The Quarters Theory (15 minute) Part 4-4If you use the 15 minute time frame for entries, exits, stop losses and targets, I would strongly suggest you use the quarters theory- BUT- it is actually the eighth theory (place these lines every 12.5 pips away from each other).
Example 15 minute chart of GbpJpy pair today:
(Place lines every 12.5 pips away from each other)- if you are scalping and or day trading. These will define your trades and structure.
150.500
150.375
150.250
150.125
150.000
149.875
149.750
What do you see about price action at these different price action line levels? Does PA go right thru them without any issues? Does price action stop and reverse? Does price action reverse at these lines? What pair are you trading- What price is on chart now? What session(s) are open now? What Time is it?
Look left on all charts and put these either quarter lines on them above 1 hour or eighth lines on time frames below one hour time frame.
Trading Plan
The Quarters Theory (1 hour) Part 3-4The quarters theory on one hour time frame is great for both day trading and/or scalping.
Make sure you put the quarter lines every 25 pips away from each other, just find the closes whole round number and start there with adding lines on charts.
On noted GbpJpy chart the quarter lines are as follows:
150.750- yellow line
150.500- red line
150.250- yellow line
150.000- black line
149.750- yellow line
These lines help with structure of price action, what has happened before at these lines? go left
These lines help with entries, exits, stop losses, targets and risk management.
The Quarters Theory (4 hour) Part 2-4Quarters Theory example on a 4 hour chart of AudJpy:
What does chart show you?
1) Whole round numbers (black lines)- 100 pips away from next round whole number
2) Quarter numbers (yellow and red)- 25 pips away from next quarter number
These lines make it a lot easier to trade any time frame, why?
1) You can set you enter and exits at these lines on charts
2) These quarter lines give you structure and informs you where price action swings had happen before
3) These quarter lines give you a great place to set your stop losses, on 1:1 or higher risk reward setups.
4) These define your trade, so you can set your risk management via quarter lines on charts
Per attached chart you might know where I think price action will continue to today and/or tomorrow. Yes, you could do a 50 pip stop and 50 pip target on these 1:1 trades but you need a 60% or higher win rate if you only do 1:1 RR trades. But this is not hard to do if you have the knowledge. If you either day trade and/or scalp, I would strongly advise you to you tube and/or google The quarters theory and start using them to define your trades, lot size, entries, exits and targets. This will help you greatly in your trading.
The Quarters Theory (Daily) Part 1-4On example daily chart of EurAud (on this article)- what do you see related to the quarters theory? support and resistance? trading edge?
I see 100 pip round whole numbers (black lines) divided into four equal parts of 25 pips apiece (red and yellow lines)-
If you did trade with 100 pip stop losses- this would be a great way to trade either position, swing or daily charts- from whole round numbers to next whole round number.
Those would be 100 pip stop losses vs 100 pip targets or 1:1 Risk Reward setups- you would need to have a win rate of 60% or more to make a profit with this type of trading, or you could set a 100 pip stop loss and let trade run for either a couple, few or many more days and have a higher Risk Reward setup.
The quarters theory started with 1000 pip areas, like example from 1.6000 to 1.7000 would be 1000 pips, break this down into four equal parts or as follows:
1.6000- major round number-
1.6250- minor number-250 pip area
1.6500- minor half number- 250 pip area
1.6750- minor number- 250 pip area
1.7000- major round number
This can be done on any charts from monthly down to 1 minute and should be done for knowing possible entries, exits and risk reward (lot sizes)- on every trade you make. I use the quarters theory for scalping, it will give you a trading edge and control your trades within a certain structure of the market.
THE ART OF MULTI-TIMEFRAME ANALYSIS AND MULTIPLE CONFLUENCESHey, wizards, hope you are all having a great week so far! We would like to welcome all of you on another educational post, the topic of which is Multi-Timeframe analysis and multiple confluneces involved.
As it can be inferred, the Monthly and Weekly timeframes are used to determine the direction of the market, the Daily timeframe is used to identify key areas and important zones, and finally, the 4-hourly timeframe is utilized for entering trades. Now, let’s dig deeper into it and analyze the situation that we have on EUR/USD.
