10 Rules for Successful Trading1. Study. Learn how financial markets work. Years ago I took Khan Academy's free courses on the financial markets. It really helped reinforce what I already knew, taught me new stuff and solidified my confidence in understanding how the financial markets work. Here's the link: www.khanacademy.org Learn the basics of Technical Analysis. For this part I read "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" by John Murphy. I read the whole book not once, but twice, and I constantly refer to it to refresh my memory. You can also get the supplemental workbook to do exercises and test your proficiency. Link: www.amazon.com Learn the basics of Macroeconomics and Microeconomics. Khan Academy also provides excellent free courses in this subject area with quizzes and tests to confirm your proficiency. This part is important for understanding the big picture. Link: www.khanacademy.org 2. Develop a trading plan. Write out your trading plan step-by-step and follow it every time. If you don't do this, you won't be consistently profitable in the long term. Never trade on a whim, even if you fear missing out on a big move. I would rather miss out on a big move up because I took the time to develop a plan than jump in without a plan and experience a big move down. Here's a good resource for how to develop a trading plan: www.ig.com 3. Find a trading mentor. Find someone who is more experienced than you and learn from them. I was able to connect with a very experienced trader here on Trading View with whom I share watchlists and get trade ideas from. We chat regularly and confirm or critique each other's ideas. Having a trading mentor has been invaluable to my trading. It's important to find someone who is trustworthy and competent, and willing to critique your trading ideas. Often we as traders only see what we want to see in the chart and miss or ignore obvious clues that go against our theory. For example, what one person sees as a triple bottom (bullish) another person may see as a bear flag (bearish). Another way to learn from other traders is to subscribe to traders who post high-quality content on Youtube. I subscribe to a few great trading Youtubers who give me all kinds of insights. My trading has definitely improved because of learning from other traders. With this said, don't go overboard. Find just a couple of good people to follow. You don't want to follow dozens and dozens of traders as you will suffer from information overload. 4. Manage risk. Preserving your capital is necessary to stay in the game, so you need to manage risk. No matter how good your charting may be, some of your trades will go against you and will need to get out. That's why I always use stop losses and get out of a trade at a certain predetermined level. Stop losses always limit loss, but do not necessary limit profit. This in turn allows you to only be right half of the time (or in some cases even less) and still be profitable. The topic of stop losses actually warrants it own discussion. In the future, I will be writing a post on how to place your stop losses. Other risk management strategies include: limiting the amount of margin you use, only risking a certain percentage of your portfolio on any given trade, and diversifying your portfolio. A key difference between trading and investing is that investing does not (typically) employ stop losses. Long-term investors typically manage risk by using diversification. 5. Be humble. Check your ego at the door. It does not matter if you're right. The only thing that matters is your money. Never stay in a trade because you don't want to admit that you were wrong. I've seen plenty of charts that looked amazing and then a black swan event happens. Perhaps one of the best ways to think about it is to consider this paraphrased statement from the legendary trader Larry Williams: "Regardless of past performance, never forget that every new trade you make only has a 50% chance of success." I have seen some Trading View users who are completely consumed by pride and post their win rates and super high-profit percentages. I steer clear of these traders because they fail one major rule of good trading: staying humble. Past performance is not a guarantee of future performance. 6. Keep a journal. This one is very important. Whenever I learn something new about trading, I write it down in a trading notebook. Whenever I make a mistake, I write down what went wrong and what I learned from the mistake. My trading notebook contains my strategies both for bear markets and bull markets, contains the steps for my daily routine, contains my screener criteria, and contains a listing of all the important things I've picked up over the years of trading. 7. Track your assets. Employ some kind of a method for tracking your performance. Even though it's time-consuming, I use a spreadsheet. 8. Avoid speculation. Never trade based on speculation or emotion. Never buy or sell an asset because of fear (whether fear of a market crash or fear of missing out on a huge rally). Never enter into a position simply because you like the company, and similarly do not avoid selling your position because you love the company too much. The most successful traders are rigorously unemotional and unattached. In my opinion, I define anything that does not involve an analysis of data as speculation. I have also come to learn that by the time everyone is talking about something, it is usually at peak mania and will not go up further. For example, when your co-worker or close friend is talking about how much they made from Bitcoin, it's probably time to sell. Similarly, if you see everyone on social media posting photos of how much it costs to fill up their car with gas, it probably means we're at the peak of gas prices. 9. Learn how to use your charting platform. One of the best things I ever did to master my charting was to spend a few weeks doing nothing but just learning all the features on Trading View. When I first signed up for Trading View I was overwhelmed by all the tools, indicators, strategies, and ideas on here. So I knew I had to take a timeout from trading and just learn the tools first. For several weeks rather than focus on trading, I focused on learning Trading View. I favorited indicators that work best for my strategy, I created layouts and explored every nook and cranny on the platform. Trading View is incredibly powerful because it provides access to so much data. Having access to data is power. By taking the time to learn how to use all of its tools, I was able master the financial markets to a degree that I can now make predictions just good as those high-paid Wall Street analysts. Your subscription will pay for itself through the profits you make. 10. "Look first. Then leap." Always chart out your entry point, stop loss, and profit target before entering a trade. Ask yourself: How much risk am I willing to take for how much profit? Here's a great resource from Investopedia that inspired this post: www.investopedia.com This list of good trading rules is nowhere near comprehensive, so please leave a comment below to share your rules and tips for successful trading!

