Trading Q&A: How to make a proper entry and exit from the market? in General Jun 16, 2022 at 09:37

1) You need to know exactly where you are going to enter (when, why) BEFORE you open a trade. These must be clear and ironclad rules. Without discretion "because something appeared in the market", this is the way to losses. Your trading system should describe this very precise.2) When it comes to exit, we have two ways. First, you know right from the start where you will exit (i.e. you have a set TP based on the rules of the system!). The TP MUST be set every time! If it isn't, it's like you don't have a system because you can't determine the RR!Without knowing your R...

Can you move the TP? Is it wise to move TP? in General Jun 10, 2022 at 10:27

Today I’m answering questions I received from a beginner trader. Take this knowledge and use for your own needs."I am a beginner trader. Sometimes I have a mental blackout, i.e. when the market reaches my TP, I move it once and then a second time, but then the market backs off. What to do in such a situation?"Start by taking the established TP. Don't take more, greed is a bad advisor. The decision of where the TP and SL are should be made BEFORE taking a trade and should be based on the assumptions of the system. These things are not likely to be moved. Grab all the TPs tha...

Why do you make money trading on demo but not in real market? [Trading Q&A] in General Jun 08, 2022 at 11:32

I got another question from a beginner trader. "Why do I make money on demo and not on real?"It is difficult to answer such a question without more information. Therefore, I will answer what is the most common cause of this situation.1. First of all it might be unfamiliarity with the trading system. Need more testing, analysis of your actions and more work on… demo.2. There is more courage on demo than in the real world. It is easier to make decisions. And if you have a problem here too - see point 1. Write down the rules of your trading system, prepare all the documents that ...

Why are some traders successful? in General Jun 06, 2022 at 10:14

Why are some traders successful?The best traders in the beginning weren’t the best. But that’s probably obvious. They had their problems, which they overcame either on their own or someone helped them. They also made both good and bad trading decisions. That’s why you shouldn’t be afraid of making decisions, you should learn to do it. What’s more, most decisions can be changed… although caution should always be exercised.Why the best traders become the best?One of the key traits I’ve noticed in the best traders is that they invested in themselves &mda...

A minor problem in trading that has occurred may be felt by you as very painful and serious at a time when you are particularly sensitive to stress, when your mental condition is weakened. The cumulations of negative events affect your trading results, especially losses and mistakes. It is best not to trade then. Stabilize yourself.Stress and its impact on tradingYou become particularly sensitive to stress, and your psychological reaction as a trader is greater and more painful when non-trading stress occurs: you are ill, you or a relative have an accident, a family member or friend dies, you ...

How and when close a trade to get the most out of the market? in New Traders May 23, 2022 at 14:04

One of the key questions I ask traders is how they get out of positions, can they always get to the TP. If you look at yourself you will find out something interesting about yourself.In short, there are two practical ways to manage a trade (and that includes staying within your TP).The first is technical management:You exit a position either when you have a TP or when there are relevant conditions to exit earlier. E.g. a position has lasted too long and news is approaching. This is technical management and its feature is that when you analyze the position afterwards it is rational from start t...

How trader’s mind works? in New Traders May 19, 2022 at 11:18

Our mind works in a few primary modes. A plan prepared at ease is rational, well considered and reasonable. However, just before the trade, strong emotions appear and rapidly the same plan seems weak and not suitable for the market.Why emotions take over trader's mind?If we think rationally, the brain is dominated by the activity of frontal lobes.When emotions (fear) occur, the amygdala dominates. Amygdala is the center that is responsible for the response to a threat. It prepares our body to fight or run away. It is a very powerful survival mechanism and works today just as it did thousan...

If you have problems with choosing a forex system right for you, here’s some tips. Or, if you change systems often, here is the answer:1. Ask yourself: is trading really for you? Forex trading is a profession, not suitable for every personality. Just like any other job it simply does not have to be your thing. And that is ok.2. Think which assets (forex, stocks, crypto, commodities…) & which trading style suits you the best. Make some research. Where do you feel “right”?3. Find a good system & a mentor.4. Build discipline, mental toughness, ability to r...

Technical changes are improvements to the system. In psychological way you look for your weaknesses, and when you find them, you treat working on them as a … step forward.Most people when confronted with their weaknesses prefer to turn away and close their eyes.
