Hagakure : Trade Like A Samurai 🏯👺The Hagakure: The Book of The Samurai records Yamamoto Tsunetomo’s views on bushido and the warrior code of the samurai. It was written in the early 18th century and explains many principles of the Samurai warrior. Many of these same principles can be used in business, sports, trading, and investing to achieve a warrior mindset and overcome your ego and emotions along with your adversaries. Bushido Code The Bushido was a code of conduct for the Samurai consisting of 8 core principles. Righteousness Heroic Courage Benevolence & Compassion Respect Integrity Honor Duty & Loyalty Self-Control Let’s apply these same principles to success in trading and investing. Trading Like A Samurai Doing the right thing: If you have your own system, method, and process with an edge over the competition then if you follow it you should be free of guilt and regret. Knowing you are doing the right thing is a powerful psychological tactic that frees your energy and creates single-mindedness and focus of action. Confidence in yourself and your strategy : You can take immediate action to follow your strategy when you have faith in yourself and your process. Faith in action leads to less stress when facing unknown future events. Positive self talk : We must be a friend to ourself with internal self talk. Our own inner dialogue and thoughts should be positive and like that of a friend and coach not an enemy. Self respect: We must appreciate our past successes and have confidence in our path and future goals. We should never talk negatively about ourself to others. Right action and effort creates self respect, laziness and wrong action hurts it. Know yourself : Be whole and undivided in who you are and what you believe. Ensure your actions match your words and beliefs. Honor: Samurai were warriors with a sense of self worth and lived by the highest code of behavior and conduct. To abide by the principle of honor, we must acknowledge your moral responsibilities for taking actions consistent with or systems and beliefs. Doing the work consistently: We choose the method we will focus our work and effort on at the beginning of our journey. Then our path consists of executing loyally to our goals. Managing emotions, desires, and ego: The ability to use your mind and your principles to override feelings, wants, and arrogance is true power. A true samurai first defeats their self before facing any external enemy. "Study hard and all things can be accomplished. Give up, and you will amount to nothing." - Yamaoka Tesshu.

Learned helplessness in tradingBINANCE:BTCUSDT A classic situation for a trader is the fear of opening a position, dictated by the negative previous experience in an identical situation. How usually manifested after a series of failures (losing streak) and leads to ignoring further trading setups. Let's look at this case in more detail. The material will consist of three components: The biological component describes the possible mechanisms of the brain in the field of decision making, touching on the cognitive error described above. This cluster is of no practical use in the context direct solutions to the problem, but brings the understanding that not all mental processes can be felt at the objective level perception, but can latently contribute their own changes in behaviour patterns. And the psychological component describes the mechanisms problem in terms of psychology person. The release of adrenaline does not necessarily lead to reaction, according to the strength of the corresponding reaction “beat or run", but to some extent capable induce a general mobilization of organs and systems. This is manifested in an increase in heart rate and respiratory rate, dilated pupils and other reactions directed to fight stress. Similar episodes of stress are also recorded by the cortex hemispheres and hippocampus with the formation associations. In the future, these associations will intensify, if negative outcomes prevail over positive. Association cortex conditionally "compares" the number of positive behavioral patterns and positive emotions with quantity negative, preferring to slow down the launch behavior that led to stress. Learned helplessness is a state in which an individual does not attempts to improve his condition, although he has such an opportunity. The key factor causing this condition is imaginary inability to influence the situation, and lack of connection between actions and results. However, if the negative situation is repeated repeatedly, there is a feeling that there will be more only worse. To begin with, it is very important to understand that there is no magic a method that will restore confidence in one's own actions. One way or another, you have to do it on one's own. Psychology cannot solve your problems instead of you. It can only point out some points that worth considering in order to form the correct an approach to accept negative situations and help find a way to solution to this problem. So, what to do if it works for you psychological "feet" before making important decisions based on the previous negative experience? Here are some practical tips. Catch yourself by the hand every time thoughts visit about failures that are not related to a specific situation, but projected from the past. The brain accumulates sums up negative experiences, which is common cognitive error. Although due to feelings of learned helplessness in humans and may give the impression that his chances of success after a series of failures, much lower than it really is, In practice, they are not at all diminished by the fact that was earlier. Your chances of success in this particular moment are always static and depend only on the cold mind and clear calculation. While this may not be easy, it is necessary get rid of emotions and conduct a substantive assessment their results. At what point was your result positive and why was it so? And in what moments your result was negative and,Of course, just try to find out. Probably, if you analyze your failures, you can visually observe that between your failures there was no relationship, but the fact that they went in a row, or the fact that lately there are too many of them - not more than a coincidence. If you determine that the reason for your failures was specific (impulsive decisions/exceeding risks/ignoring your own rules), you you can learn from this experience and, in the future, avoid repetition of such situations. No matter how banal and paradoxical this may seem advice, but it really works in practice. Our the brain is designed in such a way that when we give in to problems, we lose faith in ourselves and our own success. This does not mean that one should act recklessly. However, if you objectively assess the situation and decide that acting now is a good option which fits within the framework of the strategy, do not ignore such possibility. In case of failure, you will gain experience, and afraid to try, you will only start stronger believe in your own helplessness. The problem is sometimes not the situation, but the loss of will and belief in the significance of their actions. The “act when you decide to act" allows you to save or regain a subjective sense of control over situation. If accumulated failures have undermined your faith in success, false beliefs about their abilities. Since it didn't work out before, will succeed in the future. In time, man pays more attention to the experience that confirms this assertion. It only focuses on negative results, ignoring exceptions when he did it all. These fears of failure kill future success. Due to the formed negative thinking patterns in the human imagination is drawn only sad turn of events. In such situations it is important to find special cases of your own success in past. If you lack self-confidence, remember when did you get it right? Think about these sensations. It is necessary to learn to see alternatives, positive developments that form a new self-image opportunity to influence what happens in positive key. In the end, I would like to say that failures happen with absolutely everyone. And it's up to us how we We respond to them and deal with them. Do you lose confidence in yourself and your abilities? or accept failure, analyze, learn from it experience and continue to work, developing on professional field, looking forward to the future success?

What to include in your Trading RoutineMost people dive straight into trading without knowing how or why. They also don’t plan ahead. This is why most people are unsuccessful at trading. Having a well developed plan is KEY 🔑 to trading success! Let’s see what in must need in trading routine: 1. Trading Journal 📝 You won’t improve without a trading journal, your whole trading routine is built around your trading journal. The time you’re trading without one is wasted time period. 2. Backtest 📌 Do it every week at least once. Backtesting increase: - Confidence in your strategy; - Self-confidence to execute it; - Discipline (when you’re confident about your strategy, you are more likely to respect it.) Tip: Journal your backtested setups. 3. Weekly mental preparation ⏳ Write down things like: - What are the things you want to work on. - What are the habits you want to improve. - What are your goals for next week. 4. Technical preparation 💡 - Make your analysis. - Study the different price scenarios. - Prepare your trading ideas. You can do it weekly or daily depending on your needs. 5. Weekly performance analysis 🎭 Open the psychology section of your trading journal: - What did you do well? - What could have you done better? - What lessons did you learn? - Realization about yourself, your strategy and the market. 6. Wins and Losses analysis 🌓 - Open the charts of your trades one by one. - Read your mistakes - Write down at least one lesson you took from each trade. Tip: always take a screenshot at the exact entry point of each trade. This allows you to mitigate the hindsight bias and develop your pattern recognition skills. 7. Writing ✏️ Write down your thoughts and emotions on bad days. It helps you understand your mind and gives you clarity. It’s a great way to focus on the process and be patient. 8. Activities outside of trading 🚴🏻♀️🚣🏻♂️ You’re going to lose motivation and belief with your trading many times, you need to have extra motivational source. If you only rely on your trading results to feed your persistence, you ganna give up easily. If you like this content help me grow ❤️🌱 I’d be happy you add more tips to learn from each other