HOW-TO apply an indicator that is only available upon request?Recently, I've realized that my typical day involves constant encounters with indicators. For example, when the alarm clock rings, it's an indicator that it's morning and time to get up. I am checking the phone and once again paying attention to the indicators: battery charge and network signal level. I figure out in just one second that such a complex element of the phone as the battery is 100% charged and the signal from the cell towers is good enough. Then I’m going out on a busy street, and it's only because of the traffic light indicator that I can safely cross the road to reach the parking lot. Looking at the on-board computer of my car, with its many indicators, I know that all the components of this complicated mechanism are working properly, and I can start driving. Now, imagine what would happen if none of this existed. I would have to act blindly, relying on luck: hoping that I would wake up on time, that the phone would work today, that car drivers would let me cross the road, and that my own car would not suddenly stop because it ran out of gas. We can say that indicators help to explain complex processes or phenomena in simple and understandable language. I think they will always be in demand in today's complex world, where we deal with a huge flow of information that cannot be perceived without simplifications. If we talk about the financial market, it's all about constant data, data, data. Add in the element of randomness and everything becomes totally messed up. To create indicators that simplify the analysis of financial information, the TradingView platform uses its own programming language — Pine Script . With this language, you can describe not only unique indicators, but also strategies — meaning algorithms for opening and closing positions. All these tools are grouped together under the term "script" . Just like a trade or educational idea, a script can also be published. After this, it will be available to other users. The published script can be: 1. Visible in the list of community scripts with unrestricted access. Simply find the script by its name and add it to the chart. 2. Visible in the list of community scripts, but access is by invitation only. You'll need to find the script by its name and request access from its author. 3. Not visible in the list of community scripts, but accessible via a link. To add such a script to a chart, you need to have the link. 4. Not visible in the list of community scripts; access is by invitation only. You'll need both a link to the script and permission for access obtained from its author. If you have added to your favorites a script that requires permission from the author, you'll only be able to start using the indicators after the author includes you in the script's user list. Without this, you will get an error message every time you add an indicator to the chart. In this case, contact the author to learn how to gain access. Instructions on how to contact the author are located after the script's description and highlighted within a frame. There you will also find the 'Add to favorite indicators' button. The access can be valid until a certain date or indefinitely. If the author has granted access, you will be able to add the script to the chart.