MONTHLY: Observing the weekly timeframe graph, we can say that the price has been printing bearish candles for a few consecutive weeks. As one of the main trading principles says, after a strong impulsive move, a correction is needed. We can witness some bearish weakening signs and therefore we are looking for a short-term long position. Our possible target would be set at a previous level of support turned resistance, which aligns with the golden Fibonacci zone.
WEEKLY: Leveling down to the weekly timeframe chart, we can see that the price is consolidating, as it is unable to push lower. Technically, after long lasting consolidations, it is believed that the price will either fly like a rocket or drop like a needle. This gives us another confluence and backs up our plan.
DAILY: Moving down to the daily timeframe graphic, we can notice that the previous candle was super bullish and some kind of an ascending triangle is being formed. If the price breaks and retests the upper boundary of the formed triangle, we can see some nice bullish moves.
4H: Last but not least, the 4-hourly timeframe a.k.a. the timeframe of entries. After a massive bullish push to the upside yesterday, the price has started correcting before further bullish moves happen. Here, we are using two entry confluences: the area of previously broken structure that nicely aligns with the 61.8% fibonacci retracement level. Before entering the trade, we will carefully monitor the price action and wait for the price to bounce off the local zone.
We are hoping that this educational post will be of value for you and we are wishing you all a great day!

With Hardwork and Dedication, Anything Is Possible!This isn't our typical workshop or market breakdown. Just want to take some time to deliver this message to you all supporters and passionate traders out there.
Talent isn't everything.
In fact, hard work beats talent.
If you're willing to dedicate 110% of your time and energy, you're moving towards your goals, and that's all you need to do.
Remember, regardless of where you are, you can do it.
Your closest ones may not be as supportive as your expected. But it's totally fine! It is not their responsibility to trust you or even have faith in you!
Your journey to success takes time, sweat, and tear. Loneliness is part of the game.
Remember this...
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Think positive. You never lose, you either win or learn.
So don't give up yet, keep hustling, stay humble, you'll get there.
It might not be today or tomorrow, but someday!
I'll be there supporting you all behind!
I Just Took a Big Proft - What Should I do?Hi Traders, welcome back to another workshop. This topic is often a big question mark within a lot of traders, wondering should they continue trading after getting a jackpot trade? When it comes to this, again, there's no right or wrong. It is all about your plan, mindset, and performance. Below I've summarized the 3 main highlights of this workshop
1. Identify whether it is a good win or bad win
- If a winning trade is within your trading plan, something that you carefully planned and executed, then it is a good win. Because most likely it is something that is repeatable and duplicable, which can contribute a big part to your long-term consistency.
- If a winning trade is not within your trading plan, then often it is categorized as a bad win. You took the trade based on impulsive behaviour, you jumped into the chart just start taking blind trades. Yes, it is still a winning trade, but as a professional trader we do not determine the quality of a trade based on the outcome. It all depends on the execution of the strategy and the quality of the setup itself. You can have the best setup where everything aligns but still lose money. Think about it.
2. Do a mindset checking - "Is my mindset still clear?"
- Is your mindset still at at peak? If the answer is yes, then feel free to continue trading, because who knows it could be one of those good months?
- But if the answer is no, then probably you should take a step back. You can either trade less size to track your performance or you could perhaps stop trading and focus on something else, then come back stronger.
3. Set a drawdown limit (Very important)
- Always pay yourself first. Active trading is still considered a job. I understand the importance of compounding, but always take a small portion of the money and pay yourself first, then continue growing your account.
- By setting a drawdown limit, it calms your mind as you secured portion of the profits. It always avoid you from performing poorly due to a different mindset approach then eventually give back all of them back to the markets.

What Type of Trader Are You? 🤔
Hey traders,
In this post, I decided to make a comparative analysis of three main trading styles: scalping, day trading, and swing trading.
We will go throw the main pros and cons of each approach and discuss common misconceptions.
🏃♀️🏃 Let's start with scalping.
