I would stop jumping from one method to another. I've lost so many years looking for the best indicator, while the money was around the corner. Control the risk, be patient and disciplined and you can make money with any method.
That is one wise decision. Find a method and strategy that works for you and spend some time developing it. Then stick to your guns, no matter what some people say.

I would want to stick to my plan and add more to it, I would not want to always change plan anytime things go wrong. I believe things will work out well when we are consistent.

Hello,

What I slowly learned last week:

1. Having a proven trading system the utmost requirement to trading.

2. Collecting the right data when journal is 2nd utmost requirement to trading.

3. Knowing your system drawdown is the 3rd utmost requirement to trading. This gives you confidence over the long road to repeatable profitability.

This is where I am at right now.

it is a process of constant learning, learn from each trade whether you win or lose. develop your own strategy that suits your style of trading, always develop a system in which you have a better risk to reward ratio, kill the fear when you are trading according to your plan.

Good contribution, Tpak. It is important to review trades taken within a 24-hour cycle if you are an intraday trader. If you are a swing trader, it is beneficial to review each trade as soon as it has ended, at least before you take the next trade.

Tpak, great simple advice.

My question is why "always develop a system in which you have a better risk to reward ratio"? I would think a lower risk to reward ratio, and high win ratio would also results to profitability as well.

Just curious you response and logic.

Thanks

i mean to say, if you are taking risk of 1$ your reward should be more than 1$. in day trading it is not possible to win all the trades. so in this case even if you lose 50% trades, still you will be in profit. eg. your risk reward ratio is 1$:2$, you take made 10 trades , won 5 lost 5, your 5 wining trades will give you 10$ and your 5 losing trades will cost you 5$, so you will still be in with a profit of 5$.

What has changed recently is in the way I analyse the market. I now incorporate market mode in my analysis and set trade scenarios that consider both the market mode and the market direction.

I made a load of mistakes while starting Forex trading a couple of years ago. If I were to advise a newbie, I will have to say that security of trading capital should be the utmost consideration. The money will come after mastering an efficient trading system and trading in a disciplined, patient manner. Trade safe and prosper.

Don't use lower time frames. It's for mugs.
Good trading is gains without pain. If you believe that trading is "no pain no gain" then you are not in the zone.

Hi mate! I respectfully wish to express a different opinion. You have to use lower time frames in combination with higher time frames. It's a powerful strategy, if you know what you are doing.

Really? There are pains in trading. Read the book on 'Market Wizards' or ask around on the FF platform. How you manage the pains to make the gains is about developing a profitable market edge.

Trade safe and prosper.

If you don't know how to effectively handle and manage the pains involved in the FX trading business, including using the pains to gain a competitive edge in the market, you won't go far in the business. Trade safe and prosper.