3 paradoxes in tradingIn life, as in trading, there are many paradoxes. Some things are obvious, some are not. With experience comes awareness, and we begin to see what we have not seen before. Understanding the fundamental principles will help you move on correctly. Paradox #1: The more you need money, the longer you won't have it Everyone who came to trading needs money. Often a new trader is a person who has recently lost his job and now hopes to earn them by trading. Here they will be disappointed. After all, trading is a very risky activity, and if you still do not have knowledge and experience, the risks increase to the skies. When you are in desperate need of money, your thoughts and actions are driven by emotions, not logic. And your trade is doomed. As the saying goes, "if you can't afford to lose, then you can't afford to win." The more you strive to make a profit from trading, the more it will elude you. If you came to the market because you really need money, your brain is already set up for emotional mistakes. This is a bad attitude, leading only to big losses. Paradox #2: The more mistakes you make, the more likely you are to succeed Mistakes are good! If you don't forget to learn from them. If you lost everything and still didn't give up, you got closer to victory. This is a very important point, most of them give up here, and the best continue to work. No matter what anyone tells you, the most important thing in trading is practice. Nothing in this life teaches better than the good old practice. Real trading will immediately show all the flaws of the above trading system, flaws in your brain. This is the best teacher, but don't forget to listen to him! Make one mistake, write it down and don't repeat it again. Work it out and continue trading further. I promise that you will learn much more from this experience than from any trading seminar from the "guru" of trading. Make enough mistakes (and learn from them) and you will start making money. It's very simple. Paradox #3: The more you are convinced that you are right, the less likely it is that you have the right knowledge "One of the problems in our world is that smart people are full of doubts, and stupid people are full of self–confidence" - Charles Bukowski. Some people may say that trade is neither a science nor an economy. Unlike the physical sciences, financial markets simply have too many unknowns to have a high degree of confidence in the accuracy of forecasting future prices. To send a rocket to Mars, it is enough for us to understand the laws of physics accurately, but we cannot predict tomorrow's market prices with approximately the same degree of accuracy. Why? This is because we can rely on the laws of physics that remain unchanged, but we cannot rely on the same thoughts, moods and actions of people who essentially drive the markets. The best retail traders understand that regardless of the thoroughness of their analysis, there is still much that they do not know and cannot know about the market. Thus, when they are "lucky", they use trading methods that increase their profits, and when they are "unlucky", they use trading methods that limit their losses. In trading, as in life, confidence is nothing but an illusion. Good luck! Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

Can Interest Rate Be Traded Or Invested?How can we participate in the rise and fall of interest rate? Firstly, we need to understand the difference between interest rate and yield. Interest rates are a benchmark for borrowers whereas yield is for investors or lenders. • Interest rates are the fees charged, as a percentage from a lender for a loan. • Yield is the percentage of earnings a person receives for lending money. Both move in tandem together, meaning if yield moves higher, interest rates will follow. Discussion: • Direction of the Yield in the short-term and • Direction of the Yield in the long-term Divergence in a bull market means the bull is losing its momentum, keep a look-out for trigger points that may cause further stress to the market. Micro 10-Year Yield Futures 1/10 of 1bp = US$1 or 0.001% = US$1 3.000% to 3.050% = US$50 3.000% to 4.000% = US$1,000 Note: Micro Treasury futures are not micro-sized U.S. Treasury securities. They convey no rights of ownership, nor or they pay or accrue interest.

Power of Correlation Good day friends... From my last post I shared how I have a bullish bias on XJPY pairs. And here sits beautiful EURJPY giving us a bearish setup 🤣... Am I looking to go short ? Answer is no... Why ?... In simple and plain terms ... Audjpy, EURJPY, CHFJPY, NZDJPY, GBPJPY are all positively correlated so if 4 out of the 5 have ruptured bearish order flow it's only a matter of time before EURJPY follows suite.. so probability is not on my side here. Isn't that what trading is all about? Putting probability on your side?... There you have it, the reason why I'd be sitting this beautiful setup out. Have u been making use of Correlation? Remember this isn't financial advice.

