The one-minute chart might be noisy and stressful but...Practice makes you a great trader, and you can do that a lot
on the real-time one-minute chart.
Trading the one-minute chart carries a lot of stress, but that's
the cost of becoming better.
Trading is also about having a peace of mind so that's one reason a lot people avoid it.

TRADING HIERARCHY | KNOW WHAT MATTERS THE MOST ⚠️❗
Hey traders,
I vividly remember how I started to trade 8 years ago, how I was learning, and the things that I was doing.
Contemplating my old self, I notice a dramatic shift in my mindset in regards to trading.
Staring at the charts and desiring to make money on price action, I wanted to become a consistently profitable trader. Making the priorities, I decided to sacrifice my time on studying technical analysis totally neglecting trading psychology and risk management.
Learning different trading strategies I always came to the same result: the account went blown and nothing seemed to work.
Strategies of fancy traders on YouTube, strategies from best-selling books on Amazon, nothing could produce any penny.
Not giving up and pursuing my ultimate goal I came to the conclusion that I set my priorities absolutely incorrectly.
To be honest, I always thought that trading psychology (like psychology in general) is s*cks. Moreover, I considered risk management to be kind of obvious, banal topic not deserving much attention.
Learning risk management techniques, applying them in day trading I finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Reading dozen of books on trading psychology, contemplating my mistakes, and observing my behavior I noticed so many wrong, incorrect things that I did on a daily basis.
With time and practice, my mindset shifted.
I realized that most of the strategies that I applied and that seemed losing to me, in fact, were decent.
It turned out that mastery of technical analysis is not enough for profitable trading. Instead, that is just a tiny part of what must be learned.
Now, when my students ask me about the most important things to learn & study in trading, I always say:
trading psychology and risk management go first, technical analysis is the secondary.
❗ Do not neglect these topics and give them due attention. They are an essential part of your success in trading.
🤔 Do you agree with the pyramid that I drew?

SINPER CONFLUENCE TRADING OANDA:GBPUSD
confluence trading is just multiple reasons stacking up in your favour to take the trade. you should always have some sort of validation to take a trade... my trading style consist of fibonacci levels, psychological levels, support resistance, trend line bounces and much more.
one thing to remember is the more confluences you have the more confident you should be in taking the trade. in this example ive shown how you could plot your confluences for you to find a perfect entry with minimal drawdown. take your time to backtest and practice. get your eyes used to seeing these set ups occurring.
The importance of sticking to the plan 👊👌As traders we are our own worst enemies!
A common theory with trading is as follows. 10% is having a good strategy, 30% is having good risk management and the final 60% is psychology.
If we as traders fail to address the final psychology part of the sentence above then we as traders will fail in the markets.
The chart shown in this idea is EURGBP working the 30 minute time frame.
The strategy is a rules based mechanical approach working a 1:1 RR to fixed stop loss and take profit targets.
I know I have a proven edge with this strategy as with all my ideas the built strategy tester report is at the foot of this idea shows the strategies credentials.
Position sizing is correct I trade this strategy on a stand alone account for this pair and I'm happy to risk 2% per trade of my capital from said account.
So where does the psychology part come in to all this?
The emojis on screen show the emotions I would of been feeling with this trade once upon a time! An emotional roller coaster!
The chart shows three trades. A short which hit TP followed by a long which hit SL.
Then the trade I'm using for this idea which lasted a full 13 days!
But this is where sticking to the plan and the rules I set help remove that emotional roller coaster.
Not sticking to that plan could of created many outcomes.
I could of closed for less profit than intended as part of the plan or worse still could of cut my losses only for the trade to go on and hit TP target.
The above would of then led to more emotions thus effecting my future trading decisions and choices.
With each trade I enter I am comfortable with said outcome whatever that maybe.
That comes from trading a proven strategy, having correct risk management and then by sticking to the rules of the trading plan for the strategy.
Sticking to a plan removes any subjectivity and helps take care of the psychological side of trading.
I even automate my strategies now and not checking trades every minute of the day has helped removed all those up and down feelings the emojis on the chart represent.
I'll end with one final thought patience has to be part of your plan. The markets take from the impatient and give to the patient ones among us.