EURUSD Is ready for the big bullish run towards 1.1050!On Thursday, EUR/USD faced a significant decline of almost a hundred pips, marking its worst day in months. The Euro weakened broadly, while the US Dollar showed a mixed performance due to softer inflation and a balanced labor market in the US. Daily chart indicators suggest a downside, though the overall trend remains upward, albeit with reduced momentum. A close above 1.1000 would indicate potential for more gains, while a drop below 1.0780 could shift the bias. On the 4-hour chart, EUR/USD broke an uptrend line and is testing the 1.0890 support, with the next target at 1.0860. A break could focus on 1.0830, likely attracting buyers. Technical indicators lean negative, and the RSI approaches oversold levels, suggesting potential consolidation around 1.0900. To remove the short-term bearish bias, the Euro needs to rise above the 20-period SMA at 1.0960. The pair experienced its most significant decline in over a month, correcting from three-month highs above 1.1000, reaching a bottom at 1.0883, with a potential for short-term consolidation. Eurozone CPI rose 2.4% YoY in November, below October's 2.9%, marking the slowest annual increase since July 2021. Speculation arises about a potential ECB rate cut as inflation approaches the 2% target. The Euro lagged in the market for two consecutive days, especially against the Swiss Franc. Final Manufacturing PMI readings and a rebound in US Treasury yields supported the US Dollar despite mixed US data. Inflation remained above the Federal Reserve's target, while rising Continuing Jobless Claims indicated a softer labor market. On Friday, the release of US data, including the ISM Manufacturing PMI, is scheduled.

BTC - Market Structure 101 📚 Keeping It SimpleHello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders, 📊 I find the BTC H1 chart interesting as it has been respecting the market structure cleanly inside the rising channel recently. 📈 As the price approaches the lower bound of the channel, the bulls are taking control for an impulse after breaking above the last high in blue and the 21 EMA. 📉 Conversely , as the price nears the upper bound of the channel, the bears take charge for a correction after breaking below the last low in green and the 21 EMA. Today, BTC rejected the upper bound and broke below the green low and 21 EMA, signaling that the bears are currently in control. 📉 The bears are expected to maintain control, and we anticipate a movement towards the lower bound of the channel. 📈 However , a shift in momentum could occur if the bulls regain control by breaking above the red channel and reaching 38,100. In such a scenario, we would anticipate a bullish continuation towards the upper bound of the rising channel. What are your thoughts? Do you believe BTC will continue to adhere to this simple market structure? 📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck! All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Richard Nasr

EURUSD Ready for the big short towards 1.089The EUR/USD experienced a decline after four consecutive days of gains, stabilizing just below 1.1000, while the US Dollar seeks to recover. On Thursday, Eurozone inflation data could disappoint expectations downward, while the US will release the core PCE index and weekly jobless claims. A daily close well above 1.1010 could pave the way for further gains. A decisive break below 1.0960 would indicate further losses, with the next support at 1.0920, near an upward trendline. Key resistance is at 1.1000, while additional recent highs could lead to resistance at 1.1070. The inflation situation in Europe indicates a slowdown, with German and Spanish data falling below expectations. Overall, the positive trend of the ECB may be influenced by additional inflation data. The US economy showed stronger growth in the third quarter than previously estimated, bolstering the Dollar. On Thursday, US data on Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) and weekly jobless claims could further influence the Dollar, especially if they highlight further slowing of inflation and the labor marke

XAUUSD Is it time to go down? Target 2026!Gold Trend: The price of gold appears to be in an upward phase, testing $2,050 per troy ounce. This could be influenced by various factors, including expectations regarding inflation, the strength of the dollar, and the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve. Role of the Dollar: Although the US dollar is showing signs of recovery, it remains generally weak. Hopes for an end to the tightening cycle by the Federal Reserve may be one of the factors contributing to this weakness. Federal Reserve Position: Statements from some regional bank presidents of the Federal Reserve indicate a divergence of opinions regarding the future path of monetary policy. While some are confident that inflation will remain under control, others are more cautious and do not rule out further interest rate hikes. Government Bond Yields: Yields on US government bonds are declining, indicating some caution or concern about the economy. The recent lows in yields may reflect a growing focus on safe-haven assets such as gold. Upcoming Key Events: Investors seem to be awaiting US inflation data, particularly the October Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index. A further decrease in inflationary pressure could positively impact the market and pose a threat to the demand for dollars.

