZEN / BTC pair has a bullish medium-term trading outlook A large inverted head and shoulders pattern is present across the daily time frame Horizen / Bitcoin Short-term price analysis ZEN has a bullish short-term trading bias against BTC, with the ZEN / BTC pair trading well above its 200-period moving average on the four-hour time frame. The four-hour time frame is showing that the ZEN / BTC pair is gaining bullish trading momentum and attempting to correct back towards the April monthly trading high. Technical indicators are bullish on the four-hour time frame, although they are starting to appear overstretched. Pattern Watch Traders should note that an inverted head and shoulders pattern will form on the four-hour time frame if bulls move price back towards the April trading high. Relative Strength Index The RSI indicator on the four-hour time frame is bullish, although it has moved into overbought territory. MACD Indicator The MACD indicator on the four-hour time frame is also bullish, although it is starting to appear overstretched. Fundamental Analysis In April, Horizen partnered with Horizen Labs which has raised 4$ million from Digital Currency Group (DCG) and Liberty City Ventures. Horizen Labs will be working with businesses to help them build their own sidechains on top of the Horizen’s public blockchain. This is likely the reason why ZEN’s price has been growing for the past several weeks. Horizen / Bitcoin Medium-term price analysis ZEN has a bullish bias against BTC over the medium-term, with the ZEN / BTC pair trading back above its 200-day moving average. The daily time frame shows a large inverted head and shoulders pattern, with buyers rallying the ZEN / BTC pair back above the neckline of the bullish pattern. Technical indicators across the daily time frame are currently rising and issuing a strong bullish signal. Pattern Watch Traders should note that the November 18th, 2018 swing high is the overall upside target of the inverted head and shoulders pattern on the daily time frame. Relative Strength Index The RSI indicator is also bullish on the daily time frame, although it is approaching overbought territory. MACD Indicator The MACD indicator is bullish on the daily time frame and is currently generating a strong buy signal. Fundamental Analysis Horizen looks interesting on the fundamental level. It has a good development team and plans a number of technological improvements to its platform in 2019. Along with Horizen Labs the project can potentially increase the level of adoption of its platform, which can have a positive effect on the value of the network in the medium term. Conclusion ZEN is growing increasingly bullish against BTC over both time frames as the cryptocurrency attempts to recover from last month’s trading losses. If bulls can maintain the bullish momentum and continue to rally the ZEN / BTC pair, a much stronger rally towards the November 18th swing high may occur.
