Major Life Update: I Left the United Nation to Trade Full TimeAfter 11+ years of working in some of the toughest crisis zones — Jordan, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, HQ Geneva, and Ukraine — I’ve officially stepped down from my role as Head of the Information Management Team for the Health Cluster – World Health Organization – Ukraine Office. It wasn’t easy. But it was time. The pressure, the politics, the burnout… it all started to weigh too heavy. And somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t living — I was just surviving. And with the recent UN funding cuts — especially following the decision by Trump to halt contributions — it became clear that working in the humanitarian system is no longer something I can rely on for long-term stability or financial security for my family. Trading changed that for me. It gave me space to think, to breathe, and to build something that’s mine. It taught me discipline, patience, and how to trust myself again. So now, I’m stepping into a new chapter — full-time day trader. Not chasing the noise. Just sticking to my setups, showing up every day, and trusting the process. I’m sharing this here because honestly, everyone following me feels like my new big family — and to the good friends I’ve made in this community, thank you for being part of this journey. This isn’t the end of the road. It’s a new one. And I’m walking it fully awake this time. Wish me luck, see you in the minds section :) Moe, #TradingLife #Mindset #DayTrader #Resignation #LifeShift #NewChapter #FinancialFreedom #SeeYouInTheMindsSection

Scalper, Day Trader & Swing Trader | Choose Your Path There are thousands of different ways to trade the market. During the last 100 years, various trading strategies and techniques were invented. One of the ways to categorize them is to split them by types of traders. Such a category type will lean on 2 main elements: trading frequency and time frame selection. 1️⃣ - Scalper I guess 99% of newbie traders start from scalping. Trying to catch quick market moves and become rich quick, newbies are practicing different scalping strategies. What is funny about scalping is the fact that such a trading style is considered to be the easiest by the majority while remaining one of the hardest in the view of pros. The main obstacle with scalping is a constant focus and rapid decision-making. Scalpers usually open dozens of trading positions during the trading session, most of the time being in front of the screen constantly. Paying huge commissions to the broker and dealing with complete chaos on lower time frames, the majority simply can't survive the pressure and drop, leaving the pie to true gurus. 2️⃣ - Day Trader Day trading or intraday trading is the most appealing to me. Staying relatively active, the market gives some time for the trader for reflection & thinking. Opening and managing on average 1-2 trades per trading session, the intraday trader is granted a certain degree of freedom. However, with declining volatility , quite ofter intraday traders get a relatively low risk/reward ratio for their trades, 3️⃣ - Swing Trader Swing trading is the best choice for traders having a full-time job. Primarily being focused on daily/weekly time frames, swing trading is not demanding for a daily routine and aims at catching mid-term/long-term market moves. With an average holding period being around 2 weeks and opening 1-2 trading positions per week, swing trading is considered to be the least emotional and involves low risk. The main problem with swing trading is patience. Correctly identifying the market trend and opening a trading position, the majority tends to close their positions preliminary not being patient enough to let the price reach their target. Which trading type do you prefer? Let me know, traders, what do you want to learn in the next educational post?

Why Less Trading Gives Better Results!Hey hey traders! We're coming to you with a nice and short video on why trading less is actually better for you, atleast based on our experience! Being a full time day trader I found it hard to actually be at my best and trade all day long... at the end of the day trading is a means to an end, its only purpose is for you to exchange your knowledge, effort and focus for money, yet you do not need to sit there all day to do that, 60mins of focus is better than a whole day of nothing. Try what we preach for the rest of the week and you'll be amazed at your performance! Good luck trading!

Being a weekend trading warriorYour results on Monday will be influenced by the work that you do on the weekend, specifically Sunday. As an intraday trader I constantly think about my trading. Here are a few points which every trader should focus on, 1 - Mapping our mental weaknesses We all have mental challenges, some of us have a lot of FOMO, while others oversize and over trade, you know what is holding you back as a trader... FIND IT AND WORK ON IT! 2 - Reviewing trades (winners & losers) Search for the plays where you can add size, search for patterns that you can exploit next week, review your best trades. What trades worked best for you? more of these on Monday. What trades are not working for you? Eliminate them. 3 - Checking for key levels & patterns The best in every industry practice and train... yet probably 90% of traders never really do any kind of practice, they search for a strategy and then cannot wait to apply it to the markets... real traders work on their trading hence they create REAL SKILLS!

Consistency isn't something you get, it is something you doConsistency isn't something you get, it is something you do! Consistency in trading is a vital component, yet most traders think its something you get, it is not something you get it is something you do daily! Having a trading plan is something you do and them follow (do again) Following position sizing and risk management is something you DO Executing your system is something you DO! You get the drift! Do more good!