Gold Next Move ? (XAUUSD)Investors in Asia, meanwhile, took comments from erstwhile Federal Reserve hawk Christopher Waller as perhaps a signal of another era-shift, as he flagged that U.S. interest rates could be cut in the months ahead. A rally in bonds and slide in the dollar that has run for weeks in the afterglow of a benign U.S. inflation report extended in Asia in the wake of Waller's remarks. Two-year Treasury yields fell to a four-month low just below 4.70%. Ten-year Treasury yields hit a two-month low of 4.28%. Interest rate futures price more than 100 basis points of cuts next year and a 40% chance they begin as soon a March. The dollar's slide led to multi-month highs for the yen, euro, sterling and Swiss franc against the greenback and sent spot gold, in dollars, to its highest since May.

Gold approaching 2000 ahead of GDP!The price of gold (XAU/USD) struggles to capitalize on intraday gains, hovering around the $2,052 level and retracing from a peak touched last Wednesday, near seven months ago. Despite a modest rebound in the US dollar and a positive risk tone, the precious metal remains in positive territory for the fifth consecutive day. The Federal Reserve officials' recent less hawkish statements confirm the market's bets on monetary policy tightening starting from March 2024. The disappointing auction of US Treasury bonds has lowered yields, providing support for gold. Attention is now focused on the preliminary US GDP report and the core PCE price index, which will influence Fed policy expectations and guide the direction of the dollar and gold.

84% PoP - Playing the Oil Prices with /MCL Futures $USO $CL I've decided to make a play on the oil prices and chose /MCL futures for this venture. The trade required a BP (buying power) of $600, with a maximum profit potential of 1.07cr. This sets up a favorable risk-reward ratio of 1:6. The IVR (Implied Volatility Rank) stands at 51, which is advantageous for the credit strategies I prefer. With a PoP (Probability of Profit) of 84%, the conditions seem ideal for the 34 days duration I've set for selling the 70 put leg. I opened an semi-bullish position with a put short on the January expiry /MCL futures. My expectation is that the oil prices will either not fall too rapidly or will actually rise. For future management of this position, I have two scenarios in mind: If the Oil Continues to Fall Strongly: In case the oil continues its strong downtrend, I plan to sell a call leg on top, transforming the position into a strangle from the current naked put. If the fall is steep, or I fear that the break-even point of $69 might be breached, I'll hedge my risk by purchasing a put around the 60 strike, turning it into a credit spread and wait for the 21 DTE (Days to Expiry). Stagnant or Slight Rebound in Oil Prices: If the oil price doesn't move much or rebounds slightly, I'll quickly close my position for a profit. The target? About 50% of the original credit received for writing the put, which amounts to roughly $50. This would mean a 10% return on my utilized capital, which I find quite satisfactory. In summary, this strategic move in oil futures trading is well-aligned with my risk appetite and trading preferences, providing a good balance between risk management and profit potential.

EURUSD Bullish channel with a breakout above 1.0950!During Monday's Asian session, the EUR/USD pair experienced modest declines, primarily due to renewed demand for US dollars. The rise of the EUR seems constrained due to current macroeconomic prospects. Currently, the pair is trading near 1.0935, with a 0.08% loss for the day. Economic data from Germany indicates an improvement in the German IFO business climate index in November, but this appears to have little significant impact on the euro's performance. A moderate expansion in private sector economic activity is anticipated in the United States for November, but disappointments in the data could affect the resilience of the US dollar (USD) in the American session. Additionally, the price is currently at 1.0950 after a false breakout on the daily chart. I expect a potential price retracement to two key levels, the first at 1.0850 and then at 1.0760, corresponding to the 38% Fibonacci retracement. Conversely, a breakout to the upside of the 1.0950 level on a daily chart could suggest an upward movement with the objective of reaching the June highs at 1.12. Wishing everyone a successful trading day. Greetings from Gaia.