Insanity... the thing most traders do (intro)This is a short intro to a major problem traders face... in a longer video, coming out tomorrow most likely, I will explain more on how to stop being an "insane" trader and take control of your trading results by working on the most important person in (your) "room", which is YOU!
Just how important are YOU to yourself? take any picture where you are with the people you love the most and look at it, the person you will first search in the picture is you... so I rest my case.
Anyway, this video might wake you up a little, if it doesn't the full version will!
Trading psychology WHAT IS TRADING PSYCHOLOGY?
Trading psychology is a broad term that includes all the emotions and feelings that a typical trader will encounter when trading. Some of these emotions are helpful and should be embraced while others like fear, greed, nervousness and anxiety should be contained. The psychology of trading is complex and takes time to fully master.
In reality, many traders experience the negative effects of trading psychology more than the positive aspects. Instances of this can appear in the form of closing losing trades prematurely, as the fear of loss gets too much, or simply doubling down on losing positions when the fear of realizing a loss turns to greed.
One of the most treacherous emotions prevalent in financial markets is the fear of missing out, or FOMO as it is known. Parabolic rises entice traders to buy after the move has peaked, leading to huge emotional stress when the market reverses and moves in the opposite direction.
Traders that manage to benefit from the positive aspects of psychology, while managing the bad aspects, are better placed to handle the volatility of the financial markets and become a better trader.
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) Biggest problem with beginner tradersHi Everyone, today I wanted to ramble a little more on something that I struggled a lot with and still do to this day, that is the fear of missing that one big trade that your one hundred percent sure that this is the one that will make you a millionaire. This is where the problem comes in many people think of trading as such a simple thing but also over complicate it at the same time. When you ask another trader they may be using ten different indicators on their chart at once they will tell you that it helps them time the market better and is their way of approaching the market, this approach is perfectly fine if that your personal style. But, on the flip side if you ask that same trader if they are willing to create a simple trading plan to make sure that their emotions are in check before taking the trade and this is the trade they really want to be taking. A simple trading plan can really make a difference in anyone's trading career but this is not the main focus for today, I will be posting more on a strict trading plan to do exactly that, keep you in check and allow for your edge in the market to really reveal itself.
Fear of missing out, this is something that many of us have personally struggled with whether we like it or not some of us including myself even struggle with it to this day. This is when you are looking at the chart and without doing a full analysis on the pair you go into it already having a bias on the pair and this will only allow you to see the market in one single way. This causes you to think there is a good trade but in reality there is nothing really even going in your favor, but you think oh no I know for a fact this thing is going down and I need to get in now for a better risk to reward ratio. This causes you to be blinded to what is actually happening in the market and leads you to taking a stupid trade that could have easily been avoided.
Some of you may be following me already and have already seen some of my analysis and post these previous few weeks, while a lot of them went against my initial analysis I did not take half of the trades on my account. For me to take a trade I want to have confirmation which would be a close above the zone of recent highs or lows and after that close confirming that there is more momentum in my favor, only then will I actually take the trade. I have this "Rule" in place to allow for better trades and try to limit me to my stupid trades due to my fear of missing out. I even started to literally sit on my hands or not even look at the charts for a while waiting to see if my trade that I would want actually lines up or if it is a false breakout, waiting for that confirmation has allowed for me to take a lot less losing trades and this is something that I would highly suggest doing in your own trading strategy as well.
You should be able to close your eyes and imagine your perfect setup right now, and that is the only conditions you should take a trade under. If you are taking trades based on emotions that is never going to go well, so many different things can happen in someone's life that can effect their personal trading routines and overall psychology. It is very very very important to have rules set in place to help better your trading and help you along that journey of becoming a break even trader and even a future profitable trader. While this will allow for a person's strategy to really thrive, risk management and the proper set up rules will really improve any trading strategy no matter how good or bad it may be.
Thank you all for the support the trading community has already showed me while I have been trying to share my trades for my own personal benefit and the benefit to whoever may take a peek at my information. Hope you all had an amazing trading week and I will be posting more about suggested topics or whatever I feel like writing about that day, hope you had a good day.
Thanks again,

