IGNORE THE NOISE AND NEGATIVE EXTERNAL ENERGYTrading is a one big system that consists of various different components: technicality, psychology, money management and so forth. The most difficult one out of all the elements is definitely psychology. Human psychology is a perplexing system that studies our mental process and behaviour. Our behaviour and mood rely on multiple internal and external factors. In our everyday life, our behaviour towards something can easily change when being affected by negative energy. The very same principles apply to trading. Our decision-making process can easily get fogged and mood get ruined after experiencing some losses, opportunity misses and so on. Even worse, our desire and will to keep trading and striving for success can get intercepted by some negative opinions and attitiudes of surrounding people. It is totally acceptable to live a life that others do not understand. If you want something really bad, nothing can get in your way and stop you from achieving it. Block all the negative energy. Keep prospering, working towards your ambitions, and proving all the people that did not believe in you wrong! Investroy

What Traders Want vs What Traders Get"It is a marathon, not a sprint". One of the statements that perfectly describes trading. But what does this proclamation really mean? I quote William Shakespeare: "Go wisely and slowly. Those who rush, stumble and fall". Great things take lots of time. 90% of all people get false expectations about trading before they enter the industry. They think it is a "get-rich-quick" scheme. In reality, it takes months/years of practice, hard work and experience to reach the doors of consistency and profitability. Furthermore, consistency in trading does not necessarily imply that every trade will be a winning one. It just indicates that if you keep following your trading plan, be risk tolerant and disciplined, you will be profitable and successful in the long-run. We encourage you all to be patient and just ride with the trend as there is no need to rush anywhere. After all, Rome was not built in a day. Hope you all enjoyed this quick educational and informative post! The purpose of this publication was to give you all some guidance and keep you motivated so you can continue your journey to the top of the mountain. If you have any more suggestions and recommendations on what our next educational idea should be about, feel free to let us know in the comments section below. Investroy

Stop Loss hunting: the whole truth and the logic behind itGood time of the day, dear TradingView family! Welcome on another educational post by Investroy. Today we are gonna be talking about Stop Loss hunting. We will scrutinise what it is, how it happens and what's the logic behind it, and how to possibly avoid being "liquidated". Have you ever had the price trigger your Stop Loss before impulsing all the way to your Target Profit and hitting it? If the answer is yes, then you have probably been a victim of Stop Loss hunts. But what is Stop Loss hunting? In simple terms, it is a strategy that forces some participants out of the game by driving the price to the level where they have set their Stop Loss orders. As we all know, retail traders always look for some sort of confirmations before entering a position. It can be a candlestick pattern, a moving average cross, a double top / double bottom formation and so on. They enter a position and set their Stop Loss a few pips above/below the local supply/ demand level . What happens 90% of the time is the price spikes up/down, hits the Stop Loss, liquidates so many positions and participants from the trade, and then continues moving alongside the trend. Why does it happen? Institutional traders know exactly what they need to do and which levels they need to buy/sell. Consequently, they set their buy/sell limit orders at places where they know retailers would set their Stop Losses, because they need to generate liquidity before jumping in the train. It does not necessarily signify that they track where retailers put their Stop positions, it is just they are more than sure which levels are crowded with Stop Loss orders. We have prepared some examples in order to better elaborate on the issue and scrutinise how the case looks visually. Of course, these are only simple exemplars. It does not unquestionably mean that the price will always behave this way as the market conditions change quite often. Looking at Example #1, we can see that the price spiked above the level of the right shoulder of the formed H&S pattern before continuing its downside movements. Now, which action do most retailers take once they spot these textbook patterns? They execute right away with their Stop Loss above/below the structure, which results in the positions getting wiped out. Example #2 shows how the price spikes below/above obvious levels of support/resistance before continuing movements in the deliberate destinations. Example #3 illustrates how obvious ascending/descending/sideways channels are, and how easy it is to get liquidated instantly, before the price carries on moving in the destined end. How to avoid being eliminated? Well, you won't always be able to run away from Stop Loss hunting, but if you develop a proper working strategy against it, you will be able to identify possible zones filled with Stop Loss orders and avoid setting one around that area. If you are not gonna think long and hard about where you are gonna put your Stop orders, you will easily get eliminated in a sea of Stop Losses. Thus, think outside of the box and have patience before jumping in a particular trade. Hope this educational idea is useful!

