How to Construct Your Trading Plan 2.0 Hi everyone:
Today let's go over a trading plan in more detail. I have made an educational video on this before, and many have asked me to create a more in depth breakdown on this topic.
So let's take a look at what topics to include in a trading plan.
First, what you should understand is there are no set guidelines of what exactly you should include in your trading plan.
Most traders will have different approaches on this topic, and some will have similar ways of constructing it.
What is important is this is something you will look at on a regular basis.
You will add, remove, edit your plan so it is the most up to date with the information you want to include in.
You should NOT however, just copy someone else’s trading plan, since it won't be applicable to you.
Below I have outlined the 6 main topics that I include in my trading plan, and I will go over each topic in more detail on what can be included in.
Personal Goals, Emotion/Mindset, Changes
Trading Checklist
Trading Quotes to reflect on
Trading Past experiences, mistakes, and lesson
Trade Enter Criteria
Trade Management
If you have any questions, feel free to let me know :)
Thank you
What did I learn from 2021 in Trading, & what can I improve on ?Hello traders:
Welcome to 2022 in trading. I am very happy to start off the year with a positive attitude and get ready for the year.
This year will be my 9th year in trading, so certainly a journey thus far.
What I usually will do is to look at trades that I have taken in the whole last year, to find areas to improve.
What can I do better, and what can I change/modify to my trading plan that will help me to become a better, consistent, sustainable trader.
I highly suggest everyone to review their 2021 trading journals, find mistakes that you made, and work on them.
Revisit your trading plan to see what areas can be changed and modified. They can be entry, SL/TP, management and much more.
Below are a few things that I personally find that I can improve more on:
Trade Management:
-Specifically, whether to take profit always at 3:1 RR, or hold onto the trade for longer
-Pros and cons and no right or wrong when it comes to this part.
-Sometimes holding a trade longer term may see price reverse and lose profits
-Sometimes taking profit too early will see trade continue to its desire direction
# of Trades Taken:
-Last year was aiming for about 15 trades per month last year
-The more trades we take, the more potential “Mediocre” trades we enter, those can eat up our good trades’ profit
-Can argue and reduce the # of trades to even less
-Instead of 1-2 same currency pairs allowed, cut down to just 1. Unless I can move it to BE
Understand and Accept the Market can Change/Evolve:
-Market is ever changing and evolving with no pre-determine factors. It can be a variety of factors that is out of our control as a trader
-Key is to always stay in “sync” with the market and its behavior.
-Never “blame” the market if your trading hits a draw down or doesn't “work out” from before.
-Understand as traders we need to adapt to any type of situations to remain consistent and sustainable in the long run
-Find solutions to work around it.
Thank you all
Treat trading like a business or you might not succeed:
The Outcome Investors Weren't Looking For in Twitter (TL;DR)As of recent, there have been some major events occurring within the organisation ( NYSE:TWTR ). I'm sure many readers are aware of the fact that Jack Dorsey ( Former CEO) stepped down from his roll on the 29th of November. Forecasters from all over, including analysts from CitiGroup ( NYSE:C ) believed that when Mr. Dorsey stepped down, the price of Twitter would consequently increase (some predicted as far as a 15% increase). The reason for this was that, Dorsey was also managing another corporation by the name of Square ( NYSE:SQ ). As any investor, seasoned or amateur would know, you want your management to pay sufficient attention to the company you want to become a shareholder in. Unfortunately for Twitter and their shareholders, the recent events have been completely on the contrary to analysts' predictions.
So one factor that caused a price drop through this year of 12% was the Biden Administration's winning of the election and Trump being (in some eyes, 'unjustifiably') banned from Twitter. Due to there no longer being any politically related 'excitement' on the platform. Conveniently, Twitter (possibly in an attempt to rescue stock prices) had Dorsey step down but this just caused a separate price drop of around 9% making the situation look very dire. The absolute polar opposite to what analysts had predicted.
Despite the investment community's pessimistic outlook on the company and management as of right now (due to the lack of data to prove management is capable) some of the more intelligent investors have taken an entirely different approach to the situation. This considerable price drop could make the company a very, very attractive purchase. Many have purchased the stock as part of one of the 'thinner' margins of safety in their portfolio and would be willing to take the beating if the price falls further simply because they have it within a very diversified segment of their portfolio. Once again following the primitive, yet proven method of minimising losses and maximising profits through having more likely to be profitable stocks than riskier stocks.
As always opinions, news and facts are always welcome, comment away!
TL;DR: Jack Dorsey stepped down and a consequent price drop followed added with reduced user numbers after the Trump Administration. This could be a purchase now with a 'thinner' margin of safety in comparison to ordinary investments but could have great potential for profit as the price has become rather attractive. Just diversify!