I guess many of us were impressed by videos on youtube showing how a guy makes thousands of dollars applying a simple scalping strategy.
Some of these videos get millions of views and excitement from the audience. No surprise the majority of newbies start their trading journey with scalping strategies.
Practicing some of them and trading on a real account, these traders suddenly realize that the youtube videos barely reflect the reality of scalping.
Scalping requires being extremely reactive, making trading decisions quickly, and constantly staying focused.
Moreover, it turns out that this trading style is extremely risky, and occasional losing streaks become an essential part of the process.
A pro scalper usually opens dozens of trading positions per day and manages many of them simultaneously.
Even though it is a fact that a solid scalping strategy is a true cash machine, the constant pressure and high level of stress make many traders leave that game blowing their trading account.
A true scalper is a guy with iron nerves and a sharp mind.
It takes many many years to become a person like that.
🚶♀️🚶Intraday trading is a bit simpler. While quite often scalping gives a trader just a couple of minutes to react and make a trading decision, intraday trading gives the hours. Such a trading style is slower, the intraday perspective is not that chaotic and irrational. It takes many hours for the trading setup to play out making the trade management process not that time-consuming. Moreover, intraday trader tends to open much fewer trading positions than a scalper. Analyzing primarily 4h/1h time frames less trading setups meet the entry conditions.
That primarily affects the potential gains though. Lesser you trade, the less money you make.
I consider myself to be an intraday trader. Trading full-time of course I was trying different scalping strategies, but I must admit that I can’t make the decisions that quickly, I can’t constantly hold so many active trading positions in my mind, I need some time to think, I need some time to do other things, I want more freedom. For that reason, intraday trading is my choice.
And let me be frank right here: I am not trying to say that intraday trading is simple, it is SIMPLER than scalping still remaining extremely complicated to master.
🕴🕴 If you want trading to become your side income if you have a full-time job and just a couple of hours per day for charting, I believe that intraday trading/scalping are not appropriate for you. In your situation, I would consider swing trading.
Swing trading is extremely slow. Being primarily focused on weekly/daily time frames a swing trader tends to hold trading positions for weeks, sometimes even months.
Moreover, it takes many days for a swing trading setup to form and the market gives a trader much time for reflection.
Of course, that primarily affects the potential gains:
I believe that among the 3 trading styles that we discussed, swing trading generates the lowest returns.
Swing trader is the best starter for newbie traders.
Analyzing higher time frames they can constantly follow the market and don’t miss the major moves.
Just 1-2 hours per day are enough to follow dozens of financial instruments.
Only by becoming a consistently profitable swing trader, one can try himself in intraday trading.
Working with hundreds of struggling traders from different parts of the world I realized that the majority has the inverted perception of scalping/intraday/swing trading. I hope that this article will shed a light on that topic.

Stopped Out - Is It Okay To Re-Enter?Hi Traders, welcome back to another workshop. I believe this is a very common struggle within our community as a Trader. Often when you take a loss on a particular setup, the urge of getting back into the market is intense, and that's human psychology.
Do you realized how focused and how biased you are when you are hunting for a specific setup?
- Get stopped out once, you'd still take it because it doesn't do any damage to your account
- Get stopped out twice, you'd still arguably take it because you allow yourself for a re-entry
- Get stopped out thrice, now your emotion is taking over your rational behaviour. Now all you're focusing is either "How can i make my money back?!" or "I MUST be correct" or "This cannot be ..."
Familiar?
Remember, trading is not so much about Yes or No. It's all about measuring the Risk-to-Reward VS Probability of Success. If a setup is so valuable that you cannot afford to miss it (assume it passed through your trade evaluation process), feel free to take it again and again. But if you're trading the P&L, then i'd suggest you to only allow yourself a maximum of 2 chance entries, meaning that if you're getting stopped out twice in a row in a similar setup, you should probably get some rest or trade the other markets.
Most of the time, when a trader gets stop out multiple times in a row trading a similar setup, the emotion kicks in. Now their trading lens is no longer focusing on finding the best setups, but rather 'this must be it'. That's also how the over-trading and revenge trading behaviour pops out.