Basics of trading psychology + mecanism to improve winning rateHey everyone Today we will make the cheat sheet with good tips of trading psychology and mecanism to improve his efficiency while trading. This is important because I think they already said to you : "trading is 90% psychology and 10% Technical analysis" , indeed it is. Because a trader with the best technical analysis but poor trading psychology and mechanism will got very low performance or will stay a break even trader or even worst ! a loser :( Why do you need psychology and mechanism to trade well? because it's like if you are in a car but you don't have break, or it's like jumping from an helicopter without parachute. You are going to a complete disaster. Market psychology is essential for the good health of your trading account and also your physical/mental health (yes to keep losing and losing put you in a very bad mood and can be potentially) I will resume all and go deeper on psychology and mechanism on this text to get the best potential of this lesson, the chart is only partial. It's good to print them and have them always on your desk while your trade So lets begin ! 1) maximum % loss reached per day = no more trade Taking losses put you angry, emotionally weak and provoke reaction most of the time. you will be in a mind to recover your losses. But learn when to stop is the best thing to do if you want to survive. You'll have to deal with losses literally everyday of your trading career. learn to tame/manage them and you'll be always safe. tips: cover your losses with your winning trade (by taking half) when you can. If you can't wait for the next day to trade. 2) adding to winners and don't touching at losers This is the simplified sentence of "let run your winning trade and cut your losses". this mean don't cut your loss manually because you'll always use SL. This means don't bother you with losses (again), just try to add some trade on your winning trade when you already took half. This is a good potential wealth accident 3) dont look at the price when you take a trade Don't stay blocked in front of your pc, go for other activity and keep an eye on the trade but not every seconds of every minutes of every hours ;) 4) don't chase the price (wait for a real opportunity, a real good plan), including fight the trend (don't force the market) High quality trade gives you High quality potential of win. Focus on the quality of your setup and then market will surely give you your wage. 5) Find the most profitable SL on each market to have a too short SL put you in losses more often, and when you have a too large SL you wait too much to take your win. Find the optimal SL for each market (ex: personally I use around 200 pips SL on each of my forex trade. Sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more but I try to have the optimal SL that gives me the optimal potential of winning rate. 6) no emotions, you win it's good, you lose it's ok The market isn't your psycholog, you'll trade very bad and make a lot of errors if you have emotions while taking loss and wins (try to avoid them, emotions is human but get outside of the market when you feel your emotion taking control of you trading). Don't rationalise every losses. (try to find the errors to upgrade your trading style but understand that sometimes market is simply irrational) 7) don't take a trade on the same market immediatly after taking some loss. refers to rule 2 and 4. wait some hours or some days. Focus on finding other opportunities,you'll always find opportunity on the market. don't torture yourself if you don't took a trade at time or if you lose it and can't retry 8) avoid following other ideas ideally make yours to become a better trader. 9) trade like a robot (no bad / sad moon, no angry, no revenge trade) refers to rule 6. Even a small thing (like a dispute with a friend) can make you sink into the wall. Be totally calm and without aftertoughts 10)stay humble or the market will humble you be satisfied with what you got by the market. if you did your average weekly performance be satisfied, if you make more be satisfied, if you make less be satisfied. 11)Make the choice to don't trade is also trading when you feel bad about a trade (not sure) and you don't take it you preserve your capital. so you avoid loss. but don't be extreme and avoid every trade. it's exceptional 12) follow the trend trend continuation trader have best result then countertrend traders. refers to rule 4, don't try to find every tops and bottom, If you found a reversal it's ok but don't focus on them. principally use trend continuation method.

Nasdaq a leading indicator of Dow Jones, S&P and RussellHow to use related markets to complement each other? Definitely you can apply this technique to other related markets. In this tutorial, I am seeing Nasdaq as a leading indicator for the rest may likely to follow. i) Nasdaq bear trend was nicely formed, but not yet for the Dow Jones, S&P and Russell. ii) Nasdaq in the short-term has also a confirmation for a rebound, and I believe the rest of the indices likely to follow subsequently. Discussion: • Drawing primary and secondary trendline • Nasdaq has broken above, the rest should catch-up, why?

Market Range - What are they trying to tell us?When the market range, it is telling us they are lost with the main direction. And we are seeing that between all the US major stock indices and many stocks since the second week of May. Prices basically still trading around the same price since then. In today’s tutorial, we will discuss: • How to identify when market started to enter into a range and • Which direction will it ultimately break away from a range market? The concept of “Less is More” When we trade into a contract that is within our means, we will be able to focus on trade set-up that is so helpful for entry, stop loss and profit taking than trying to manage our emotions as we have over traded.