When/How to move SL to BE and to profit in a running trade ?Hello everyone:
Today I want to discuss a topic in Risk Management, specifically on when and how to move your STOP LOSS to BREAKEVEN or in PROFIT when you have a running profit trade/position.
In an impulsive phase of the market, we want to make sure to protect our entry as well as secure profits.
In this example of EURUSD, I managed to get 2 entries in, and manage it to my best ability and secure profits
Trade close down for +7.9% profit
Original Trade Forecast and Analysis:
This is a topic that will have various answers across traders, as this is certainly up to each individual trader’s strategy, style, and management approach.
So understand there is no right or wrong, “holy grail” kind of decision.
It's up to you individually as a trader. I will share my management, and why I choose to go with these types of approaches, and you can certainly use them to your advantage to tweak/modify them to fit your strategy.
Few things to keep in minds are:
1. Moving the SL to BE or/and in profit is a way to protect your entry, as well as secure profit.
2. Sometimes moving the SL too early may “choke” the price, and you can get stopped out for BE or small profit. Then watch the price take off in your desired direction, which can create negative emotion.
3. Whereas sometimes if you don't move SL to BE or in profit, you can watch a trade that hits 3:1 RR or more, end up reversing down, passing your entry point and to your actual SL of -1%, which can also create negative emotion.
4. No perfect scenario or management when it comes to the aspect of trading, as every trade is unique, and different outcomes may happen, since the market itself is not perfect, and can do whatever it wants to do.
Now, I will explain my own management when it comes to moving SL to BE or/and in profit.
Certainly this is NOT the only way, nor it will be the best way, but over the years of backtesting & chartwork have given me reassurance on these types of management ways.
I will then show some real live examples on the trades that I closed down, and how I manage them as well.

AUDNZD -
Original Trade Forecast and Analysis:
First, a general rule of thumb for me. IF the price has hit about 1:1 RR or so, and has broken past the previous recent lows,
I will move my SL to BE. There is no exception in this rule.
Again, I explained earlier that sometimes this will help you to protect your entry when price reverses, and sometimes it will choke the price.
In this case, I would rather take a BE first, and re-look for entry again in the same position, as long as the bias and the price action is still valid on both the higher time frame and lower time frame.
Second, once the entry is in some profit, say 2:1 or higher, I generally will move the SL up to about +0.5% profit or so.
Just want to secure a little profit while not choking the price entirely.
Third, once the entry is in 3:1 profit, then I will move my SL to +1% profit.
This is where I generally will decide whether I should take full profit here, or hold the trade for a mid-long term if the higher time frame has given me the bias.
Fourth, since the trade has already been in 3:1 profit or higher, generally we can expect a continuation correction to form now after the impulse phase.
If it's a smaller correction and price isn't reversing up sharply right away, I will move my SL to about +1.5% profit, set my alert above the continuation correction and observe the development of the correction.
This is generally a point where I can decide to hold the trade longer, or if it reverses up from the continuation correction, then exit the trade for profit.
Fifth, if we start to see a possible reversal development, then I will move down my SL to the recent swing highs/lows,
or just above the reversal correctional structure, and will let the trade tag me out for profit if it reverses.

Creating A Trading Plan and Executing A TradeCreating A Trading Plan and Executing A Trade
As with all great trades, we require a trading plan. This is a perfect example of how to analyse, execute and manage your trade. See linked chart for the initial trade idea.
See below for a step by step guide on how we entered this trade and what we looked for.
Goodluck and trade safe!
Mar 26
Comment: First step: Identification. You have to identify when a trade set up is coming. For this pair, we were waiting for the ascending wedge to break down. From this you can see that we had an impulsve break of the ascending wedge indicating that the trend is about to reverse.
We also marked out an area of interest where price may come back to retest.
Second step: Preparation. We now wait for price to retrace back to the area of interest. We should also attempt to draw a trendline on the smaller timeframe to allow us to monitor the correction and get ready for the next step, execution.
We now wait for the correction to break. Entry is on the break of the correction with stoploss just above the correction. We use the start of the correction as the first TP or a level to put our trade in breakeven. For this set up, the stoploss was only 30pips and first target was 106pips (Risk reward 3:5)

