BOOM AND BUST CYCLE IN TRADINGThe "boom and bust" cycle in trading is a period in a trader's journey when significant gains are followed by periods of significant losses, which can lead to financial consequences and emotional burnout for traders. Breaking out of this cycle is not easy but very important for long-term trading success. When a trader doesn't know what he or she is doing, but is trying to break out of this cycle, the right direction is needed to find a way out of this difficult trading journey. Here are some tips that will help you stabilize your trading when you are not earning yet but also not losing all the capital as it was before. 1. Develop a solid trading plan. This sounds like a cliché. But if you don't have a trading plan you shouldn't be trading real money. Make a trading plan. A solid trading plan should describe your trading strategy. With a clear trading plan, you will be better able to anticipate market movements, avoid impulsive decisions, and stay focused on your goals. Start your trading day with a trading plan and end it with a trading plan. 2. Everyone talks about risk. The first job of a trader is to protect capital. You learn to defend first and only then attack. Apply strict risk management rules to protect your capital from day one. Because if you don't follow risk management it will become a habit that is hard to get rid of. What to consider about risks? This includes always setting stop loss orders, using the right position size to limit risk. Not trading everything. Less is more can never be applied to trading. 3. Sticking trading strategy. Consistency is the key to getting out of the boom and bust cycle. Stick to your proven trading strategy even in difficult market conditions or during losing streaks. Abandoning a strategy due to impatience or frustration can lead to inconsistency and poor performance. When you don't follow a trading strategy you don't give it a chance to show results. Deviation from a trading strategy kills any strategy. Stick to your trading strategy, give it a chance. 4. Discipline in trading. Discipline is the key to avoiding impulsive decisions. Avoid the temptation to recover losses or over-trade. If you are constantly losing money, just look at your trades for the past week. You will say to yourself, "if I had stopped trading, I wouldn't have lost so much". Why? Because the next day or week market always presents A+ setups that would have easily covered past losing trades. So, stick to your trading plan, manage your emotions and focus on making trades according to your strategy. 5 .Everyone says manage your emotions. Practice emotional discipline and keep your mind clear while trading. But how to do that? Emotions such as greed and fear can have serious consequences on trading results. One of the surest methods of dealing with emotions in trading is backtesting your strategy. You are afraid because you don’t know what to expect from the strategy. If you know all the numbers, for example which days are unprofitable, which session is more suitable for you, etc. then you won't panic and be afraid. You know what to expect. And all these techniques, like meditation, mindfulness or other methods of dealing with stress, will not help you in the beginning. After losing your capital, will you really sit and meditate? These methods work later when you have achieved stability. 6. Last but not least: journaling. Markets are constantly evolving, and pro traders adapt their strategies to changing conditions. How do you know the markets are changing? Or how do you know if you are trading better than last month? How do you identify the trading mistakes that are dragging you down? By logging what you trade, you have to regularly analyze your trading results and be prepared to try new ideas or adjust existing strategies to improve your consistency. Collect the data. If you can't measure it, you won't be able to improve it. Conclusion Avoiding the boom and bust cycle in trading requires a lot of work. You will need discipline, the right approach and 100% focus. Success in trading is not your golden goose strategy or some kind of secret money management. It is a combination of several things that bring success. Constant work on yourself, patience and consistency are your allies in overcoming the boom and bust cycle.

Btc confirm analysis read the caption Btc The technical picture now is more bearish as the decline from the 20-month high reached two weeks ago has continued, with the price trading above the big round number at $40,000 and breaking above some resistance levels which have now likely flipped to become resistance. Despite this bearishness, over the past couple of days the price has firmed up and established a couple of higher lows and support levels. However, the price chart below shows that the price is well within a bearish price channel, although the lack of symmetry in the channel suggests that it may not be very reliable. Nevertheless, there is a confluence of the upper trend line of this channel with a zone of resistance stretching from $40,423 to $40,667. This looks likely to be a great place to enter a short trade if we get a bearish reversal rejecting that area.

Usoil follow the trendline read the caption It has been an unpleasant month for oil traders. Crude oil has risen $3 this month but it's been a rough road getting there with repeated whipsaws intraday and extreme choppiness in trading. Headlines about the Red Sea have been faded over and over again despite bullish implications and fears of an OPEC breakdown remain high. However when you back it out, the chart starts to look promising. A series of higher lows began on December 14 and oil is now trading at a five-week high. If $76.16 breaks, it will be an six-week high.

Btc ready to jump read the caption The 4H chart shows that the BTC/USD pair has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few days. It remains below the 50-period and 25–period Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). The pair has also dropped below the Ichimoku cloud and the lower side of the Donchian channels. Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has moved below the oversold point. Therefore, the pair will likely have a dead cat bounce and retest the resistance at 45.000 and then resume the uptrend trend.

Gold soon on the moon read the caption Gold price (XAU/USD) attracts some buying during the early European session and turns positive for the second more expected buy when European session active successive day on Wednesday, albeit lacks follow-through and remains in a multi-day-old trading range above the $2,040-$2,052 zone. Traders pushed back their expectations for the first interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed) to May from March in the wake of a still-resilient US economy. This, along with the underlying bullish tone around the equity markets, turns out to be a key factor acting as a headwind for the non-yielding yellow metal.
