Five Things Successful Traders Do

1. Execution of Trading Strategy

Through many years of working on a trading desk and talking to customers and banks, I didnt see much of a difference in the actual trading strategies between our trading desk, the trading desk at a bank, our institutional/professional traders, or our retail trader. Everyone has the same access to charting, technical analysis and pricing analysis.
Professional traders do not simply limit themselves to technical analysis. They know their own trading very well: their tendencies, how much they are comfortable risking, how to minimize their bad trades while maximizing their good trades. Its more than even that. Good professional traders have scenario analysis that gives them further analysis on their own trading: expectancy, confidence, equity moving average, etc.
Professional traders also tend to look at a potential trade through the lens of many different trading strategies and many types technical analysis. They also have a pulse on the fundamentals behind the products they are trading. They eat, sleep and breathe the markets.

2. Big Picture Oriented

A professional trader and a retail trader might be trading the same strategy and looking at the same chart to make a trade, but the professional trader is looking at many other things to determine the viability of a trade before entering the trade. There is no fear of missing a trade. The professional trader lets the trade come to themthey are not chasing trades.
So what are professional traders looking at that retail traders often ignore? Professional traders are looking at long and short term charts and analysisand they ask themselves what could happenhow could this trade go wronghow much could I lose on this trade?
A professional trader looks beyond this trade and is more concerned with the overall market. What could hinder me from hitting my limit? What could cause the market to move against me? When might I need to cut my losses? They arent waiting until they are in position to think through these thingsthey are asking these questions before making the trade.

3. More Discipline

Enough cannot be said about discipline in trading (or any endeavor). The best traders, professional or retail, are all very disciplined. Looking at the last two things that make people better traders, the best traders do their research before entering the trade.
The best traders know why they are in a trade. They know when they are going to get out of a trade. They work orders. Why? Because they have seen what can happen when you dont work orders. They work stops and let those stops fill if they are due to be filled.
A less disciplined trader will pull their stop because they just know that the currency, stock, commodity is going to go their direction. They just dont want to miss out, or maybe, they just cant stomach losing on another trade.

4. Oversight

Most professional traders answer to someone. There is a boss, an investor, another trader. There is almost always someone that a professional trader has to answer to and make a case for each and every trade. Sometimes, they dont have to make a case of the trade beforehand, but they will need to answer questions if the trade goes bad.
Those questions are almost always around the other points of this article. Didnt you see that the daily chart was showing this and was clearly a strong trend in the opposite direction? Where was your stop order to protect from this happening? You risked 100 ticks to gain 10? Why did you take the trade? Why did you move your stop?
Trust me. These are just a tip of the iceberg in terms of questions asked when a trade goes sour. It is a very uncomfortable time, and the trader needs answers to why they did everything.
My point is this: How many retail traders have to make a case to someone before making a trade? Sometimes, it is good to get someone elses opinions on a product before trading it. After working on the desk for 9 years, I found that my fellow traders hardly ever agreed with my analysis. At the very least, they had very good insight that I was missing.

5. Patient and Calculated

Professional traders are very competitive and very confident. The best traders wait until the odds are stacked in their favor before trading. I love the Jim Rogers quote: I just wait until there is money lying in the corner, and all I have to do is go over there and pick it up. I do nothing in the meantime.
Like I said earlier, the best traders let the trades come to them and dont go chasing after trades. They are patient. They are calculating. They take risks and lose money, but the money they lose is calculated beforehand. The risk of them losing is small, as is the amount of money being risked.
The point of all of this is that you dont need tighter spreads to be more profitable. You probably dont even need better charts or a new trading strategy.
Most likely, all you might need is more insight and better discipline on applying that insight. Just like most things in life, more knowledge is a great thing, but discipline can really reap positive rewards.

♦ ♦ ♦ TRADE LESS BETTER ♦ ♦ ♦

"Successful trading is counter-intuitive. Trading less better is counter intuitive. For most of our lives we've been taught to work hard & if that's not working to try harder. This mindset is perilous in trading.

Before we look at how trading less makes you more successful, lets look at the cost of trading more frequently:

 

1. You pay more commission which adds up to a significant percentage of your profits
2. You take fewer high probability trades which decreases your win percentage
3. Youre exposed to more risk which leads to larger draw downs
4. You end up thinking less rationally and responding more emotionally
5. You have less of a life. Sitting behind your screens for 10hrs a day isn't much different from an 8 to 5 job.
6. It's more stressful.

♦ THE UGLY TRUTH ♦
While most traders agree with the list above, they still struggle to let go of over-trading and trading smaller time frames. Why?

There are a few reasons, but the primary logic is, If I trade less, I wont make as much money or I need to make a lot of money quickly so I need to find as many trading opportunities as possible. This desire to make money & lots of it (quickly) is so strong that it outweighs all the logical reasons for us to trade less frequently.

However the ironic thing is that if you really want to make money and make it quickly, you need to trade less in order to trade better.

♦ How can you trade less better? ♦

1. Trade on 4hr and Daily charts. You will find plenty of profitable opportunities on these higher time frames.
2. Only trade high probability setups. Wait for the obvious, easy-money, no-brainer setups.
3. Wait for the market to give you the best price. Our fear of missing out often causes us to jump into trades prematurely. Wait for price to reach extreme levels or for the continuation of a trend before entering.
4. Try limiting the number of trades you take per day or per week. Knowing you're only allowed 2 trades a day, makes you more selective with the quality of setups that you trade.

♦ Benefits of trading less better ♦

1. By applying the points above, you will find a significant change in your trading results:
2. Your cost per trade will be less & commissions lower, making you more profitable per trade
3. By taking higher probability trades, your win percentage will increase
4. You will have more time in between trades, allowing you to trade rationally & thoughtfully, avoiding impulsive and revengeful trade entries.
5. You will be less stress
6. You will get your life back. You'll be able to think more clearly and have more time to work on your systems, psychology and money management. You'll also get more time away from the charts, which makes for a healthier person and trader. "

BY FXCOACH

IMO: The article above are for traders (not robots) who aims to be a full time successful trader, and not depending on any day job (but it can be both - read more). Though the article mentioned higher time frame gives plenty of profitable opportunities, it is proven fact based on professional trader experience, and based on the subject... "Trade Less Better" ; )-

Not all retail traders are successful using lower time frame setup and at the same time, trade less without a day job to depend on... but not unless you have a big equity fund so that your trading account have a good buffer or less equity but trade with less lot size entry (less gain so you still need a day job)... or maybe less equity fund but using the day job as your buffer. The same goes of course with traders using higher time frame.

We all have different paths or timelines and learning curve in order to be a successful trader. With this article, it gives more sense to practice more in precision.. like an elite chess player who aims to be a world chess champion or a professional athlete who practice or compete with some competition to be champion or win gold in the Olympics. Thus, "Trade Less Better" does not mean we need to practice less ; )- and once we found that edge over the market, we need to continue practicing, in order to keep that edge over the market... then trading less but in precision.