Trading Mountain: How to reach the top step-by-stepHey, family! Good time of the day and welcome on another educational post. As we all know, the road that leads to successful and consistently profitable trading is a pretty difficult and long one. It takes years of hard work, patience, dedication, and experience to reach the top of the trading mountain. Many beginners make similar mistakes before starting their journey. They tend to have false expectations and a distorted vision of the big picture. As it can be inferred from the graphical illustration, the mountain pattern connects dots and shows a realistic path of a successful trader to the top of the hill. We all start somewhere, right? We start taking our first steps and making ourselves familiar with the thing we are interested in. In the example of trading, it can be the first YouTube video that we watch, a chapter of a book related to investments that we read, first chart analysis that we make and many more. What comes next? We decide on the type of a trader that we are. Do you have enough time to sit in front of the charts for several hours and press BUY/SELL buttons, or you are busy 90% of the time and prefer having a portfolio full of long-term positions? After we have decided what our strategy will look like, we build a trading plan around it and make it a part of our lifestyle. We identify our trade entry criteria, risk management plan and so forth. Backtesting our trading plan is a vital part for the journey. It can take days, weeks or even months. However, it will be worth it at the end of the day, as it is crucial to link our strategy with the trading plan and find out how profitable it will be. Executing, optimising, journaling. Where did I make a mistake? What could have been done better? What should I change in my trading plan? It is important to stick to one single trading plan and optimise it along the way. Before trading with real money, it is recommended to open positions on a demo account with virtual money. Getting a hand of things, practising the market and gaining experience is important. After having traded on a demo account for several consecutive weeks, months or even years, we can move to a real trading account. Demo account is completely different from a real account, both psychologically and mentally. Putting real money on the line is much harder than playing around with fake simulation money. Thus, it is advised to start with a small amount and get used to it before moving to larger sums of money and increasing the trading capital. After everything is went through and all hills are climbed, the top of the mountain will be reached. Of course, being a professional trader does not necessarily signify that there will be no failing trades and the win rate will always be above 90%. Losing days, weeks and even months will always happen. However, as long as you diversify your portfolio, stay cold-blooded, disciplined, and follow risk management principles, you will be profitable in the long-run.

The Power of a good Risk-to-Reward ratio. Reality of tradingRisk Management, alongside with discipline, experience and skillset, is one of the keys to unlock the doors of successful and profitable trading. As it can be inferred from the table, even with as low as 40% win rate, it is more than possible to stay consistent and make nice returns, as long as risk management principles are followed. *We used 30 pips Stop Loss and 60/90/120 pips Target Profits as a projection. It does not necessarily signify that 1% risk equals 30 pips Stop Loss, as different pairs have different pip values, price differences etc. Moreover, we determine our Stop Loss based on the amount of capital we are willing to risk on a particular trade, price action, intuition and other factors.*

Journey of a Trader: All of us have gone through this!Good time of the day, dear TradingView family. Happy new month! May March bring you lots of happiness, love, and profits. Today we are gonna be doing a quick reality check and scrutinizing a long way every trader goes through before becoming successful and consistent. All beginning traders get super motivated and excited before beginning this long journey. Instagram “gurus” create false expectations and trick people into thinking they will be making quick profits and becoming millionaires with a $100 capital. Beginner’s luck is real and super relevant in this case. Without having a proper trading plan and a backtested strategy, newbies jump into the markets and start trading full-speed. “Wow, I made my first profits! I can keep going like this and make lots of “Benjamins”. Overtrading, greed and self-confidence lead to a losing streak, panic, anger, and loss of faith. Solutions need to be found, and therefore traders start changing strategies and trying to find a way to the doors of success. They lack motivation and hunger to keep going. They start questioning themselves and thinking whether they should quit or keep pushing. At this stage of the journey, around 90% of beginners give up and leave the markets. The remaining 10% still have hope, so they keep grinding and enhancing their trading capabilities. After some time, they start seeing some progress in their abilities. They start having more winning trades now, and they become breakeven traders, meaning they neither make any profits nor encounter any losses. They stick to their strategy and optimize it along the way. They plan, execute and journal all trades. After a few months, they finally reach the doors of success and profitability. Of course, they do not get greedy or self-confident. Though, they still have losing days/weeks/months, their main focus is concentrated on long-term growth and prosperity. They know that if they keep following their trading strategy, obeying risk management principles and being disciplined, they will always be profitable in the long run. To sum up and to motivate the beginners reading this: if you are going through hard time in the markets, if you do not know what to do or how to make thing work, keep pushing more and more. There is always a golden sky at the end of every storm. Therefore, never feel discouraged, do not give up, and keep grinding. YOU WILL ALL MAKE IT!

Why do most traders fail? Common reasons that lead to failureWe have listed some of the main reasons that incline most traders towards lack of success. After being in this industry for quite a few years, we have noticed that 90% of beginner traders make the same mistakes all over again. We would like to address those issues below, and provide some recommendations: 1) Overtrading is a problem that many beginners and experienced players in the market face. Quality will always be over quantity. Taking a few high-probability trades is much more convenient and professional than buying and selling many positions at the same time. 2) Risk management should be strictly followed in all cases. Many traders tend to risk 5-10% on a single position and end up blowing their accounts. It is much safer and better to risk 1-2% per trade and keep things consistent. 3) Adding 10s of indicators into their charts and making their graphs messy is what many participants of the markets do. Making trading decisions based purely on indicators lead to failure 90% of the time. It is essential to rely on price action and use indicators as confluences. 4) "I will start trading with $100 and flip it into thousands of dollars in a few months, because I have seen a guy on Instagram do the same". That's such an unrealistic and distorted statement. Always set your expectations low if you want to be profitable in this field. Moreover, do not trust fake Instagram "gurus". 5) Never ignore the major fundamental drivers, as in some particular cases they can easily make the market jump around. 6) "Many authors on TradingView are going short on BITCOIN! Let's go and do the same". Never rely on randomness and other people's opinions and analyses. Make your own chart analysis and use other authors' views as a means of confirmation. 7) Always and always journal your trades. It will help you a lot in identifying your errors and fixing them. 8) Patience is always the key. Those who rush, stumble and fall. 9) Do not let a win get to your head and a loss get to your heart. Always remain cold-blooded and emotionless. 10) It is impossible to be profitable and consistent in this sector without having a valid trading strategy. Create a trading plan that works for you the best and stick to it for the long-run. 11) Many novices tend to increase their risk in order to make more profits. Instead of increasing the risk, increase your trading capital! 12) Getting aggressive and trying to open a trade every minute is not a way to go. It is important to remain calm, trade with caution, and be patient! 13) If you want it, you will get it. Most of beginners do not treat trading as a serious business and they spend less time practising it. In order to be successful and make money, you need to put in work! 14) Greed is not an option! Always set realistic target profits and enjoy your gains. Holding a trade forever is not a way to go 15) Giving up is for the weak. If you ever feel like giving up and quitting it all, think about that one reason that made you start

How to build a Trading Strategy?Hey, fam, welcome on another educational post! The topic is the following: step-by-step guide to building a working trading strategy The process of building a trading strategy that will lead one to the doors of consistent and profitable trading is a pretty difficult one and it takes quite some time and effort. 1) Firstly, it is crucial to identify what kind of trader you are. If you have plenty of time in your hands to to sit in front of the monitor and go through the charts 24/7, then scalping or intraday trading would be suitable for you. If you enjoy clicking “Buy” and “Sell” buttons and opening 10-15 or even more transactions per day, then two of the above listed styles would be suitable for you. On the other hand, if your timetable is packed with different activities all the time and you do not have enough time to sit in front of the charts, swing or position trading would work the best for you. If you are aiming for making big gains instead of small “quick profits”, then both swing trading and position trading can fill your needs. 2) Moving on to the next step, it is crucial to have a watchlist, or in other word, a "favourites" list. It is better to have a batch of 5-10 favourite tradeable securities, than trading random things all the time. Let’s bring a real-life example: Would you prefer having 5 pets and take care of them individually, or 40 pets? What we are trying to emphasise, it is better to make yourself familiar with a pair and be able to read it like a book. Moreover, it is much easier to monitor 10 familiar setups rather than 50 random pairs. Thus, take some time skimming through various setups, and add them into your watchlist upon “falling in love with them”. 3) Always have a clear entry and exit strategy, and always ask yourself the following questions before entering a trade: “Why am I buying/selling this security?”, “Where are my Target Profit and Stop Loss set?”, “What portion of my trading capital am I risking on this trade?”. Every trader has his or her own entry and exit plan. Try to thoroughly examine all possibilities and see what works best for you. For example: enter when a nice wick candle has been formed around the area of demand/supply that aligns with 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, set a fixed Target Profit of 1:3 Risk-to-reward, set the Stop Loss below the formed Double Bottom . 4) Execute, journal, optimize! If a trade goes wrong, ask yourself a question: “What went wrong and could I have prevented it?”. Make some modifications in your plan if necessary. 5) Never underestimate fundamentals and heavy economic or real-life news. Some examples are NFP, Markit Manifacturing PMI, quarter/annual GDP growth news. Moreover, wars/conflicts between two countries are crucial to be aware of as well. These heavy news have it all to mess the market around. Therefore, always consider these events, make your fundamental analysis and trade accordingly. Move your Stop Loss to the Breakeven point, or even exit a trade earlier in loss if needed, in order to stay safe before the news hit. 6) Last but not least, and most importantly, always stay patient, disciplined, free of emotions, cold-blooded, and remain loyal to your trading plan! “But my plan is not working. I endured 3 losses in a row. Should I immediately change my plan?”. The answer is a big fat “NO”. Instead of changing your strategy that took you so long to put together, think of identifying the week points and optimizing the plan.

