1-Indicator Strategy For Beginners...The Stochastic Hey Rich Friends,
Happy Wednesday!
I wanted to share one of my top 3 favorite indicators with you.... The Stochastic (STOCH). As a leading (vs lagging) indicator, it is perfect for beginners because you can find entry and exit signals with only a few key details.
Adding the STOCH to your chart:
1. Search the indicators for "STOCHASTIC" and click once to add to your chart. The only thing that I modify is the thickness of the lines but feel free to make further changes to your liking.
2. Make sure that the "indicators and financial values" option is ON. Right-click your scales, select labels, and make sure "indicators and financial values" is checkmarked.
Entry signals for a buy:
- The STOCH is facing up
- The fast line (blue) is above the slow line (orange)
- The STOCH has crossed above the 20% level, from oversold, back into the blue-shaded area
Exit the trade or take profit once the STOCH has crossed back below the 80% level, from overbought, into the blue-shaded area.
Entry Signals for a sell:
- The STOCH is facing down
- The slow line (orange) is above the fast line (blue)
- The STOCH has crossed below the 80% level, from overbought, back into the blue shaded area
Exit the trade or take profit once the STOCH has crossed back above the 20% level, from oversold, into the blue-shaded area.
I hope that this video helps someone become a more independent and profitable trader. Let me know in the comments if you try this strategy!
Peace and Profits,
Cha
The Anti: A Super Powerful 1:1 SetupIn this video, I discuss The Anti a trade first mentioned by Linda Raschke in her 1996 book Street Smarts. Her version used a Stoch indicator but, I prefer a modified MACD indicator. To take this setup, you first need an indication of market reversal. In our case that will be climatic activity.
So this trade has 4 parts:
Climatic activity or other indication of possible market reversal
First leg
MACD or Stoch slow line change of trend
MACD or Stoch fast line hooking back into the slow line (against the trend)
Market Recap: Zooming Out To Get More ContextWhen the day started there wasn't much to see in terms of price action. I needed to zoom out to get some perspective on the market and the hourly timeframe provided just that. We had some climatic activity to the downside where the market could reverse. Early in the morning, it did exactly that but then the news hit, and the day got crazy.
A Trading Plan MUST Include A Sound Risk Management StrategyOne of the biggest mistakes a trader can make is to neglect the aspect of risk management. In this video, I divulge the most pivotal lesson I’ve gleaned from my experience in trading. During the initial years of my trading journey, I disregarded the importance of risk management, which proved to be detrimental in a significant way. The watershed moment of my trading career came after incurring substantial financial losses. This experience was a stark revelation of the imperative nature of a robust risk management strategy for trading success. It was an excruciatingly costly lesson. Should you have bypassed dedicating time to understand risk management, you might be on the brink of a potential calamity. By watching this video, I hope you can sidestep the blunder I once made in the nascent stage of my trading endeavors.
Three Aspects of a Trade Entry, Risk Management, ExitWelcome to our discussion on the three vital aspects of a trade: Entry, Risk Management, and Exit. Mastering these components is crucial for successful trading. Let's delve into each aspect, understanding their significance and how they contribute to your trading strategy.
Entry:
The entry point marks the initiation of a trade. While it may seem straightforward, it sets the foundation for your entire trade. When choosing an entry point, consider factors such as market trends, support and resistance levels, and technical indicators. Your entry should align with your trading plan and signal a high probability of profitability. Remember, a well-timed entry can maximize your potential gains and minimize risks.
Risk Management:
Effective risk management is the cornerstone of trading success. This aspect requires careful consideration and planning. Assess the amount of capital you're willing to risk on each trade and set appropriate stop-loss levels to limit potential losses. Remember, preserving capital is paramount to long-term profitability.
Exit:
The exit point marks the closure of a trade and realization of profits or losses. While it's often considered the simplest aspect, it's equally critical. Establish clear exit criteria based on your trading strategy, whether it's a predetermined price target, trailing stop, or technical signal. Stick to your exit plan without succumbing to emotional impulses or market noise. A disciplined approach to exiting trades ensures that you capture profits while minimizing potential losses.
Importance of Each Aspect:
Entry: Sets the stage for the trade and influences its outcome.
Risk Management: Protects your capital and ensures longevity in trading.
Exit: Determines the realization of profits and mitigation of losses.
In summary, prioritize each aspect of the trade process, giving due attention to entry, meticulous risk management, and disciplined exits. By mastering these fundamentals, you'll enhance your trading skills and improve your overall performance in the markets.

Where to Put Your TP and SL | Learn in 10 MinutesHey Rich Friends,
This quick video will explain how I easily find my TP and SL for my Forex Trades. I've noticed how many new traders struggle with this, so hopefully this video will help. Here is what I do:
1 . Identify the overall trend of the market.
It is important to understand that a Selling market will look like a roller coaster going up, have more red candles and it will continue to create Lower Highs and Lower Lows. A Buying market will look like a roller coaster going down, have more green candles, and continue to create Higher Highs and Higher Lows. This is very important.
2 . Collect my confirmations for the potential trade. Here are some questions I ask myself:
- What color is the current candle?
- Are the candles above or below my EMAs?
- Have the EMAs crossed?
- Is my Momentum indicator facing up or down? Is it positive or negative?
- Is my Stochastic facing up or down? Is the Indicator's financial value above 50?
These are the answers you should get:
- Bullish/Buying: Green, Above, Up, Over, Higher, and Positive
- Bearish/Selling: Red, Below, Down, Under, Lower and Negative
3. Enter the market at Market Execution or set a Pending Order.
4. Choose my TP and SL using the Long position tool for buying and the Short position tool for selling.
Buys: Place TP above previous high and SL below the previous low
Sells: Place TP below previous low and SL above the previous high
- Peace and Profits, Cha
A Good Practice Destroys ItselfWe take on a discipline to do something we don't naturally do or want to do. We set some rules that will be uncomfortable and ride out the restless energy.
Keep in mind that a good practice destroys itself, the whole point of a discipline is to get to the point where we don't need the discipline anymore. That is called transformation and it takes time.
By being consistent with discipline over time, the reactionary impulses begin to die down and you will find yourself more balanced. This is where true intuition can begin to show up.
At some point, you might see where one of your strict rules doesn't make sense for a trade and if you come from a balanced mindset, you can make a commonsense decision about it.
This kind of thing is testable if you have an objective method. You test your intuitive results against the objective method results. This is all a one step forward, 2 step back kind of thing and takes time to develop. If you're in a rush, this tells you you're not balanced and need to keep the steady discipline.
