The Traders Decisions at S & R Areas:
This is a function of how we are wired as humans.
The decisions to buy or to sell are made by analyzing the current price against previous areas which cause an emotional response to traders.
They fear of missing out of on opportunity so they either buy or sell at these areas of support or resistance.
So the support area...
Money makes money . It's an age-old saying, probably because it's generally true.
But starting out as a retail trader can be daunting and at times, frustrating. It takes time to build up a sizable account big enough to allow us to take the leap from trading part time, to full time trading.
Something that has kept me motivated over the years is an excel...
It's always refreshing to hear from some of the trading greats that have made a killing on the markets.
Here are ten quotes that'll make you think twice:
"Volatility is greatest at turning points, diminishing as a new trend becomes established." - George Soros
Soros cemented his position as a trading legend when he banked billions by shorting the British...
You are a Human. This is good.
You are capable of making complex decisions. You can identify patterns. You can enter excellent trades.
This is also bad. Between your ears is a narcotics factory that will put Heisenberg's mobile meth lab to shame.
You've entered a trade. This is it. The BIG one. A one-way ticket to infinite infinity pools.

One of the major reasons why traders lose money is because they ride out their losses and close profitable trades too early.
While being patient can help us to achieve our maximum profit potential, being patient on the wrong side of a trade can be costly.
This is a great insight into why we are naturally predisposed to riding out losses and not quitting while we...
Taking profits early was a hard lesson I had to learn. I occasionally still do it. See chart
For me, the key to LONG-TERM success in this business is not your win/loss rate, but the magnitude of your wins vs your losses.
My biggest mistakes have all come from taking profits early, not from taking small losses.
Way too many traders trade with very little capital and they do this because their brokers allow them to by offering them insane amounts of leverage. We really don't understand it because you would think that these brokers would want their clients to succeed in order to continue placing trades which yields the broker revenue from commissions and spreads. It is...
1) We have to find the strong impulse move ( At least three impulse move, I like the big bars). Lets say a rally or a drop.
2) Right underneath we have to find a consolidation area where we will mark the zones from the body to the wicks.
3) Drawing the zones is an art, so make sure you have a good look at them, Ignore the wicks at the top if you are buying and...
1. Go online and connect with other traders, ask the right questions (keyword: right) and talk shop. Joining TradingView is the best decision I made by far since I started trading. Social networks add value and my trading has improved a lot by being exposed to different ways to trade and by being able to see what works and what does not. But never trust a trader...
Stop losses aim to end a trade when the market goes so far in the opposite direction, that the trade idea no longer makes sense. It’s the point of invalidation . Ideally, they get hit on bad trades only and not on good trades. The area between entry point and stop loss is a zone where the trade is at a loss, but can still recover. This is not an invalidation of...

Currency correlation measures the extend in which two individual currency pairs move in the same or in opposite directions. It´s usually expressed as a percentage, from -100% to +100%. Positive correlations (from 0% to 100%) indicate how much two pairs move in the same direction. Negative correlations (from 0% to -100%) indicate how much two pairs move in opposite...
1. As a novice trader, one of the biggest mistakes you can make, especially after having had a number of successful trades, is thinking you know what you are doing when you actually don´t. This will be the cause of every trading error you have the potential to make.
2. It takes absolutely no skill at all to place a winning trade. It does to consistently do...
TEST YOUR TRADING SYSTEM
I will not go deep into this, because it quickly becomes a shouting match on who has the best system, which is usually more about ego than fact. It is sufficient to say that I have seen / know of profitable traders who use fundamentals, price patterns, Elliot waves, renko, moving averages, structure levels, pitchforks, trend rules and...
As we all know, when we open a trade, there is no guarantee it will be a winner. Given the win rate of a certain trading strategy, there is a random distribution between wins and losses. We trade to make money over a larger number of trades, not to win every individual trade, which would simply be unrealistic. That is why it’s important to be confident when we...