Traders vs Gamblers: Know the main differences!Hey, fam! Happy Friday and welcome on another educational post. The topic is the following: differences between a trader and a gambler. We are gonna go through 6 crucial points and elaborate how traders are different from gamblers. 1) As a trader, one’s aim is to focus on the next 100 trades instead of the next 10. Long-term success, profitability, and consistency are two of the main things traders should target. However, a gambler’s wish and desire is to make quick money. 2) A successful trader/investor has a backtested trading plan that he sticks to and optimizes along the way, adapting to changing market conditions. On the other hand, gamblers like to trade based off what other people think and tweet, or by simply opening a random Buy/Sell position and hoping it plays out successfully. 3) Profitable traders always diversify their portfolio and risk no more than 1-2% per trade. On the contrary, gamblers go “full margin mode” on a single trade without setting a Stop Loss and end up blowing their accounts and blaming the markets. 4) Chasing markets and rushing the process is not what real traders do. Instead, they follow their plan and wait for the price to play out and match their entry criteria before executing. Nonetheless, gamblers like to overtrade, open positions based on nothing, make biased decisions. 5) When enduring a loss or two (or three), traders neither get emotional nor try to revenge the markets. They know that if they obey risk management principles and open high risk-to-reward positions, they will cover all their previous losses and get back to making profits. Gamblers, on the other hand, get angry and start attempting to revenge the market by making foolish decisions and entering many illogical trades. 6) Last but not least, if you want to be successful and profitable in this field, you have to treat trading as a business and take things seriously. Those that think markets are a playground or a casino machine will never succeed in this space.

Success is a one big IcebergJust like real life, trading life is full of ups and downs. You know those days when you wake up with an absolutely awful mood and you can't figure out possible reasons? Well, there could be several factors influencing it: negative energy of the outside world, bad weather, personal problems and so forth. It is very similar to checking the markets and noticing that everything is so choppy that there is nothing to trade. Several determinants here as well, such as heavy economic news, holidays, or just a bay day with no opportunities (after all, not every day is a trading day). One thing that gets us through these challenges faced is patience, because, after all, time heals all pain wounds and fixes most of our problems. I quote Shakespeare: “The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones". To reverse-engineer and interpret it into the trading language: "People only see the end goal, the glory, the monumental win. They don’t see the dedication, hard work, persistence, discipline, disappointment, sacrifices, and many failures it takes to reach success". In more simple terms, people only see the tip of the Iceberg (success, amazing profits, consistency), and not the bottom of it (sleepless nights, hard work, dedication, failure, pain). Not a single skill is learnt over the course of a night. Just like it takes several years of practice, hard work and expertise to become a successful lawyer, a famous actor, and an exceptional doctor, it takes years of hard work, passion, and dedication to become a consistently profitable trader/investor.

How to use EMA's as a beginnerIf you are getting started in trading, identifying a trend may not be the easiest thing to do. So here we can see a little example of how using EMA's such as the 20 and the 50 can help. By placing your EMA's on the chart, you can use them on any TF, however just like every other indicator, the higher the TF the more value it holds. EMA's can help us identify trends and we can spot what is known as dynamic support and resistance, where just like traditional support and resistance, the moving averages can now act as areas where the price can bounce or reject from as its trending. The further our EMAS move apart, the stronger the momentum is getting for that trend. When the EMAS are moving very closely together it can help us to identify a ranging or sideways market that is not trending. A crossover can help us to identify the beginning of a trend that is about to start. Always remember, these indicators should be used as confluences, and not to be relied on solely.

Criteria that need to be met before entering a tradeHey, wizards! Happy Wednesday and welcome on another Educational Post for the week. Today, we are gonna be talking about trade entry criteria and checklist. In other words, what we should look for before opening a position. First and foremost, we should analyse multiple timeframes and identify the direction of a specific market. As identified on the table, different types of traders examine different timeframes. The most common timeframes used by scalpers are M15, M5 and M1. H1 and H30 are popular among intraday type of investors, D1 and H4/H3 are commonly used by swing traders. After analysing different timeframes and getting the overall picture of a chart, we start identifying various key zones. This could be support and resistance areas, supply and demand zones, Fibonacci retracement levels, descending/ascending trendlines and so forth. After having identified crucial key levels, we start looking for more confirmations to backup our bias. Candlestick patterns (doji, hammer, engulfing), Top/Bottom/H&S figures, Indicators (EMA, RSI, MACD etc.) can be utilised as valid instruments to confirm our ideas. All in all, going through the steps identified above are important before opening a transaction. In addition, remaining patient, keeping it simple, and following risk-to-reward principles are as equally important.

Rules By Warren Buffett (Educational)Hello everybody, today, we are going to talk about Warren Buffett and his rules and advice. Who is Warren Buffett? In an abbreviation, he is an american businessman and investor with an property of over 100 billion dollars. He is an old-school, but in some way, his rules are really impressive and are working. He also wrote an preface for the best book ever written on investing, The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. 1. Reinvest Your Profits When you first make money, you may be tempted to spend it. Don’t. Instead, reinvest the profits. 2. Be Willing to Be Different Don’t base your decisions upon what everyone is saying or doing. Have your own reason to buy the stock. 3. Limit What You Borrow Buffett has never borrowed a significant amount — not to invest, not for a mortgage. In other words, if you can´t buy it twice, you can´t afford it. 4. Be Persistent A young boy who sold Coca-Cola for a nickel ended up being a majority shareholder of Coca-Cola. This transition does require persistence. Warren is an Realistic Optimist. He believed they will succeed but with planning, effort, and persistence even when times are tough. You don´t have to make deals every day, just watch markets and paper trade. 5. Know When to Quit Once, when Buffett was a teen, he went to the racetrack. He bet on a race and lost. To recoup his funds, he bet on another race. He lost again, leaving him with close to nothing. Buffett never repeated that mistake. 6. Know What Success Really Means Despite his wealth, Buffett does not measure success by dollars. In 2006, he pledged to give away almost his entire fortune to charities. 7. Stay In Your Circle Of Competence Imagine Circle with 3 layers. In the smallest layer, inside the circle, are things that you really know. In middle of circle are things that you think you know, but you don´t. And in an outer layer, the biggest one, are things that you don´t know. Warren recommends to stay in the smallest layer and just buy what you really understand. Otherwise it doesn´t mean that you have to be closed to every opportunities, but first of all, learn something about it. And this leads us into another topic: 8. Always Learn This is really important to understand, because you have to learn new things, that´s no rule, it´s an habit that you need to make. Learn about market every day, read articles, books, papertrade, watch youtube. In these days is super easy to learn something, all you need to have is good wifi connection and phone or notebook. Warren reads up to 500 pages every day. Try to beat him :) (good luck) 9. Two Legendary Rules These 2 rules are good to know, it seems really clear, but someone had to tell you: 1. Never Lose Money 2. Never Forget Rule Number One And that´s serious guys! Never lose money, that´s not your style. 10. Diversify When you are buying penny stocks, you have to buy one large-cap stock, because penny stocks are volatile and can drop to 0. It can make you big profits or big losses. With a large-cap stock, you will protect your portfolio from total crash, because large-cap stocks are not as volatile and as risky as penny stocks. You should diversify in sectors too. If in your portfolio are only oil companies and price of oil will go rapidly down, well, good luck. When you have money in oil companies, you should buy some stock from another sector, for example real estate or healthcare. Quotes By Warren Buffett „Cash was never a good investment." „I´d rather buy a wonderful business at a fair price, than a fair business with a wonderful price." „Big oppportunities in life have to be seen." „No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can´t produce baby in one month by getting nice women pregnant." End So, seems like we are at the end. Thanks for your effort to read it all, because my view is that it is really educational and you should know it. If you agree with me and Warren Buffett, please make sure you liked and i´ll see you again at another post. Have a nice day.