Trading PillarsFirst pillar: learning to trade is hard
work, but it can be taught.
1) The successful trader
can be modeled and taught
to other people.
2) Learning to operate requires
as much education as any other

yourself:
a) Your values
b) Your strengths
c) Your weaknesses
d) Meaningful beliefs (Spiritual, yourself,
market, system)
e) Advantages
f) Trading weaknesses

beliefs.
6) The development of the system is 100%
psychological: beliefs, mental states
and strategies.
7) You must know your personal criteria in

9) you are responsible for everything that
happens to you.
When you understand this, you can
correct your mistakes.
10) Avoid repeating the same mistake.
Self-sabotage.
11) An operator who comments 10
erroneous operations has an efficiency
of 90%; But that 10% drop in efficiency
might be enough to make you a losing
trader. Follow your trading plan.
Fourth pillar: Position size objectives and strategies.
12) 50% of system development consists
of thinking carefully and clearly
defining a set of written goals: desired
profit, maximum acceptable reduction,
and how important each is.

initial risk.
18) Define your success as multiples of
your initial risk: Risk / Reward → R:R
19)% constant losses. All operations must
have the same price.
20) Make sure the earnings on average
are more than 1R.
21) Never trade unless the R:R of this
trade is 1: 2

volatile bearish, silent bearish.
24) For each type of markup, create a
large sample size to estimate what the
plan will be, i.e .: Entry, exit,
and profit-taking strategy.
Improving Consistency In TradingThis is always one of the biggest challenges to becoming a full time profitable trader.
Almost all traders will have a battle against becoming consistent.
Its something that I definitely struggled with when starting out in my trading journey.
I would go through weeks of profitable trades and building my account and then equally go through losing streaks and essentially wiping out my wins. Or simply from one week to the next my trading results would fluctuate like crazy…
This will inevitably have a detrimental effect on your trading results but more importantly it will have a major negative effect on your mentality and well being as you become more and more frustrated with inconsistent trading results.
So today I wanted to sit down and go through this in topic to explain some ways to combat this problem and improve your consistency.
Expectations
Firstly its important to define the goal… what does consistent trading look like FOR YOU?
Because believe it or not, the answer to that question is different for different people.
So, are you looking to be consistent over the course of each day? Over the course of each week?… Define a time period that is realistic for you to determine your consistency and make sure it has enough time to measure enough trades to account for wins and losses.
Are you looking to be consistent in terms of profit over this period of time? Or are you looking to be consistent in terms of percentage of trades won and loss?
Secondly its important to know that you WONT win every trade.. so any goal that sets out to do so won’t be realistic and won’t be achievable.
Winning 80% of your trades is a VERY consistent win rate percentage.
No Silver Bullet
The honest truth is that there’s no secret formula or special sauce that will turn an inconsistent trader into a consistently profitable one overnight.
As with everything it will take gradual steps of improvement but I can share with you some methods and insights to help speed that process up.
Consistent Results Come From Consistent Processes
The main reason behind inconsistent results is that traders are using an inconsistent process for each trade they place.
If one trade is placed based on one strategy and then you are not using that same strategy on the next trade then you can expect any trading results will reflect that.
Its important to understand your strategy in trading intimately… you should have the confidence in your strategy that if you were to lose a trade, you are confident that over time your strategy will work out.
Typically this scattergun approach where traders jump from one strategy to the next is the main cause of why their results are inconsistent.
Review Your Strategy
Finally you must of course have a very robust strategy to use in the first place… if the strategy you are using isn’t robust and doesn’t provide an ‘edge’ on the market… if you haven’t done the research and backtesting necessary to know your edge on the market then you can be sure that any result from using that strategy will be inconsistent.
Pyschology Tip of the dayHi guys, I haven't posted anything but analysis of the trades I may take in the upcoming week but I have not really covered pyschology maybe as much as I should be. I think this a huge part of trading that a lot of newer members may just skip or may not pay as much attention as they should to the subject. Being angry at something in your life or being upset will effect your trading and will blow your account if you cannot control your emotions. You need to have a risk management system in place that will limit your losses and give you that edge in the market in the long run. I know its super typical for people to say but trading is only a small percentage of the job, the real job is the pyschology and being able to control your self and be smart about your decisions.
For example, today I had a hard time thinking if I should take my NZD / USD trade or not, I was thinking that it is what my setup would need for me to take but the only thing is there is no clear trend but there was a rejection of the beginning of a uptrend in my mind. Since, I am still feeling a little off about this trade I am going to lower my risk for this single trade and I will require a lot more confirmation before taking this trade. If the trade goes in my direction I can always go and add more to make a full percent or even more if you move your original trade to breakeven. Do not be afraid of missing out and try risking one or two more percent the single second the trade goes in your direction, the market will always be their and there will always be a trade for you to take. If not, the hardest thing for a trader to do... is not trading, sometimes being patient and waiting for your perfect setup is better than having three losses before taking a profitable trade, this is only going to loose money in the long run and will maybe make you a breakeven trader.
If you guys want to see an analysis that I do for every pair that I am interested in take a look at the link below, this will be my most current analysis at the time.
Thanks again,