Know Your LevelsTodays daily primer is all about key levels, Don't make trading harder than it needs to be. Know your levels, keep track of them, have a system that says BUY or SELL as quickly as possible and then just execute your trades! All you needed to do was follow up, know the key levels and execute. It makes this job much easier when you are prepared and this type of preparation is easy. We are looking for an edge and keeping track of levels is KEY at making easy money (at least for our day trading system). Every Sunday I sit down and map out important levels, I also review my trades for the previous week, for development purposes, and during that review of past trades I specicially check these levels and how price behaved at them. I'd like to show you just how important levels are, but you should also checkout our VWAP video released just before this video.

How to Identify Market Structure and Increase Your ProfitabilityHave you ever wondered, when is the best time to trade? It all depends on what market structure is present at the current moment. There are 3 different types of market structure: 1. Ranging 2. Trending 3. Indecisive During a ranging market, prices can turn rapidly so taking profits quickly is crucial. Not optimal market conditions but can be traded if you don't get greedy. During a trending market, prices can keep continuing in one direction and not look back. It's better to be more lenient on rolling your stops. Expect the trend to continue and trade accordingly. Once the trend ends, sit back and wait for a clear picture of the market. During indecisive markets, you want to stay out! Don't touch. Avoid at all costs. I appreciate you investing your time in your future. Much Love Dil

What is Day Trading ? 📊 What Is Day Trading ? 📊 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Day trading usually refers to the practice of purchasing and selling a security within a single trading day. While it can occur in any marketplace, it is most common in the foreign exchange (forex) and stock markets. Day traders are typically well-educated and well-funded. They use high amounts of leverage and short-term trading strategies to capitalize on small price movements that occur in highly liquid stocks or currencies. Day traders are attuned to events that cause short-term market moves. Trading based on the news is a popular technique. Scheduled announcements such as economic statistics, corporate earnings, or interest rates are subject to market expectations and market psychology. Markets react when those expectations are not met or are exceeded–usually with sudden, significant moves–which can greatly benefit day traders. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

USD/SGD Long - 01 June 2021 | Hybrid Move Result: +3.00%Hey all, Another quick breakdown of one of our key strategies. The trade initiated from a Daily Jr. Zone stacked with a key quarterly and monthly trendline and of course a clean weekly area of demand. Beautiful price-action in my opinion at the higher-timeframes. The overall higher time-frames were perfect when the trade was executed and the Dollar index was also located in multiple layers of demand. The last couple months we've been eyeing the dollar for a clean recovery higher, the main reason for this was the fact that price was located in a key area of value at the monthly time-frame, at the weekly time-frame and at the daily time-frame as well| by stacking our unique zones, we can gain an edge in the markets and by utilising multi currency analysis this trade was executed live together with a scale-in position which is still running with an additional +3.16% locked in profits due to our trailing stop loss. The 4hour entry was formed strongly after a bit of slowing down for the recent 4hour candlesticks. Price exploded to the upside due to fundamentals, even though we do not trade fundamentals or check the news due to the subjectivity of it, we do love the volatility it brings to the table. Text book setup in my opinion which provided some good profits. Kind regards, Max Nieveld

No its not a picture of Mickey Mouse...🐭It's a super clear diagram on what key ingredients you need to find the 'sweet spot' = profitability. The thing is, most people are desperately hunting for the holy-grail, you know - that 100% winning strategy... the silver bullet. It doesn't exist - I'm sorry. 😢 So even a profitable strategy that's awesome can blow your account if the other 'factors' are not considered.... Greed and risk management. With poor risk management you can blow your account on a profitable strategy. Much like if the casino didn't set a trade limit - they could go bust if a gambler got 'lucky' - because its the casino that has the mathematical 'edge', right? You must factor in your losing runs to ensure you not exposing your account to the 'risk of ruin'. So yeah a profitable 'edge' is key, but without managing your mindset and using effective risk management, its actually useless too. Having an understanding of probability is fine too - but if you don't execute your 'edge' or if you don't have one, you won't be profitable too. And lastly, yeah - you can have your risk management nailed on - but if you've not got a profitable edge too, you'll lose money. Just less money. You could absorb 500 consecutive losses on a £1000 account at 1% risk per trade, but you'd only have about £6 left. Your strategy would have to be really poor for that to happen! But you catch my drift, that effective risk management is vital. So in summary, you need these three key ingredients... Strategy with an Edge Effective Risk Management planning for probability Trading Psychology - (greed under control, no fear, discipline, resilience, etc) You can't get to the 'sweet spot' without all 3 being in perfect alignment. Good luck. Darren If this helps - please show me by liking this post if you can, its appreciated and I'll do more like this 😎
