Trading better today, and every day, is key to consistent trading success. As past performance is no guarantee for future results, what would you do differently today for trading success? Which one thing would you focus on today to be a better trader? What did you learn last week that you would apply this week for better trading results?

I am starting this thread to focus on the central purpose of FF: To learn and to share. Over 90% of FF members joined FF primarily because of that purpose. However, along the line some members tend to come to a dangerous position of overconfidence, to the point that there is nothing else they feel they can learn; and worse, demonizing other fellow traders for taking positions contrary to theirs. This thread wants to be different. The thread is open to FF members who share the value of continuous improvement and careful trading to share their trading experience and ideas. But let's keep things simple and direct; let's avoid being recklessly judgmental, exhibitionist or offensive/abusive. Let's do things by the FF code of ethics, with emphasis on respect for fellow members. If you are sharing videos, charts, pictures or any form of attachments, please add a summary statement that simply makes the point you are conveying.

Trading better today, and every day, is key to consistent trading success. What did you learn last week that could enhance your trading this week? For me, one thing I learnt last week is to maser a few pairs and trade less of them.

Trading better today, and every day, is key to consistent trading success. What would you do differently today for trading success? For me, earlier today, I failed to get clarity on the EG I went southward on before I did. A lesson for me, which I need to apply for trading success in future is: Wait for clarity; let the market decide what it wants to do.

What have you learned today that could help you trade better tomorrow? For me, today I learn how to use fewer MAs. As I have not yet mastered trading naked charts, I rely on the use of MAs. I am now learning to use two MAs instead of four.

I should never trade when I'm emotionally unstable - meaning if i'm under stress, or I just had a fight, or generally in bad mood. Because my emotions overshadow the logic and clear thinking resulting in bad trading habits and losses.

For your awareness, I already published this idea in an another thread "Really Useless Thread" (which I encourage you to visit because there is a Master person Mr Sisse who provides an amazing stuff). It's only my view, a view of a newbie with little experience.
I learned that the market is so manipulated by big players and we, retailers, have to find our way to have a "nano" profit with them.
For instance I think the current market context has one thyme: weakening/devaluating the US $ until Fall (US election).

Never deviate from your system. After some success, you will be tempted to outsmart the markets (which you can't). Have a definable set of rules and stick with them. Being consistent, slow and steady is vital.

1 Stick to your plan - not easy but can be done
2 Screenshot every trade, winners and losers, review your trading each day, week and month.
3. Print your losers out and see if you can find any patterns


Tip - looking back over periods of trades, you will see a different perspective

Tip - after decades of trading- there are 2 reasons a trade has not worked out - the markets proved you wrong or the trader did something wrong. Occasionally there will be brokers issues.