AUTOMATED TRADING BOTS: How to profit with Tezos.Tezos is one of the best token for our robot.
Our robot mainly uses the DCA (dollar cost averaging) trading method.
If the price drops, instead of the Stop loss order, we have a Buy limit order.
This will also cause the Take profit value to drop and approach the current price.
If the price falls and falls, the robot buys and buys. This keeps the Take Profit lower and lower.
After that, the price of the token rises and our trade ends with Take profit, which is not far from us thanks to constant and precisely predefined purchases.
The XTZ / USDT currency pair is suitable for our demonstration. You see very high volatility.
It is through volatility that our robot can be profitable. If the price still went in one direction without frequent fluctuations and without "waves", the robot would earn very little.
We need great volatility for big profits.
Volatility in the TradingView platform will be helped by the Historical Volatility indicator.
This indicator often (on this time frame) intersects the value of 50.00, which is rarely affected for low-volatile currency pairs. For example, you would look for Bitcoin very bad around 50.00 on this time frame.
The key to our profitable trading bot is volatility! At a time of market colapse, when almost everyone is going through and positions in the Futures markets are being liquidated on a large scale, we are EXTREMLY profitable thanks to our robots.
Of course, it is very important that you know how big the position is and how often, or at what intervals it is necessary for the robot to buy more. In no case is every setting of the robot profitable, on the contrary, setting up a profitable robot is not easy.
You will learn how to set up a robot to be constantly profitable in our Academy.
PS: One of the best things about trading with robots is that you remove all emotions and decisions.
We wish you a nice day. UCT team.
FX Compounding Calculator (Do You Want To Be A Millionaire?) Only one way to grow a small account into a large account. That is by treating Forex trading as a marathon race not a sprint race.
Do you have 2 to 5 years?
You can use the compounding calculator to calculate profits. This allows you to understand better, how your trading account will grow over time.
One of the most interesting facts about compounding is, that even a moderate monthly gain turns your initial capital into a serious amount of money over time. A Forex compounding calculator is useful to simulate how compounding the initial equity and the profitable trades, with a set gain percentage, can make a trading account grow over time.
It works by simulating the compounding and the reinvesting of the same chosen gain percentage of the account's total equity. With this calculator traders can input the settings in order to accurately calculate the compounding results of a set of winning trades over a period of time.
The use of this calculator can demonstrate traders how powerful gains compounding can be, and, that even a moderate gain percentage of 2% (for example) per trade, can turn an account’s initial capital into a substantial amount of capital over time.
You will be surprised how powerful compounding can be.
My goal is profit at least 1% per trade and/or 1% per session/day. Look at chart: You Can Do It- by letting your account grow with compounding profits
< this is the holy grail of building your account.
Albert Einstein said,"“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.”
YOUR SUCCESS IN TRADING | Expectations VS Reality 💰🤔☠️
Hey traders,
Being a full-time trader & running a coaching program for the last three years, I met hundreds of struggling traders from different parts of the globe.
Guess why the majority of them could not make it? What was the main reason for their bad luck?
It wasn't their trading strategy, nor their technical analysis. The source of their failure was the expectations.
Trying different trading strategies, following the signals of different signal providers, these traders expected quick gains and exponential account growth. They were actually in a state of a constant search of a holy grail, of a magic wand that will open Pandora's box to them.
Just a single losing trade made them skeptical while the first losing streak made them drop the strategy and return back to the search.
They keep spending thousands of dollars on trading strategies promising them close to 100% win rate.
There is this common mantra, the stereotype about a pro trader:
a guy with 4 screens making a quick buck on each and every market rally, driving Lambo, and living in a mansion.
Unfortunately, the reality is different.
Ahead you will encounter loneliness, losses, pain, and disapproval.
The road to success in this game is long and dangerous.
Get ready to see the skepticism in the eyes of your relatives and friends. Many years and tons of money must be spent in order to make it.
But even mastering the system, becoming a consistently profitable trader you will not constantly beat the market. Your wins will just slightly outperform your losses giving you the means for living.
If you are ready for that if you are courageous enough to start and to proceed no matter what, you are already one step ahead of the majority. Be prepared to work hard and practice much, set a correct goal, and sacrifice your presence for the sake of an independent and prosperous future.
Are you ready?

Retail vs Institutional InvestorsRetail
✔️Retail Traders are individual traders who buy or sell stocks, securities, or assets from their personal accounts.
✔️Retail Investors mostly focus on technical analysis, price patterns, and Indicators.
✔️Because of low volume, orders submitted by a retail trader cannot affect the price of an asset.
✔️Retail traders can come out of trades or their positions easily at any time with minimum slippage.
✔️Retails investors have more quality of life as they don't have to trade on a regular basis and can take a break whenever they want.
Institutions
✔️Institutional traders are highly skilled individuals who have a degree in finance, economy, or math and are employed by large institutions to do the trading.
✔️Institutional traders carry out the most trades over any major exchanges and greatly influence the price of a security, commodity, stock, or cryptocurrency.
✔️Institutional Traders have access to a large amount of capital and exotic products. They also have early access to the latest news and buzz as they have the
ability to pay a good amount to various media outlets.
✔️Institutional Traders manage accounts for larger groups or institutions, banks, hedge funds to buy and sell stocks.
✔️Because of large volume orders, institutional traders can greatly impact the prices of a security
✔️Institutional traders focus on fundamentals, sentiments, and trading psychology.

Trading Charts (What Do You See?)What do you see on attached one hour EurAud price action? (you should write down your answers to as many as you can)-Commonsense
Here are some questions to ask yourself? (Yes, there are other questions to answer) - its the only way to trade Forex for the long term.
1) Any sideways price action?
2) Any downward price action?
3) Any upward price action?
4) What session (Sydney, Tokyo, London or NY) did price action move?
5) What pair are you trading (EurAud)- Which part is in session? Are they strong or weak?
6) What time in session is it? before major news? before session open? during two session overlap? Tokyo/London or London/NY?
7) Where is price action right now? Around a psychology round number? Per chart: 1.60500 or 1.60000. Yes, there are more psychology round numbes.
8) Where is high or low of day with this pair? Do high and lows occur mostly or generally at around same time of session with this pair? Part of edge?
9) When did big bank or institutional candles get involved? How could I have been on same move with them with right risk management?
10) Any doji candlesticks? undecided. When did they happen? Could I have traded a breakout of that range?
11) Any engulfing two candlestick patterns? If yes, when did they happen and how could I have been on that trade?
12) Any pin bar three candlestick patterns? If yes, when did they happen and how could I have been on that trade?
13) When is low liquidity and volume in Forex session per day? End of London to End of Tokyo (12 hrs). Should you be day scalping or scalping during these low liquidity and volume times of day? Scalping only.
14) What is pair doing on higher time frames of 4 hour, daily, weekly and monthly?
15) What is the pip value, lot size on this pair? 2% of $10,000 is $200. Always keep your risk the same on every trade- make trading mechanical.
16) Should I trade a Gbp/Jpy trading during NY session? Yes, during overlap (4hrs) of London/NY session is high liquidity and volume to trade.
Weekly Market Maker Cycle (Go With It)Weekly Market Maker Cycle:
On a 1 hour or 4 hour chart, you should be able to find this weekly market maker cycle. If you know what Big Money/Smart Money is doing, trade with them.
The cycle starts on Monday and ends on Friday, MM (Market Maker) will mostly trap traders on Monday, everyone is back on screens and is expecting a highly productive week of trading. MM makes what we call a stop hunt, induce traders to take wrong direction. So MM will reverse price action against everyone.
This cycle has three stages:
1) We have accumulation where the market maker accumulates contracts.
2) Next we have manipulation, where the MM manipulates price against the traders that have been trapped on the contracts MM have accumulated.
3) Lastly we have the trend release, where the MM releases the intended trends after every stop loss has been hit.
