You’ll be alone in the most difficult times of your life. These times will make you wise and fearless.

Trading is one of the most advanced skills you can develop, its principles apply to all areas of life.

Trading lesson: You can win 5-10-20-50 trades in a row, But you can still lose everything in 1 trade. Risk management will always save your ass.

How to be profitable: Make a plan. Stick to the plan.

It's all possible. That woman. That lifestyle. That business. That physique. It's all there. Keep working.

@alextradesx Kindly share the strategy Alex. Thanks.

I have a profitable strategy. I gave it away for free. I'm trading live every single day, posting my results and discussing my trades. I'm doing this because I know it doesn't matter. I know most of you won't be able to take profits the way I do, most of you won't be able to scale your accounts the way I do. And that's totally fine. You just need more experience, not another strategy or guru to tell you a few lines on a charts will work.

@alextradesx @DutchVandermorg @stonkprice Alex are the spreads in futures are wide like CFD ? Especially Gold and Nasdaq ? Do you use stop loss or hedge your trades ? Do you trail your trade or fixed stop target trades ? Thanks.

@DutchVandermorg @stonkprice You’re right, I actually don’t. Good thing I trade futures.

Trade your system. Take calculated risks. Take profits. Repeat. Don't look back.

How to Keep Your Emotions Out of Your Trading Decisions Revenge trading is often fueled by the emotional response to a loss, pushing traders to make hasty decisions in an attempt to recoup their money quickly. Here Are 7 Essential Pieces of Advice: 1) Pause and Reflect: After a losing trade, take a step back. Emotions like anger or frustration can cloud judgment. Give yourself time to cool off, maybe even a day or two, before making another trade. 2) Review, Don't Revenge: Instead of jumping back into the market with a vengeance, analyze what went wrong. Was it a misjudged market trend, poor risk management, or external news? Use this insight to refine your strategy, not just to chase losses. 3) Set Clear Rules: Establish strict trading rules for yourself, including stop-loss orders, position sizing, and when to exit a trade. Stick to these rules even when you're tempted to break them after a loss. 4) Embrace Losses as Learning: Every loss is a lesson. Successful traders view losses as part of the learning curve, not as personal failures that need avenging. This mindset helps in maintaining discipline and patience. 5) Diversify Your Emotions: If you find yourself too emotionally invested, consider diversifying your emotional outlets. Engage in activities unrelated to trading - exercise, hobbies, or spending time with loved ones can reset your emotional balance. 6) Accountability: Share your trading goals with a mentor or a trading community. Sometimes, knowing someone else is watching can help keep your revenge impulses in check. 7) Simulate Before You Act: If the urge to revenge trade is overwhelming, use a demo account. Simulate the trades you're thinking about in real-time. This can often show you the folly of revenge trading without further financial risk. #CRYPTO #trading $BTC $ETH #forex

Trading isn't just about numbers, charts, or market trends; it's a profound psychological battle. Here's how to gain that elusive edge: - Emotional Discipline: The market will test your patience and restraint. Fear and greed are natural reactions, but successful traders learn to control these emotions. Practice mindfulness or meditation to stay calm under pressure. - Consistency Over Perfection: You won't win every trade, but sticking to a well-tested strategy can yield better results than chasing perfection. Remember, a disciplined approach over time outperforms erratic, emotion-driven decisions. - Risk Management: Know when to cut losses. A good rule of thumb is never to risk more than you can afford to lose on a single trade. This mindset preserves your capital for future opportunities and reduces the stress of potential losses. - Adaptability: The market changes, and so should your strategies. Being dogmatic can lead to downfall. Stay adaptable by continuously learning and adjusting your tactics based on new data and market shifts. - Ego Check: Leave your ego at the door. Trading isn't about proving you're right; it's about making profitable decisions. Admit when you're wrong and move on. The market doesn't care about your pride. - Learn from Losses: Every loss is a lesson. Analyze your trades, understand what went wrong, and refine your approach. This learning curve is where you sharpen your psychological edge. - Patience: Great trades can take time to materialize. Don't rush into positions out of boredom or FOMO. Patience can lead you to catch significant trends others might miss. - Self-awareness: Know your strengths and weaknesses. If you're prone to impulsive decisions, set up checks like stop-losses or trading only at certain times of the day when you're more level-headed. The psychological edge is about mastering your own mind as much as mastering the market. It's an ongoing process, not a one-time achievement. Keep refining your mental game, and you'll find that the market reacts not just to your trades but to your enhanced trading psyche. #TradingPsychology #MentalEdge #Crypto $BTC $ETH

@QTrader_Pro @itsdrdollar For example gold spread is say 23 average and commission round trip 4. One trade buy and sell costs 50 USD. So what should be profit target and stop loss for Gold (just an example) for scalping to be profitable. Profit to cost of trading (scalping) is extremely high isnt it ?

Leverage is not a problem if you are good at computing your position size based on your allowable risk per trade and if you are discipline enough to follow your strategy without exception. Spread and slippage should already be computed in your profit target so that your total net reward is at least above 1:1

Scalping is better than swing trading. Change my mind.

@j_stredder Waiting for good set up ? The right side of the chart is unknown isnt it ? What it really mean wait for good set up ?

Haven’t seen a good setup at all this past week, and therefore took no trades. I actually wonder what percentage of traders have the patience and discipline to follow their rules, when they don’t see a setup every day. Trading is 99% waiting, 1% executing.

@j_stredder 2 percent risk per trade is too much isnt it ?

My max loss per trade is 2%. It will take me roughly 2 months of losing day after day to blow up. Manage risk. Period.

@FlicksAndFooty @j_stredder @itsdrdollar Except for news 4 other of his points are valid isnt it ?

@j_stredder @itsdrdollar I have counter arguments against each of these points, but since You said “in my opinion,” I wouldn’t. 👍

@QTrader_Pro @itsdrdollar Leverage is double edged sword it can amplify both profit as well losses. Spread commission slippage adds up. How to avoid or handle that ?

@itsdrdollar Yep, time money. , What swing traders can do in a week, intraday traders can more in a day with proper position sizing, thanks to leverage.

Stop fearing retracements. Price never follows a straight line. Trust your system. Trust your plans.
