Beyond Technical Analysis
The Losing Lesson #1In this first video of a series I intend to create, I discuss where I went wrong on losing trade today.
I'm not sure if this trade will hit TP or not, but regardless, the lesson is still applicable for future trades. It's clear that a stop below the more significant swing low would have kept me in this trade but trying to squeeze out another R from the market was simply not worth it.
Reviewing losing trades is just as important, if not more, than reviewing your winners. We can learn from these trades and become even better.
Happy trading,

Price action vs Indicators =, Another lie in trading ? I did not go into the details of "lagging" as it relates to indicators. Which is a true statement but its a misunderstood statement in the trading industry because most people don't truly understand what that means and also there are a lot of indicators that are leading. However in this video when I say "lagging" I am referring to the general idea in fx that indicators are useless because they are using past data.
Using Chat GPT to build pinescriptThis is a lot different to our normal video but I really wanted to show the @TradingView community how you can use AI to build indicators in @PineCoders
I thought it would be easier to do as a video idea than a stream.
So I hope you enjoy & don't forget to shout out to me when you try it for yourself, I am keen to see what you build!
All the best
Mayfair!
Brokers who don't charge swaps and fees? Are they Legit?If you sign up with a broker that states they don't charge fees, swaps, commissions i.e - everything is for free with us, you WILL pay them a lot more than if you were to sign up with a company that clearly says - no free lunch here, you will pay! Simple as that.
Remember a saying - the stingy pay double the money!

2 Free Online Games that Have Helped Me Become a Better Investor2 Free Online Games that Have Helped Me Become a Better Investor.
So Im in the middle of reading the " A Man of for All Markets" by Edward O. Thorp, and its fascinating. Hes a mathematician who proved there was a potential edge in blackjack (21) based on the cards that were left in the deck. He also went on to be investing fund manager who focused on covered calls and warrants and had a consistent track record for 20-25% annual returns. But his logic covered in his book focused on not only the odds of winning but the sizing of bets in both playing games and investing.
Risk management and bet sizing is not spoken about enough in life I believe. In the age of YOLO and wall street bets, clearly its not celebrated enough. A YOLO bet is a massive bet because 'you only live once'. how silly mathematically and how foolish from a consistency basis. Been there done that.
Bet sizing is key for survival. If you cant endure and survive long enough to be massively right, then your out of the game.
In the video I share 2 games that I think are awesome for practicing these concepts. I really I had learned to play and practice these concepts in games like this in college or high school. Its a math simulation. the Coin flip game is fantastic for learning how to manage risk and bet sizing. The Cashflow game by rich dad poor dad is awesome for taking investment habits and cash managements and applying them into a mini lifecycle that rhymes with real life.
If youre new to investing, or just sharpening your skills, I definitely recommend both games.
Have a great day, Cheers!
How to create auto trading bots for zero costHello Everyone,
Following are the things we discussed
🎲 Minimal Components of Auto Trading System:
Source where signals are generated
Exchange/Broker where orders are placed
Integration component which bridges both
🎲 In this example
Source - is our tradingview system and a sample script which generate alerts. Do not use this script for trading as it is only created for demonstration.
Exchange - We are going to use BingX exchange for this example as we only have this implementation in our integration system.
Integration System - www.pipedream.com is used for integration. This is cloud based integration product which is very flexible. Platform also allows users to contribute towards the product. Hence, it is very easy for us to develop integration to any broker or exchange which has API support.
🎲 Limitations
BingX APIs are fairly new and hence there are not much features. There is no option to place stop order.
It has option to place only limit/market orders
Stop loss is not possible via API
🎲 Steps:
🎯BingX
- Create account and enable perpetual futures trading
- Setup google authenticator and add valid email and phone.
- Create API - it will ask for Google authenticator code and email and phone OTPs.
- Store api key and secret key in safe place.
🎯Tradingview
- Create a script which can send stop, target, ticker information as signal.
- Study the existing idea about customising alerts for better understanding on how to achieve this.
🎯Pipedream
- Create account and setup BingX as source (needs API Key and Secret Key derived from BingX)
- Create Webhook trigger and capture webhook URL.
- Provide this URL in alerts to generate alert messages which are sent to webhook by default.
- Once alert is sent, load the alert in pipedream source and built rest of the workflow including calculate leveraged position and bracket order trades.
- Once tested, deploy the workflow so that workflow will keep listening to incoming alerts to generate trades.
Please note: the discrepancy in leverage calculation caused due to two things:
Lower timeframe used for generating faster alerts. Since the volatility is small, gaps can be huge.
The workflow did not run at once. Hence the delay caused rest of the issues resulting in miscalculations.
These problems however will not come when orders are placed via alerts and executed automatically.
Know when you have trading edge, and know when to clean housebull trades when over sold,
bear trades when overbought,
and tidy up the house when in the middles.
when you know you dont have edge, trade small and clean up. wait for you setup scenario.
dont be in a rush to lose money
the market will always take your money, dont rush it. wait for you sweet spot for better reward to risk.

An Introduction to Trading the Markets Part 3 - MANAGING YOUPart 3 of a 3 part Tutorial - Managing You. In this tutorial I help the beginner understand the different types of personality and to put in some tools to allow you to become a better trader. It's not an exact science, but if you can learn when to trade (and when not), if you learn how to manage the trade then you should have removed most of the 'noise' that can tempt the amateur to run their losses/cut their gains! But knowing your personality type can help enormously in generating consistent returns! Happy Trading
