In this workshop, I will be breaking down 3 of the most common emotional issues happening on most retail traders. To becoming a consistently profitable trader, it's never about eliminating emotions.

What Is Capital Partitioning ? How will it help you as a trader?Hi everyone: Let's talk about capital partitioning, which is a risk management approach for consistent traders to utilize to allow them to leverage their capital. You may ask what exactly is capital partitioning ? well to simply put it in words, it is basically divide up your trading $ in the current trading account into 2 or more sub accounts. So what's the point of doing that you may ask ? Well, with leverage, a consistent trader does not require to have their entire money deposit into one trading account. They can allocate the asset into different trading accounts to reduce risk as well as trading different markets available Let's take a look here: Say I have a $100,000 trading capital. I understand risk management, trading psychology, and will not over trade, over risk and revenge trade. Hence, it's in my best interest to divide the $ in this account into a different accounts, or simply in a liquid-able account such as a savings account, stocks, bond..etc Here are a few scenarios that you can implement into your trading accounts. Understand that the % to allocate, what other trading accounts to deposit $ into, and how to move around the $ is totally up to you as a trader. The most important is to make sure you are a consistent trader before you approach this type of method. As more accounts you divide your capital into, the more % you will need to risk per account as you need to open bigger position sizes now. Any questions, comments, or feedback welcome to let me know. Thank you I will share other risk management educational videos that can be helpful for you. Risk Management: When/How to move SL to BE and to profit in a running trade ?

Crypto Explainer - What is Bitcoin (BTC) + Price AnalysisAlthough Bitcoin is very well known today, many still don't understand it fully. Here's a quick explainer of what Bitcoin is, why the big fuss about eco-friendliness is surfacing and affecting its prices, and what's happening with Bitcoin's price. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that can be sent from user to user, without any intermediary. The Bitcoin token runs on the Bitcoin Blockchain, which facilitates the transfer of those tokens thanks to a peer-to-peer network. In order to maintain this infrastructure, miners (aka distributed computers) make sure transactions tally and are processed correctly. In turn, they would get a small fee from the transaction they processed. There are many debates about “inefficiency and eco-friendliness” in the crypto community today. And that’s the main weak point for Bitcoin. This year 2021, Elon Musk criticized Bitcoin, saying that it is unsustainable and bad for the environment, as miners who maintain the Bitcoin blockchain require a tremendous amount of electricity. On the other hand, what if Bitcoin mining improves and we find more efficient ways to mine in the future? Any improvement in the fundamentals leads to better Bitcoin valuations. This dilemma paved the way for other altcoins to emerge and solve this scalability problem. But Bitcoin remains the biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, as its valuation surpassed 1 Trillion recently. Invest responsibly, and always do your own research. CryptoTicker team

How to Backtest a Trading StrategyBacktesting is a manual or systematic method of determining whether a trading strategy or trading setup has been profitable in the past. A trader should backtest a strategy to help determine if a trading strategy is likely a waste of time and money, or if it shows promise and profitability in a variety of markets. While you can get software that does systematic backtesting… we prefer manual backtesting as it can be carried out by any type of trader, It is a key component in developing an effective trading strategy. There are infinite possibilities for strategies, and any slight alteration will change the results. This is why backtesting is important, as it shows whether certain parameters will work better than others. What Do I Backtest?
The first thing to note is that you don’t need a full trading strategy in order to start backtesting. 

For example I personally am always looking at new trading setups and candlestick formation and then backtesting them to see how effective they are. 

You can test small parts of a trading strategy before putting them all together. 

And of course you can and SHOULD backtest your whole trading strategy in a number of different trading situations. 

How to Backtest

 1) You need data to use in testing… if you are testing short term strategies on small timeframes then use at least a few weeks of trading data.

If you are using higher timeframes then you should be using years of trading data.

 2. Define the strategy parameters. Entry conditions, exit conditions etc. Include as many “If X happens then I will do Y” scenarios as possible so that your strategy is repeatable. 

Its essential to include risk management in these parameters too. So decide on if you are risking a percentage of your account equally on each trade, what is that percentage. If you are managing your risk in another method, clearly define it as something you are able to measure. 

ALL OF THESE PARAMETERS ARE WHAT YOU ARE MEASURING AND TESTING. THESE ARE THE ELEMENTS THAT YOU CAN CHANGE TO SEE WHICH ARE MORE OR LESS PROFITABLE. 3. Use the TradingView rewind tool to go back in time and remove the predictive nature of knowing where the chart will be headed. 