Let me know your thoughts below.
If you enjoy the content, make sure you follow my profile and give me a thumbs up for daily fx forecast & educational content.
Tired of catching losers and missing winners? Have a checklist.If you too are fed up of catching so many losers AND missing out winners then here is a suggestion.
I don't give much attention to some setupds that sometimes end up really good, and I insist with setups that catch my eye but are really not that great.
The solution is first of all to pay attention to the markets (and charts) every single day, and second it is to systematically run the setups in a checklist, as objective as possible, checking every point 1 by 1 (can't be lazy). Unless you are highly autistic I think this is necessary (or strongly recommended).
If this is to be a real "job"...
> Be able to justify why you took an investment
> This is not gambling
> As if you were hired and had to explain to investors or a boss
I gave an example with a list of 9 conditions. Not for me to say what they should be or how many there should be but more than 10 seems like too much, it should be more synthetic and we do not want to spend 1 hour every time we want to check something. I think the conditions should have some objective measurement(s) that should take a few seconds to a few minutes to check. If it takes too long it is a bad sign, it might be too complicated or too subjective, too emotional.
Example:
Something such as "support level", to put a score (0-3) one could proceed like this, and that would take 1 minute or less:
For the trend we find some objective way (can be EMA or extension from ATR or BB) to tell if it is:
- Choppy/Ranging = 0
- Weak Trend = 1
- Strong Trend = 2
- Diagonal Trend = 3
And parabolic trends are a separate thing entirely.
Trading Strategy TunerThat strategy tuner idea made for only making your strategies easier to build. None of the things that I wrote are strategy or investment advise. Please take your decisions only by yourself and please build your strategy only by yourself because only you can know yourself well and only you knows how much risk you can take.
Trading strategies, Part 1: First stepsWelcome to a series of videos called Trading Strategies. In the next couple of weeks, we'll talk about different strategies one can use to maximize gains: Market psychology, trading tools, trading styles, technical analysis.
Today, the first steps:
1- Defining who you are: Are you an investor or a trader
2- Educating yourself: Knowledge is the best tool someone can have on the market
3- You can't win all the time
4- Don't be greedy

HOW PROFITABLE TRADING LOOKS LIKE ? (EDUCATION)Hello traders, I'm making this post in order to help the community, most of you focus to much in technical analysis but let's take back to basics a put things clear.
Before continuing reading make sure to give a like this will help the community use proper risk management.
Let's talk about simple math : This is simply a conceptual series of 10
trades, taken one after the other from abeginner perspective let's us act as a beginner: if at the beginning you risk more than expected then it will take you a lot of work to recover from that DD%. Make sure to have a proper risk modelling and follow the rules to survive. New traders execute trades with certainties
" this loos good"
"I will risk more"
“ I can’t lose in this trade “
"I will risk more in this
one because I need to recover my
previous loss" .
"I lost the previous one i
will risk less"
Here is where the problem occurs:
When you modify parameters in your risk
modeling it will have a strong impact in
the outcome.
This example was clear. Our dear Mr amateur risked more in the first trade end up losing more ( uncontrolled loss) , then took another normal loss , after that he has two winning trades but guess what? Mr emotional become greedy and risk more after having two profitables trades and guess what ? He just distributed all the money back. See how his biggest loses come after the biggest wins . After that big loss mr amateur is scarred to pull the trigger and of course he cut winners very quickly because he’s afraid to distribute back . Well for him trading becomes a nightmare . Markers are consuming his pocket and soul .
Now Let us say for example that you took
10 trades with proper risk management ? With a probabilistic approach?
the outcome is totally different. And guess what there is no magic trick . Profitable trading is a unemotional risk manager game , Chose wisely .
Here is where the solution is :
EVERY TRADE IS UNIQUE , ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
MANAGE YOUR EXPOSURE OR YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO MANAGE.
PRO traders understand that in order to have results they must adopt a series per trade approach
Please do follow and comment your thoughts. let me know in the comment section what do you think about it .
Forex Signals Providers - Scam? Points you should keep an eye onForex Signals Providers - Scam? Points you should keep an eye on before buying.