Trade like a casino! 🎰🎲💵Yep you heard me right you need trade like a casino 🎰 Key bit here is trade like the casino operates their business model. Don't trade like the clients that frequent the casinos. Why should you trade like a casino? Profitable traders understand how casinos are successful. Casinos are profitable and make money because they have an edge which they let play out. They know probability is in their favour. How many times have we all been at a roulette table thinking we have a 50% chance of winning betting on red or black. We all seem to forget about that green zero on the table and here in lies the casinos edge. With having an edge they let play out it's impossible for them not to make money. The casino is comfortable with every outcome on the bets placed knowing the edge will play out. Losses are seen as a cost of business, risk is controlled and emotions to are in check. This is why the house always wins! 🎰🤑 If you as a trader apply the same logic's to your trading strategies the end results will be the same as the casino. If you choose to trade like one of the clients in the casino with no fixed rules you essentially are gambling with you trading. Subjectivity and emotions will come in to play. Random winning and losing runs will occur which will impact trading psychology. This way of trading will only end in one way and that's by giving everything to the house or in this case your broker! Development of a strategies with proven mathematical edges ensures you will become the house 🏦💰 Once an edge is established trust your strategy and let that edge play out. ----------------------------------------- Please hit the 👍 LIKE button if you like my ideas🙏 Also follow my profile, then you will receive a notification whenever I post a trading idea - so you don't miss them. 🙌 No one likes missing out, do they?

Stop focusing on the uncontrollable 🙌We have all been guilty of this at some point as traders. The only thing that matters to us is the returns or the potential returns 🤑 Our only focus is those returns which we have no control over 🤦‍♂️ When returns become the only focus we fail to focus on other elements we do control that will get those much wanted gains. Once upon a time I focused on a target each day then each week and month as my only focus. Sometimes the targets were met but most the time wildly missed and I spent all my time chasing money back. Once I started focusing my efforts on the four elements posted in this idea I can control the returns started to come naturally. Every trade idea I post does have the trade history attached for transparency which includes returns. However these returns come via focusing my risk, costs, time and emotions all correctly. Risk is controlled to sensible levels capital. Time is managed correctly as automation and building proven strategies has freed me up from excessive chart time. Costs are controlled as I'm not re-depositing to my account all the time. Above all else my emotions are in check due to working to proven plans along with a systematic/rules based approach negating the need for stressful decision making. Getting those four control elements dialled in to my trading helped the all important returns to flourish. Focus on the elements you can control and not the ones you can't and trading will get a lot more simpler. Thanks for taking the time to read my post 👍 Darren.

How A Crazy Chart Can Make You Lose Thousands Of Dollars!"Crazy Chart" is the definition for putting so many indicators on your chart. it is one of the big reasons to have bad trades that will hit your stop loss easily. Who promotes those indicators says it helps you indicates the next move for the price, while the real truth about indicators that it follows the price only. Also It completely distracts you from seeing the perfect price action for entering and exiting any trades. The best advice for setting up your chart : "keep it as simple as possible" the more simple the chart the clearer vision you will have while chasing the price. Here is some rules you need to follow to be profitable: 1- use indicators for analyzing the history of the price. 2- don't depend on indicators to show you an entry for a trade. 3- use price action and candlestick formations to enter and exit any trade. 4- work with indicators that shows you the support and resistance area of the price. Lastly Know That ( there is no indicator that can predict the price next move ) if that indicator exists it will worth THOUSANDS of dollars and will not be available for free.