You could go back in time and look for trades from a year, a month or a week in the past, depending on how far back you wish to look. 4. Analyse price charts for entry and exit signals. This can be done until all trades on the chart up to the current time have been located and marked or written down

(be aware that it can take some time and be prepared that you are unlikely to be able to do all of this backtesting in one session… it could take you a few sessions of backtesting and recording the trade outcomes to fully test a strategy.) 5. Once you have competed this process, then you can start to total all of the trade results up to see how profitable or unprofitable your trading strategy / setup has been over time. What Goes Wrong in Backtesting

Typically the pitfalls and the ways that people fail at backtesting are based around not being through enough. 

That could mean that people haven’t included enough data in the backtest. 

It could mean that they left too many unknowns in the strategy so when using it in a live trading situation the strategy isn’t usable or realistic.

Also it could be that people don’t back test for long enough to see if the strategy is profitable or not. If you only have a small sample size of trade then even a short losing or winning streak of trades would dramatically affect the results. You need enough trades to show winning streaks, losing streaks and all between so that you can be confident that your strategy will be able to withstand those situations in live trading. 

Imagine for example in your backtesting your strategy didn’t lose more than 2 trades in a row but when you start using it in live trading you get 5 losses in a row. This is a situation that hasn’t been tested so could show a different result. 

The goal is to backtest for long enough and through enough so that nothing in live trading hasn’t been tested previously. While it may not be possible to fully achieve this… it should be the goal and you should feel confident enough that you have done everything possible to ensure this is the case.

Insanity... the thing most traders do (intro)This is a short intro to a major problem traders face... in a longer video, coming out tomorrow most likely, I will explain more on how to stop being an "insane" trader and take control of your trading results by working on the most important person in (your) "room", which is YOU! Just how important are YOU to yourself? take any picture where you are with the people you love the most and look at it, the person you will first search in the picture is you... so I rest my case. Anyway, this video might wake you up a little, if it doesn't the full version will!

Improving Consistency In TradingThis is always one of the biggest challenges to becoming a full time profitable trader. Almost all traders will have a battle against becoming consistent. Its something that I definitely struggled with when starting out in my trading journey. 
I would go through weeks of profitable trades and building my account and then equally go through losing streaks and essentially wiping out my wins. Or simply from one week to the next my trading results would fluctuate like crazy… This will inevitably have a detrimental effect on your trading results but more importantly it will have a major negative effect on your mentality and well being as you become more and more frustrated with inconsistent trading results. So today I wanted to sit down and go through this in topic to explain some ways to combat this problem and improve your consistency. Expectations Firstly its important to define the goal… what does consistent trading look like FOR YOU? Because believe it or not, the answer to that question is different for different people. 

So, are you looking to be consistent over the course of each day? Over the course of each week?… Define a time period that is realistic for you to determine your consistency and make sure it has enough time to measure enough trades to account for wins and losses. Are you looking to be consistent in terms of profit over this period of time? Or are you looking to be consistent in terms of percentage of trades won and loss? Secondly its important to know that you WONT win every trade.. so any goal that sets out to do so won’t be realistic and won’t be achievable. 

Winning 80% of your trades is a VERY consistent win rate percentage. 
 No Silver Bullet The honest truth is that there’s no secret formula or special sauce that will turn an inconsistent trader into a consistently profitable one overnight.

As with everything it will take gradual steps of improvement but I can share with you some methods and insights to help speed that process up. 
 Consistent Results Come From Consistent Processes
 The main reason behind inconsistent results is that traders are using an inconsistent process for each trade they place. 

If one trade is placed based on one strategy and then you are not using that same strategy on the next trade then you can expect any trading results will reflect that. 

Its important to understand your strategy in trading intimately… you should have the confidence in your strategy that if you were to lose a trade, you are confident that over time your strategy will work out. 

Typically this scattergun approach where traders jump from one strategy to the next is the main cause of why their results are inconsistent. 
 Review Your Strategy Finally you must of course have a very robust strategy to use in the first place… if the strategy you are using isn’t robust and doesn’t provide an ‘edge’ on the market… if you haven’t done the research and backtesting necessary to know your edge on the market then you can be sure that any result from using that strategy will be inconsistent.