Points:
- Trading Strategy
- Trade Management / Timing
- Risk Management / Risk Rewards
- Broker
- Result
Trading Strategy:
Well we never know what these traders are really doing. We may see the analysis but we do not have their rules (Trading Plan). So you would need to understand their Price Action Confirmation and many more. How to act in certain scenarios and which is the best approach in these scenarios in order to get the maximum out of it. As we all know forex is a business of probabilities. With the right approach we can minimize our losses and maximize our wins. This part is completely missing. When price hits SL you do not know why and how to take the counter trade or when you can simply reenter. This is the procedure of evaluation.
Trade Management/Timing:
We need to catch every single trade in order to make the same profit like them. This may be very difficult. Especially if you are working at your 9-5 job. Signals may be better for full time traders. But full time traders do not need Signals obviously.
You can not make time management as you are depending to your Signal Provider. At the end it will be necessary to take it as a 9-5job. Otherwise you will miss too many trades. This should not be your approach as a trader. You need to only attach in certain scenarios this is how you ensure high concentration and you can increase your win rate.
Risk Management / Risk Rewards:
Here I see the biggest problem. The majority provider use multiple TP Take Profit Levels like TP1 TP2 TP3 TP4. This does not work properly. It is simply an illusion that they make so much percentage. The only thing what they do is pips. But not the real ROI. This is what will gain you the percentages on your trading account and not pips. Of course there is a Risk Management system with pips but there you have big disadvantages as you can not scale your wins. With a percentage method you minimize your risk/losses and you maximize your wins to the fullest.
Broker:
Every broker has different spreads. Therefore you may not get involved in some positions or you will get stopped out. This point is only important for Signal Services where the SL are super tight.
Result:
Here the majority are just faking and they are claiming big results. So you need to check it. This is very difficult. You need here proven results. When they will show you their 6th Tp level hit then you know that this Channel is just giving you unreal results
Recommendation:
What I suggest is to learn Forex by yourself and from others that are already there where you want to be. Join a community with the same goal. The community should not be too big. Otherwise it will be difficult to interact and also the mentors can not really help you individually.
You need to commit yourself for at least 3years nonstop in order to really understand how this business works. It is like in any other business or 9to5 job. You will not just start from the beginning and you will understand everything. No you go to the school, seminars, ....
It will just take time my friends. But I promise you with CONSISTENCY you will reach it.
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"
This is my approach for this industry.
WHY 95% OF TRADERS FAIL | Top 6 Mistakes to Avoid 🙅♂️🙅♀️
Hey traders,
That is the absolute fact:
95% of traders will fail.
Working with hundreds of struggling traders from different parts of the world, studying their trades & following their reasoning I found a lot of commonalities. In this post, we will discuss the top 6 mistakes to avoid to succeed in trading.
🤖 Rather than studying the market structure, rather than learning price action, many traders are looking for a "secret indicator". The one that will accurately indicate when to buy or sell the market.
Failing to find the one, they start looking for a set of indicators giving them magic profit formula. At some stage, they stop analyzing the chart at all. They become obsessed with the indicators.
Remember, naked chart analysis always goes first.
The indicator is the tool in your toolbox that is applied as one of the confirmations.
💫 The expectations & mindset play a very important role here as well.
Many people come in trading with a desire to become rich quick. To buy a subscription to some signal service promising them thousands of pips monthly and quite their 9:5 job.
Or to watch a couple of educational videos about trading and after a couple of days of practicing become a whale of Wallstreet making thousands of dollars with a single trade.
Such a mindset is completely wrong. Instead, you must realize that trading is extremely hard. It will take many years and a lot of blown trading accounts before you get how to trade properly.
Moreover, even once you mature, you won't make millions of dollars. Professional trading is simply about winning slightly more than you lose and then living on a margin.
📉 Poor risk management is the primary reason for blown trading accounts. And here I am not talking about some "advanced" risk management techniques.
Many traders simply trade with oversized lots.
Having high leverage & 1000$ deposit at hand the one can simply open a trading position with 1 standard lot and be kicked in by a spread.