Bear Market RallyBINANCE:BTCUSDT Bear market rally Prior to anything else, it's critical to realize that we are currently in one of them. Bear market rallies are brutal because it's difficult to predict how long they'll last, how strong they'll be, and how long they'll last. It is challenging for most individuals to comprehend this because they lack patience and think in terms of the most minute time frame. Rallies that periodically occur inside the downward macrotrend create a downward trend with lower highs on high periods (from 3 days to 1 week). Some of them result from cutting short positions in order to profit and start new short positions at higher levels. Ultimately, a redistribution takes place after several weeks of growth of 30–50% (or possibly twice that, depending on the market's structure). Before they pull the rug out from under people, they need to think that the macro trend has altered. The market's function is to take money. Although he is capable of giving in, movements usually happen when traders are not around. The price rises if everyone is short. Down if they are long. Although it seems strange, it is true. The market is an evil steed. You are forced to buy when prices increase. Moving lower encourages selling. You must act because of the price. Keep in mind the feelings you have as you move up or down. There won't be much market share lost if the price declines uniformly. However, the availability of rebounding enables powerful players to profit from movements in both directions while also taking the most money possible from you. Months of decline, followed by a recovery. You don't believe it at first, but it keeps getting stronger. When you finally give up and put your chips back on the table, they again take them away from you. Before you declare that a fresh bear market has started, consider how long downtrends often persist. You should expect downtrends of one to two years and possibly a year of unpleasant sideways movement. Both in the cryptocurrency market and the stock market, there are a ton of historical examples of this. Look at the numbers and consider whether the extra funding can sustain the FDV of a sector whose overall valuation has increased 7 times. Do we have a sudden increase in users? new currency The levels of BTC , ETH, ADA, and SOL as of today were marked to the nearest dollar six months ago. These are merely precursors to a bearish comeback and nothing more, as the primary macroeconomic issues still exist. There will be multiple chances over the coming weeks to sell the rise and rebuy lower. After that, the decline will likely continue or there will be a long flat. If someone tells you there will be a new bull market but doesn't know how or why we got here, don't believe them. Any powerful move up will inevitably be met with a countermove below. You'll now start to wonder why you didn't take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit. Don't be frightened to simply progress upward gently. Protect your capital to survive.

The Brutal Reality Of TradingMost of us want to succeed and we want it fast, this is just our nature. We live in the age of Amazon next day deliveries and content binges across social media, Netflix, etc. However, trading is about being able to follow a systematic plan consistently over time. This consistent execution then translates to probabilities playing out in our favour over a fair amount of trades. Due to most traders wanting to succeed and do it quickly, combined with all the information and opinions flying around online, they begin forming unrealistic expectations about what they need to get to achieve what they want. I know because I wasted over 2 years cycling through over 100 strategies, backtesting them all, trading them all and STILL losing money. In practice traders think they need extremely complicated systems to develop an edge, this often leads to more room for human error. What's a fantastic catalyst for increasing the frequency of human error? Emotional stress. What are the markets great at? Generating extreme amounts of emotional stress! The result? A lot of mistakes and a lot of losses. To compound this, we are always monitoring our progress and comparing it to what we want to achieve. This is normal and healthy. However what's unhealthy for traders is how they measure their progress. For most, trading progress is measured by profitability. However, profitability has so many components within it that if multiple elements are faulty, judging yourself on whether you are "profitable" or not is completely pointless. For example, if you struggle with FOMO entries, not holding your trades to target and extending your stop loss, then just because you fix one of these, doesn't mean your results will be profitable. Your P/L could improve, get worse or stay the same. However if you conclude that you haven't made progress, you'll disregard the changes you made to fix that problem and you'll repeat this cycle over and over again until you look back months later, stuck on the same issues, hopping around from method to method. I don't want to drag on, so let me just share an exercise I think is extremely important for traders to implement: Make or find a very basic plan. Sometimes even finding a plan that barely works or even doesn't have an edge is effective. Follow those rules for 1 whole month without breaking a single rule, forget the outcome. This simple 2 step plan most will say they don't have the time for, but will waste years going around in circles making no progress. When I did this about 4 years ago, everything changed. I could go and slowly improve my strategy because my foundations were strong, I was focused entirely on my processes (backtesting, journalling, self review, ATA), not the outcome. I really hope this helps you because it's always the ones who see things like this out that achieve results the fastest, your rush to "success" will blind you to it and keep you chasing the holy grail which doesn't exist. Let me know if you have any questions !