The MM has three weekly templates that they follow, but they wont make this very obvious for everyone to see. Its there in front of your eyes its just that you don't pay full attentions to what is really happening on chart, instead you are being fed with useless indicators and zones. At times, MM may start trap on Friday, setting bait for traders to become victims next week. MM do that so on Monday, MM doesn't start on a empty slate, but with traders trapped from previous session or week. If you understand price action you can see this trap by the MM. Forex is a physiology game, which most realtor traders lose.
8 TRADING HABITS OF SUCCESSFUL TRADERS👩💻👨💻
Hey traders,
Consistently profitable traders have a lot of things in common. Watching how they act and following their ideas & thoughts we can spot a lot of commonalities among them.
In this article, I have collected 8 trading habits that a trader should have to become successful.
1️⃣ - Continuous Learning 📚
The markets are infinitely deep in their nature.
Trading & constant monitoring of the market always unveil new, uncharted elements and things.
With 8 years of day trading, I can't help wondering how many new things I learn each and every day.
With continuous learning you evolve, you become better and it improves your trading performance & results.
2️⃣- Emotional Stability 🙏
The market is a wild beast who always wants to bite us.
And most of the time it manages to do that:
drawdowns, losing streaks...
Those who trade for at least 1 year know how unpredictable and unstable the market is.
A perfectly looking trading setup can easily turn into a big losing trade.
Of course, that is painful, of course with more and more losers, the anxiety will pursue us, the stress will overwhelm us.
Only by remaining stable and calm, you will manage to overcome the negative periods.
Learn to control your emotions, learn to take losses!
3️⃣ - Constant Practice 💪
Pro traders never stop, they always watch the charts, they always monitor the prices, and follow the market.
Trading requires constant TRADING.
Just spending one single week on a vacation without charts, you can not imagine how hard it is to return back.
The trading skills must be constantly maintained.
4️⃣ - Trade Journaling 📝
Pro traders always assess their past performance & results.
They track each and every trading position that they opened.
Both losing trades and winning trades require analysis and observations.
Only by studying the past results the trader can improve his trading performance and evolve. Only by identifying mistakes & peculiar commonalities, the trader learns to lose less than he makes.
5️⃣ - Anticipation of Different Outcomes 👁
Everything can happen in financial markets.
Pro trader always reasons in probabilities.
He knows that 100% chances do not exist.
Accepting the probabilities the trader (even while opening the trade) is always ready for completely different outcomes and accepts each and every move of the market.
6️⃣ - Flexibility & Adaptivity 🕺
The markets are always changing.
If you were trading before COVID crisis, I guess you feel how the reality among us shifted. With fundamental changes in our daily lives, the markets changed as well.
It is hard to say what exactly has altered though, however, we all can feel it.
In order to survive in a constantly changing environment, one should adapt. One should look for ways to be one step ahead.
To beat an evolving market, the traders should constantly polish their trading strategies, drop the things that don't work anymore, and adopt the new, reliable ones.
That is the only way to stay afloat.
7️⃣ - Selection of Right Markets 📈
The trader always knows what to trade and he always has a reason.
He admits that some financial instruments are appropriate for his trading style while some are completely not.
Pro trader does not wander around aimlessly from one market to another. He has a plan to follow and rules to rely on.
8️⃣ - Realistic Expectations ⭐️
Many newbie traders drop trading just because of wrong expectations.
The desire to get rich quick, to catch 20/1 risk to reward trades without substantial losses is playing a dirty trick with them.
The true trader is not greedy, in contrast, he is humble and the only thing that he wants is simply to win more than he loses and make that amount sufficient enough to have a good living.
Adapting these 8 habits, you will see dramatic improvements in your trading.
And even though most of them require a substantial effort and many years of practicing, trust me, it is worth it and it will help you in your daily life as well.
Would you add some other habits to this list?🤓