Or they open a trading position without a stop loss. Being wrong in their predictions instead of closing a losing position they keep holding it. And while the market keeps going against them they pray the God for a market reversal. At some moment they get the margin call.
You must learn to calculate a lot size for all your trades. Instead of risking a huge portion of your trading account, learn to set a stop loss and risk no more than 1% of your deposit.
📝 Lastly, discipline plays a crucial role in your success in trading. Once you developed a trading strategy & backtested that you must learn to follow its rules no matter what. Usually, once traders catch a losing streak they start changing their rules, they start adjusting their trading strategy. Remember that losses are inevitable. The only correct way to stay afloat is to be consistent and don't break the rules.
Avoiding these common mistakes your chances to succeed in trading will increase dramatically. I wish you be among 5% of traders who made it.
Did you make these mistakes?

Trade Entries VS Trade Exits - Do you still make these mistakes?Hi Traders, welcome back to another workshop. In today's workshop, I will be discussing the importance of taking of both Trade Entries and Trade Exits.
Most traders put way too much attention into spotting the specific entry level. But the truth is, closing out a good position at the right time and at the right price make you money. You can have the best strategy and best entry, but if you don't know how to exit, you'd still end up losing money.
Why majority focus so much on trade entries?
Simply because the feeling of catching tops & bottoms give them a sense of gratification and achievement.
Trading isn't about feeling good, it certainly isn't about ego. It's all about how can you organize your mind to control its performance, so you're consistently extracting profits from the markets, by doing the right thing.
Stop aiming for profits, start focusing on the process.
Do the right thing. Again, and again. That's how you make money from whatever you're doing in life.

How To Achieve Your Personal Success - VisionHi Traders. This workshop is something untypical, not really trading-related but more on life story in general. In this sharing, I'll be discussing why starting from zero is always the toughest.
Trading, investing, and entrepreneurship in general tend to beat you up in the beginning when you first started. Everyone's fueled with passion and motivation in the beginning, most people give up in between. Ultimately, those who can withstand challenges and defeats will stand up firm and stronger. People who will succeed in life are those who are determined, persevere, and with ever-growing passion.
For whatever challenges you're facing right now, remind yourself that it will not last forever. A bright shiny day comes after the rain, keep paddling.

PRICE ACTION TRADING | Bearish Flag Pattern 🔰
Hey traders,
Bearish flag pattern is a classic trend-following pattern.
Being relatively simple to recognize, it is applied in various trading strategies.
⭐️ The pattern itself signifies the correctional movement after a strong bearish wave in a bearish trend.
After setting a new structure low, the asset starts growing in value and the price action legs start forming a rising parallel channel.
What is particular about this growth is the fact that the price grows within the range of the preceding bearish impulse.
🔔 The trigger that we are looking for to sell the market is a bearish breakout of the support of the flag pattern (we need at least a candle close below).
To not be caught by a false breakout, it is highly recommendable to wait for a bearish violation of the last higher low level as well.
Only then the flag breakout is confirmed.
The breakout signifies the end of a correctional movement.
Then the price will most likely return to a bearish trend.
⚡️Trading the market aggressively, one opens a short position on spot just after the breakout candle closes.
⚡️The conservative trader will wait for a retest of the broken support of the flag for a safer entry.
✔️Safest stop will lie strictly above the highest wick (the last higher high) within the flag.
✔️Initial target will be based on the closest key structure support.
Learn to recognize this pattern and be disciplined to wait for its confirmed breakout. Only then a high trading performance will be achieved.
What pattern do you want to learn in the next post?🤔

Why You Should Never Focus On The Outcome?Hi Traders, here come another workshop regarding " Why you should never focus on the outcome ." Along my own life journey, I've been through there and I've had encountered many people who are constantly comparing themselves to another or envying another.
The way I see life is that everything has a fair return. The achievements in your later stage of life is the by-product of your earlier sacrifices. If you're unwilling to pay the suffers now, most likely you will live your life like the 90% of the ordinary. Everyone has a different progress and settle at a different pace. By focusing on the outcome, not only you're dragging yourself down, you're also directly stagnating your personal growth process. Things you should never do if you're currently in a transition into a better self
1. Never compare yourself to another
- By comparing yourself, you're focusing on the dollars return (monetary return). Then, by doing so, you'd tend to forget your initial motivation - why did you started?
2. Never forget why you started
- Why? In life, we all started something with an initial sparks and burning passion. But somehow the majority turns into the majority because they've forgotten their goals and motivation. Or they simply give up so easily that they're not taking their dream seriously.
3. Loss track of progress
- By comparing to someone elses' life, you're not focusing on what your own dreams are. If someone else if making more money than you, remind yourself three main points
A. They've got a different dream and goal
B. Whatever amount they're making, it's their own progress, mind your own business!
C. Everything settle at its own pace. Someone's making big money at their early age but go broke later one. Some busy planting seeds in the beginning but enjoy the fruition later.

Price Psychology what happening with in priceThis is meant to serve as a training guide into understanding how chart patterns are ultimately formed via prices bought and sold.
This is where the focus of this video is. We are always wanting to know rather than the pattern that is forming, the prices that are
being bought and sold on the chart.
For this we use Quarters Theory, The segmenting on the chart into equal slices to understand where prices are at and where they could go.
On my highest timeframe I like to stick to 1000 pip sections the value of these sections changes this system is universal and can be used on any asset for ease of understanding it was preformed on a stock chart.
Within 1000 pips we have four sections
Four $100 zones
Four $50 zones
Sixteen: $25 zones
On a monthly chart we focus on 1000 pip sections, on a weekly is 100 and on a daily its 10.
Segmenting the char in this nature allows for an understanding of how price has reacted on different time frames based up the price or zone that it is in. From this point of view we may then begin to see recognizably patterns happening at specific prices that would be attributed to bar chart or price action patterns.
Be Prepared - In control of the Survival ModeHI Traders, here come another workshop on being prepared for any possible outcomes in trading. Whether you're a new or experienced traders, at one point, you'd definitely face some obstacles completely out of your comfort zone, where you're just stumbling without any clue on how to solve it. Here sums up 4 key elements on how to be in-control of any possible outcome
1. Flexible
- Successful traders have extremely good flexibility. Regardless of what's put infront of their face, they adapt.
- Market conditions vary from day by day, so when the ordinary things/ setups aren't working well, what's wrong? Most likely either the market condition has changed, or your mindset is changing.
- This is why having multiple strategies to trade across different market conditions are so important. If you're only focusing on a specific market condition (eg. Trend Trader), then knowing how to identify when the market is in a non-trending condition is crucial to prevent yourself from making unusual decisions or taking unnecessary risks.
2. In control of the Survival Mode
- The Fight-or-Flight response refers to how humans have high tendency of making impulsive decision based on unknown fear.
- By managing the Survival Mode , you're truly able to avoid yourself from making irrational decision due to any unusual market condition, such as a sudden volatility spike.
- When you're in a deep drawdowns, ONLY think in-terms of probability and possibility . Question yourself: "If I continue trading, would it lead to a snowfall effect?" OR "If I stop trading, would it affect my long-term expectancy?"
3. Emotional-detachment
- Great traders always have a Poker face, not because they're inhuman, but because they've been humbled by the markets way too many time.
- Sharpen the ability to spot where you have a high tendency to deviate from your plan, then prevent yourself from making impulsive decisions.
- Losing traders are in the blue moon when they've got a good position running, and being extremely negative when they're having drawdowns.
- If you're overly attached to the results or outcome on any particular trades, it basically hints you that you should probably stop trading and focus on your reflective process.
4. Problem-solver
- Avoid being too harsh on yourself.
- Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. So stop excessively blaming yourself based on any particular decision, give yourself a pat in the shoulder, and ask yourself "how can i do it better next time?"
- Being positive is one huge element in becoming a successful trader. You don't want to get so beaten up until a point where you're nervous clicking the bid & ask buttons. Build up the necessary confidence to understand that you may not win this trade, but in the long-term I will always come out as a winner.