Going Long from a support zone aiming for resistance.I’m just made a demo account after taking about a two or more months from trading. I took the ftmo challenge and I passed the first step but I failed the verification. @baileythebarber I’ve known about trading for about five or more years and I’ve made money and lost money but I’ve never gotten to making money consistently and seeing six figure days. I’d like to make thousands a day and five figures would be great a week I really want to make large sums of money on a weekly and daily basis from trading. Even making cash money from other business ventures. Blue hundred dollar wads of money stacks in my pockets paid getting paid and experiencing the power. money. This trade idea is based off quarter theory trade on the gbpusd 7/8/22 12:56 am Buying from support at 1.2000 large quarter point. Stop loss below the close price of 1.9087 Take profit at 1.21958 I trade from the body of the candles, not the wicks, I think that’s where the liquidity will began and I like to be out early as possible in my take profit ranges, especially if I have a good risk to reward ratio. Let’s see how this one goes and if I’ll remember to come back to this idea. I’m working on being consistent.

Eurostoxx Ultimate Pivot PointsReading charts is just one part of trading a bear market, another highly significant part is a solid understanding of market psychology, heuristics and biases. Having spent 14 years in a QE fuelled bull market where there were few inexplicable events and certainly no major forced liquidation events, it is easy to understand why so many participants get so excited about two days of asset flows out of commodities and into tech names. Yes, the market can go higher from here, yes it can go lower, but calling a major bottom and repeatedly getting attached to these short squeezes is all part of the psychological conditioning that has been happening to many over the last 14 years. Therefore we would suggest waiting for extremes where there is nobody else left to buy or sell, this is where the odds are stacked firmly in one's favour. Patience. Discipline. And more patience.

Shocking Truths about Trading no one talks about EP1.After 5 years of self-educating myself in the art of trading while undergoing brutal consistent losses, these are the truths that set me on the path of surprising consistency after internalizing them.....I hope it will for you guys and give more inspiration to the already consistent ones. Shocking Truths no one talks about in trading: 1. You may have the best strategy, signal provider or learned everything about trading, but what counts is what happens to that knowledge 5 seconds before pressing the buy/sell button. 2. What is Mathematically optimal is Psychologically impossible. If you have a strategy that gets wins of 25R but has like 12 losses in a row, DUMP IT. Mathematically, you will make money at the end, Psychologically you will quit before you take trade 13. 3. You start winning in trading when you believe you can lose (Trading Paradox). Consistently profitable traders have one thing in common: they place their next trade like it was already a loser. 4. Extremely good analysts are most often bad traders....you can be right about the direction but fail in the critically important aspect of Entry timing and still lose the trade. 5. IT IS THE SIMPLE THINGS THAT WORK!. Most people will tell you to look for complex strategies that look for "Random walk algorithmic discrepancies that rhyme with Chaos theories....and all that blah..." But I have been on that path and I hate to break it to you that a guy/girl using only support and resistance and simple moving average crossovers with a verified and bactested edge and discipline will most likely be more profitable. 5. THE MORE OBVIOUS A TRADE IS THE GREATER THE CHANCES YOU LOSE IT. Most people think that if a trade has soooo many confluences it is more likely to work....well that might be true to an extent after which it is a blatant fallacy. From historical data and my own personal LIVE trading results, the probability of a trade working out reduces DRASTICALLY when the number of confluences crosses 5. I theorize that this happens because market makers will see all the orders placed at that point is soo much(cause everyone will see the opportunity with their different approaches) and take them all out. 6. No one can sell a money printer, cause it has no price. If someone offers to sell you a robot or STRATEGY that triples your money every month, laugh and pass, if you don't and end up buying that....you deserved to be scammed. Think about it the person can just take $100 and apply his/her magic to it and print out Elon Musk's networth in lower than 3 years using compounding......and he/she will sell you that for $2000?, you must be kidding me!. 7. Your consistency has nothing to do with your strategy but your mind. I can bet you my life's earnings, that there is someone out there, using your exact entry and exit rules but is profitable and you are not. A better strategy brings in more profit, but any random edge with the right mindset and risk management MUST be profitable. 8. Almost everything in life is a pyramid-scheme, & survival of the fittest and trading is not left out. No matter how much we desire to the contrary, it is IMPERATIVE THAT TRADING HAS MORE LOSERS THAN WINNERS. The winners in trading have to be relatively fewer cause they win a lot and hence they need soo many losers to give them that money. There is no bank that hands at money to you when you win, your job as a trader is to outsmart some other fellow and TAKE his/her money and once you come to terms that every dollar lost by you trading, is a dollar gained by someone else in this zero-sum game, you will realize only YOU has got your own back. 9. You can NEVER completely eliminate emotions in trading but you can set rules that allow you trade only when you are at your optimal state, and gives you a day or two vacation when you are down. 10. Reading this article will definitely NOT HELP YOU, it is remembering it the moment before you place your next trade that will.

Don't worry there will be many more opportunities!sometimes you dont get what you give or what you are expecting! ive been looking this chart for few weeks now and i was expecting a nice trade from this, i did what i had to i read the chart understood it, and made a decision to look over the price and the structure that i drew. and after these days of analysis and studying the idea i had for this market didn't do what i expected. that also happens during our course of life, you want to see the things as you wish but they dont go that way. THATS NORMAL! JUST KEEP ON LEARNING FROM EVERY SITUATION, EVERY UPs & DOWNs, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE CONCEPT OF RESULTs AND WININGs JUST GO WITH THE FLOW. LOVE THE PROCESS. and you'll sure find satisfaction.

Don't let the dopamine get you 🥴Do you feel excited? 😅 This is why. It's all down to the chemical reaction in your brain. Dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that makes us feel good. Should you be feeling excited when trading?🤔 No.🙈 As this isn't gambling and shouldn't give you the same dopamine rushes like a gambling win does. What's starts as initial excitement will move to fear, anxiety, stress and excitement again. 🤷🏻‍♂️ You become irrational and unable to stick to your plan.🤯 Entering trades through boredom for the 'rush' and closing profitable trades too early because of fear of the profit disappearing - all because you risked too much for that 'buzz'. 'So what can I do about it?' I hear you shout loudly....📢 Well this depends on if you really want to change or not, the downside is you'll think you will make less money .... Think about it - you have a £5000 account right? Option 1 - you trade 15 pairs at 0.5 lot size and your account is up and down like a yo yo - but it's exciting right? Option 2 - you trade 3 pairs at 0.01 - your account movement is marginal. Option 2 is less exciting for sure, but if you want excitement go and jump out of plane. Option 1 will eventually lead to a blown account. Option 2 will give you sustainable consistent trading - you'll let your winners run and you'll lose less on the losing trades. A win win. Only when you get this bit right will you start to see positive change. Emotional control is key Be present doing other things without checking your phone to see how trades are going. Exercise patience by sticking to your plan and letting your trades run instead of closing them early. The only thing you can control in trading is YOU Just don't end up letting the dopamine take control! Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for looking Darren👍

The reason for the stagnation in tradingMany times people trying to reach a new level face an invisible obstacle in their business. At that moment, life turned into a routine. It seems to us that there are no changes in life and there is no way forward. This is quite unpleasant. In those periods when it seems to us that our development has stopped, we become unhappy, because, after all, progress is the key to happiness. There are three reasons why we feel like we're marking time, and sometimes it's a combination of these three reasons: 1. Your physical condition Poor physical condition can increase negative emotions. Sports activities cause positive emotions. When you are physically active, you change your mental state and destroy your negative model. Thus, maintaining a good physical condition will cause positive emotions, which is one of the key ways to get out of stagnation. Develop a positive state of mind and get rid of all the negative by changing your physical condition. 2. Time limit One of the reasons we think we are stuck in one place is excessive attention to the past or the future. But constant thoughts about the future or the past will not change anything. As you know, the past cannot be changed, and the future is unknown, so there is no point in worrying about them. We have the right to change only the present, that's what we need to focus on. Stop flying in the clouds of the future, stop suffering because of the past, get busy with the present. 3. Sitting on the plateau Why do some people make breakthroughs that take them to the next level, while others can't? What is the difference between a master and an amateur, a creator and a speaker? The first dig deep to find an answer that will help them overcome stagnation, they do not stop fighting and searching and eventually achieve goals, reaching a new level. 5 signs that bring you closer to a breakthrough 1. Routine. You're tired of everything. You are tired of your financial problems, tired of your boring job, tired of carrying an extra 20 kilograms. Everything annoys you and you want to change something. 2. Unsatisfied. Whatever you do, it doesn't work for you anymore. Maybe it is unprofitable or uninteresting. Or maybe you are tired of the lack of energy, which, in your opinion, is necessary to achieve the desired result. Perhaps your current method has been successful in the past, but it is not suitable for your current conditions. 3. Border. This is the moment when change is needed. If you are on the verge of bankruptcy or, for example, if you have serious health problems. This is the point of no return, you are on the edge of the abyss and all you have left is to take a step, make an effort to become better and reach a new level. 4. Insight. You are illuminated by an idea or a deep understanding of something that opens up a new world for you. You begin to see the world in a new way, you have found a goal that can help you get out, your eyes are burning. 5. Open the door. The door opened... You enter it. At this stage, you will feel a surge of strength, realize that everything is not in vain, and you will want to move forward with great enthusiasm. Do not give up, do not stop, study. Good luck! Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

FrogAlgo: 5 Simple Ways to Control Your Emotions in TradingThe markets are emotional and so are the people who trade them. But that doesn’t mean you have to let it affect you. Instead, learn how to control your emotions and make more money. Here are five simple ways you can control your emotions in trading and make more money. Don’t let your emotions dictate your trading It’s important to remember that your emotions are a part of who you are as a person. But they’re not part of who you are as a trader. Nothing in trading requires you to let your emotions dictate your trades. The best traders are in a state of flow — a state of complete absorption where nothing else exists except the task at hand. In a state of flow, the only thing that matters is what you’re doing. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a down market or a strong bull market — if you’re in flow, you can’t be affected by the outside world. You can’t let your emotions get the best of you and make bad decisions because you’re on autopilot. Set a threshold for when you’ll trade When you get started in trading, you’re going to have a period of time where you’re emotionally charged and feel like you have to trade every day. You might have a specific time period where you’ll only feel like trading when the sun is out and the markets are up. If that’s the case, then trade when you’re in that “charged” time period — but set a threshold for just how “charged” you’ll get. Let’s say you only feel “charged” from 9 am to 12 pm — set that as your trading time window. You’ll still feel “charged” enough to trade, but not so “charged” that you make mistakes. Train yourself to be aware of your emotions The best traders are in a state of flow — a state of complete absorption where nothing else exists except the task at hand. In a state of flow, the only thing that matters is what you’re doing. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a down market or a strong bull market — if you’re in flow, you can’t be affected by the outside world. You can’t let your emotions get the best of you and make bad decisions because you’re on autopilot. The best traders are aware of their emotions. If you don’t know what you’re feeling, you can’t let your emotions get the best of you and make bad decisions. The more you know about your emotions, the more in control you’ll be and the more money you’ll make in the markets. Know the difference between a trade and a position In trading, every position is a trade. It’s just a matter of how much money you’re putting at risk. The most important distinction is between a position and a trade. If a trade occurs when you risk a set amount, a position just happens when you risk an amount that’s less than what you’re long or short. What’s important is that you keep track of both your position and your trade. You might think a trade is only 1 or 2 shares. But if you end up adding to that position, then you actually have a position that’s thousands of shares. Your position is what you have, but your trade is how much you risked. Find a good trading mentor The best way to learn new skills is to have an expert show you how to do them. Trading is a lot like golf — you’re better off with an experienced teacher than trying to learn from reading books. A good mentor is someone who will help you build your skills as a trader. They won’t just tell you what to do — they’ll show you how to do it. They’ll help you develop the skills of patience, discipline, and the ability to be in the market even when the market is not in your favour. A good mentor will also be someone who shares your same passions and interests. A good mentor is someone who shares the same passions as you — someone who likes the same things you like. Being in the same place in life helps — but don’t let it stop you because it’s the best way to learn. Conclusion Emotions play a big part in trading, but they don’t need to dictate your trading. The best traders are aware of their emotions and know the difference between a trade and a position. They also find a good mentor and use them as an expert to help them build their skills. When you control your emotions, you’ll make better decisions in the markets and increase your profits. And the best part is that once you have the skills, you can trade anywhere in the world.
