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 😎

BEWARE IMPORTANT COPPER PRICE LEVEL - HG1! - COPPER - DAILYThank you for your likes and comments! Really appreciated! This is an idea about Copper price, not a financial advice. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ The HG1! Copper Futures have been continuously rising... almost a year. We realized that summer is coming and that this market have been beating all the selling power trying to bring it down of slower it> How long is it going to last? The blue lines represent the channel that the price is following. Being at the top of this channel and seeing a possible strong signal of a pullback, the probability of seeing the market profile change has risen. The volume involved where huge but will it again beat it and keep going up further? The next step down is probably at the dotted red horizontal line. Some other "super volumes" interventions happened in that past at that price level. For a day traders, this is probably something to keep an eye on> For a longer term trader, lowering the exposition is probably smart at this price level. Reentering step by step after this level is passed or when the deep happens.

US30 Take Profit Had a very successful trading morning. Hope you'll did as well. Price kept playing around my asian box before finally giving me the push down I needed. When I previous marked up my chart it was around 1am est time. So my chart was done pretty early. Based off how the market moved and how late my move took place. I will wait till NY session to trade and to markup a US indice. also doing some research on best times to trade this type of pair is going to be between the times 9:30am-11:30am. My move finally happened but it happened around 9. So from here on out, I will be marking up a little bit before opening US markets. Please feel free to leave any advice that will make me a better trader. Thank you Happy Trading.