XAUUSD: 2014 will be the crucial level in view of the Fed!The price of gold has struggled to surpass $2,000, facing resistance around $2,010. Daily oscillators suggest potential buying opportunities around $1,989-1.988, with support levels at $1,979-1.978 and $1,965. A break below the latter could lead to levels around $1,940. On the other hand, a break above $2,000 could pave the way for $2,007 and $2,009-2,010, with positive prospects to reach $2,022 and $2,040. However, the current price fluctuates below $2,000, with investors cautious about the future direction, influenced by FOMC minutes and positive US data. Speculations about higher interest rates and US Treasury yields hinder gold. Despite expectations for the Fed to maintain stable rates, fears of a hike persist. Weak signals from stock markets support gold as a safe haven, but the situation remains uncertain. The US dollar is recovering, but traders anticipate stability or possible rate cuts in 2024. The economic context influences gold prospects, still on track for the second consecutive weekly gain, with attention turning to US PMIs for further indications. First, I expect a price increase to the 2014 level, where I've identified two possible scenarios: a breakout of the supply zone with a subsequent retest before moving towards the 2023 high. The second scenario involves a price increase to the 2014 level, followed by a pullback towards 1981, where I've identified a crucial daily chart support and resistance level. My overall view is bullish in the long term. Greetings from Gaia, and happy trading to all.

BTC to ValhallaQuantitatively speaking all of my systems aggregated are long. There will of course, be a lot volatility. Like any other normal crypto upwards trending market. Not providing and esoteric uber complex system on here since they are private. Now with that being said, a myriad of things are in the right direction for HTF investing and also if you had a good swing entry on the recent price action. As this continues to play out many small-cap coins have had their waves with their small glimmers of alpha, short-lived. Easy exits thought lol. In a macro sense, all TradeFi systems are long and most asset classes are max long, and yeah you can find out the quantitative backing yourself. The recent reduction in correlation between crypto and traditional markets, has seen a more strongly positive correlation in the past 21 days. Confusing the mind of the retail trader. There is still low sentiment on crypto in its entirety and moreso elicits the stage of disbelief. But, that does not matter in the slightest. Qualitative "Analysis" is boring anyway.

LONG Strategy I Use With The Logical Trading Indicator V.1In this post I want to explain how I use the Logical Trading Indicator V.1 that I published as a community script here on TradingView. The following strategy is what I use on a daily basis with a number of different assets, primarily crypto and FOREX, but can work with just about any asset with a chart. This post is not specific to one particular timeframe, but I made the chart on the 1HR as that is the timeframe that the default settings were keyed in on. It is based on a LONG strategy. A SHORT trade would be just the opposite, which I will also make a post about as well. When I sit down to the charts, I set my alerts so the indicator tells me when to trade so that I can go about my day and make my moves with the alerts hit. This keeps me with a mechanical strategy that I can use to help keep my emotions out of the trade. Steps I take to prepare for a LONG trade: STEP 1: Set alert and watch for a bullish cross of the basis line. This indicates that the trend is changing and to be on the lookout for momentum change as well as the BUY signal. STEP 2: Set alert and watch for the next BUY signal. This happens when the price is above the basis line and the ATR meets the multiple set in the settings. So by default it is set to 2x multiple. So when the price jumps 2x the ATR figure, that means we are getting some serious bullish momentum and it is time to enter a long trade. STEP 3: Although this indicator works on a trailing stop loss strategy, it's always good risk management practices to set what I call an emergency stop loss. This protects your capital in-case everything just goes wrong. I set my emergency stop loss inside or just to the outside of the lower bollinger band range. This gives your trade room to move and go in the direction that it is indicating, but protects you incase the market turns quickly and you aren't paying attention. STEP 4: Set alert and watch for Take Profit signals. This happens when the price closes inside the upper bollinger band range, which also indicates an 'overbought' range similar to an RSI. The signal fires when the next candle closes below the band. This let's you know the momentum has changed and it could be a great time to take at least 50% or more of your position off the table. STEP 5: Set alert and watch for a bearish cross of the basis line. This indicates that the trend is starting to change and is when I usually close out the rest of the trade. STEP 6: You can set an alert to let you know when the SELL signal fires. This is the absolute LAST chance to get out in profit. This is the trailing stop loss signal that is built into the indicator. With my particular strategy, I am usually out of the trade at this point, but if I didn't get a chance to do anything when I got the bearish basic cross, I am definitely closing everything out when I see that SELL signal. This is also when you could be looking into flipping bearish and taking a SHORT trade, then it's just the opposite. I hope this helps answer some questions that people might have about how to use the Logical Trading Indicator V.1!