Make a $WISHTechnical:
The has recently been on a downward trajectory. A strong descending triangle pattern is forming. If the stock finds the strength to push through to the upside the stock could reach its previous stock price of the high 20s or low 30s. Good risk-reward to the downside as lower support is in the mid 7 range.
Fundamental:
E-commerce is the future. Powerhouses like Amazon have paved the way for the growth of the industry but there are new players in town. WISH has set up infrastructure to directly source products from China and other low-cost manufacturers. This makes them significantly cheaper than the alternative, a direct competitive advantage. Furthermore, the e-commerce industry is booming. COVID-19 has only accelerated the rapid pace of technological change as next-day delivery and contactless delivery become the standard.

simple but effective GRT/USDTHERE is one of the best and simple technical analyst with trend line . as you see in the chart GRT looks bullish AND it completely , with high R/R . there is a full analysis of the Chart But I just show you the Concept and there is more on the way . If you want to trade this Position Please consider RISK MANAGEMENT.
Visualizing Risk ManagementI would like to save people from getting burned so after 3.5 years of being in this space here is my advice:
1. It is easy to fall in love with an investment, especially when you believe it could make you rich.
Have belief, but don't be blinded by it. Consider that you could be wrong, late, or even too early.
2. Price can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
Getting chopped up in the range will dwindle your capital that can be very hard to recover.
3. If everyone knows it, the market will no longer follow that path.
The moment you determine a certainty is the moment you're destined to learn some lesson.
4. Doing nothing is hard.
It feels good to be all-in, but this pushes emotions to the brink for new investors that can't stop looking at the screens.
Trading/investing can be as simple as drawing one horizontal line on a chart.
Price goes above and you're in.
Below and you're out.
Numbers don't lie.
Develop a plan and cut the emotion.

Be like Jake *educational material*
*This is not financial advice, so trade at your own risks*
*My team digs deep and finds stocks that are expected to perform well based off multiple confluences*
*Experienced traders understand the uphill battle in timing the market, so instead my team focuses mainly on risk management*
My team has decided to use a recent failed trade as an example of the importance of stop losses. Here @SimplyShowMeTheMoney you may have noticed that we place stop losses and stop profit losses on the majority of our trades. If we ever post a trade without a stop loss please understand that we're waiting for further information and that we have long-term confidence in the trade and are not worried about the short-term price action in-between.
To demonstrate the importance of stop losses we must first introduce you to a successful retail trader by the name of Jake. Our friend Jake has been trading for the past 5 years. Jakes trading strategy is simple: he finds a company that he likes, and he invests his money into it. Jake hits roughly 6 out of 10 of the trades that he places. Jakes 60 percent winning average may sound 'okay' at first but lets say Jake is consistent about managing his take profits and stop-losses. Jake may be losing 40 percent of his trades, but he is able to mitigate most of the risks due to his insane stop-loss precision.
But if you've been in the market long enough and have ever used stop-losses then you can probably recall a time where your trade broke through your stop-loss and then the worst thing possible happens...it shoots off to the moon without you while you watch in disbelief with your jaw dropped down to the floor.
Jake knows this feeling very well. So to lower this risk, Jake locates key price areas on the chart where the stock may be at its weakest and places his stop losses. Doing this helps prevents scenarios like the one above from occuring.
Jake cares about the roof over his head and keeping food in his belly. He cares about the amount of sleep he gets every night. Jake wants to be able to enjoy quality time with his girlfriend without feeling anxious about a trade that was supposed to buy her a ring, but is now worth as little as a ring-pop. That's why Jake uses stop-losses.
Be like Jake.

Scaling Into a PositionEver see price nearing a zone of interest and wonder when is the right time to get into a position?
Try scaling in!
Taking a few smaller positions as price moves into your area can allow you to get into a trade while managing risk along the way.
This can help you to not miss moves by waiting too long AND to not overleverage by taking a large position too early.
Take a look at this recent move on BTC as an example.
DOGEUSD - STILL NOT ENOUGH SUPPORTYesterday I shared my opinion about the price evolution of Doge. Today I will share you my pending position on Doge as well. Yesterday I told you that there is an opportunity to buy from 0.40$. If you did that, congrats to you, but you can buy from 0.25 ( that means nearly 50% discount from current price). Right now I am planning to play with the hype, but only from fundamental values. BTC is still in a corrective move, the market need to kick out the weak hands. If you want to play safe, you can use my setup in order to have a profitable and low risk reward trade. (Max loss on this trade -9% expected profit +290% - since DOGE is a highly speculative coin I had to increase my SL level to 9-10% in order to survive the correction). See the charts attached below:
