I trade once or twice a month. Making an average of 10 percent per trade. No errors. No indicators. Easy on your blood pressure but not a huge payout.

An upgrade would be being able to trade daily with the same level of profitability which I think is impossible tbh. But would love to see other comments.

1.- Read the price and Buy/Sell the unbalance in the price + maybe limit orders for better entrys

2.- Manage the trade after is running, close it when it turns back on ya (trailing/break even/partial close, etc you name it)

3.- Do exactly the same every single time (read the price, its all in there).. And YES is that simple


Done.. anything else is overthinking/waste of time, enjoy the $$$

You can create the most incredible technical charts, complete with awesome alerts, a good platform, and low spreads, and still lose money. Because you still have to make a decision and click the mouse. I tend to think that trading is more impacted by a person's judgment, emotional control, distractions, timing, patience, aversion to risk taking, risk management, and other things to be successful long term. It's more about YOU and your decision making than it is about all the peripheral stuff.

I quit trading all of the various forex pairs and simply stick with XAUUSD.

On the stock market I have quit chasing all of the 10,000 stocks out there and finally settled on trading an index and have been profitable or broke even almost every day since. I only trade TQQQ and do just fine.

After cutting out the clutter and after chasing anything that moves, I started to become profitable almost immediately. I might still jump into a meme stock or something once in a while but TQQQ has become my bread and butter.

I thought to my self, if only I knew what TQQQ was!

It seems you are trading a leveraged ETF over the Nasdaq 100 Index. What platform are you using and what are the benefits over the Nasdaq with an MT4 broker?
Good Trading

yes it's an ETF but basically tracks the Nasdaq so it is just like trading an index. For that I trade using a US broker Fidelity.

Personally once i entered the trade i will let it hit TP or SL no matter what, unless my Daily pivot is broken into other direction, that's when i exit the trade prematurely and change bias and commit the new trade in new direction.

We never know there are times the trade turned against us but not yet hit SL, only to move to your direction and hit TP, exiting that early may have missed the TP.
And then trailing stop will get hit when the price reversed sharply to the other direction, compare to a fixed R&R ratio, in the long run i believe they are more or less the same, in trailing sometime you get more, sometimes you get less, average out the result would be similar to fixed R&R method, except that managing trailing means more headache and might cause analysis paralysis.

Wish to get some input from you on managing trade.

Grid and money management,most stable way to trade,adopt grid for market conditions,for example on eur usd on start of europian session make grid for trending condition,also no martingale and control your drawdown.fundamental is worst way because every situation is different,I think its hard to make strategy on fundamental analisys.After many years I make perfect strategy,and it is simple,simplier than most grid EA standart settings,no lot increasing no indicators

If this happen you are placing the trade "late" thats why it reverse on you and then resume the direction; you are either waiting for too much "confirmation" OR have a flaw/problem in the analysis

Hehe, read above; when you pick the "unbalance" its very hard that the market turn itself against you by a lot, it almost always goes in your favor at least for some green pips

Yes, pretty much but over a looong series of trade it tend to have a little better R:R than a fixed TP (sometimes you can catch nice runners, but generally speaking that should NOT be the goal)

Managing a trade should be 100% mechanical, made by a tool/ea/robot you name it, your only job should be to read the price and confirm the steps before clicking buy/sell (if you like to manual trade) and let the rest be done by the computer =)

I trade with renko charts so everything is symmetrical and never change (the construction of the chart its with fixed rules, the bricks are the same size, etc) fairly simple to "forecast" where its going to move ONCE you know how to read the OHLC.. based on this i can read and watch clearly when there is an "unbalance" and react accordingly

Again, because of this chart i can use those trade management techniques more efficiently, unlike a time based chart where every candle its "random" sized.. thats way harder to manage, at least for me (hey, why complicate yourself when there is an "easier" way to do it?)

1. BUY and hold MSFT stock. No leverage so you can keep it forever.

or

2. See here example when BUY and hold MSFT with leverage 1:5.. just as an example of what is possible:

Quoting gepards
Buy and hold Microsoft CFD - #MSFT every 12 days. If you would be started in 2007 with 100 USD capital and no matter what buy 0.1 lots every 12 days (Leverage for stocks CFD is 1:5) and never close deals. As your equity grows - make more lots per deal accordingly. Then today would have in account 226000 USD. Maximum drawdown 90%... Margin almost to stop out level. All or nothing.. I run EA to simulate this "strategy" from various dates - never fail. It survived 2008 crisis. And 2018 stocks drop and 2020 covid crash. {image} Do you believe in Microsoft...
MSFT is the best stock for this strategy. Do not trust me .... search info in google and then will understand why..

Always buy low! It's that simple.

I got stuck in the trap that is FX for years! I had to learn the hard way.

One day it occurred to me to zoom out. Yes, FX is 'the biggest market in the world,' but that doesn't mean it's ripe with opportunities.

The leverage + phony market (market orders only) is designed to bleed you dry. That is the business of retail FX. Now Crypto is sucking in the newbies.

I would argue, with 15 years of market experience behind me, that there might be a great FX setup once every few years or less. You think I'm nuts. I'm talking about the kind of setup where you don't need leverage to get a great return. Much of the everyday movements are noise.

I'm the orderflow fanatic and I found the ultimate answer in that quest.

Systems dynamics says the structure of a system determines its behavior. In trading, market microstructure reveals how the game must be played for profits to become possible.

Spend some time pondering what you would need to be profitable if you had a $100M trading account. You would need to operate within the structure of the market, and indeed, take advantage of the structure and its implications.

And knowing the mechanical structure isn't enough. You need to keep in mind and appreciate the gaming and social structure of the market as well.

If you are new, embed the market into your mind and run trade simulations as thought experiments.

For instance, what happens when you want to buy a low float stock, but you want to buy a lot and still get a good price? How do you make that happen? What market conditions do you need? What kind of orders do you use? How much volume do you absorb per trade, per day, think this through. What happens if your bid is too big? What happens when you market order is too big? When you have a large position, how do you unwind it profitably?

Contemplate structure!!!
