Patience

Personal Journal - Patience WinsThis is a personal note to myself. Patience wins. After sometime in the markets, you are able to "see" winning set ups. You're now able to stay in trades and ride them. You're no longer moving your stop losses or not setting one. The last issue to tackle is the ability to wait. Far too often you took a win on a set up just to try and reverse it to lose more than you've made previously. Or after a win, you tend to take many losses that end up bigger than what you've made and then some. Be content. Celebrate a win. The milestone of a successful trader is not that he is able to trade every market top or bottom. It's that he is able to wait for the set up in which he knows best. Methodical. Surgical. Tactical. Now this may mean waiting the whole day or not taking a trade at all. This does not mean you've failed or that you've left money on the table. You've kept money. You've kept yourself from harm. This is a win. Wait and win.

How to Trade Like a Pro | Focus on One Instrument! “TO TRADE, OR NOT TO TRADE A SINGLE CURRENCY PAIR. THAT IS THE QUESTION…” 🧿MULTIPLE CURRENCY PAIRS Easier to recover from losses on a given currency pair Less likely to experience not seeing any setups for a whole day/week Better understanding of pair correlations required Can be more distracting 🧿SINGLE CURRENCY PAIR No risk of trading correlated pairs Better ability to focus Feeling of understanding the price movements more Can be a struggle to stick to ONE pair Feeling of missing out when big moves happen on other pairs ✅HOW TO TRADE SINGLE CURRENCY PAIR: 🔲Step 1: Pick Your Currency Pair ▪️Is the pair active when I intend to trade it? Even though the Foreign Exchange market is open 24/5, some pairs may be less traded at some specific times. Refer to "When To Trade Forex To Maximize Your Lifestyle & Profit?" ▪️Do you understand the currency pair you want to trade? If you trade a pair with your country's currency, your chances of understanding how the price of the pair fluctuates might be higher. You will know what's going on and might even be able to know where the currency is heading (we are talking of fundamental analysis here...). ▪️Is the pair too or not enough volatile for you? Don't be surprised to see big swings in GBP/JPY or GBP/NZD because those pairs are considered more volatile. Some traders like it because the profits usually come quickly, but stopped out trades can be more frequent.On the other hand, a pair like USD/CNY will have some inactivity periods and that might be frustrating. 🔲Step 2: Plan Your Trading Good strategies are abstract and should work on any currency pair, however, since you have decided to trade one pair only, you have the privilege of tailoring you strategy to the particular pair, taking into the account it’s volatility, average likelihood of fakeouts vs breakouts, how trending it is on average etc.. 🔲Step 3: Stay Consistent Stick to the plan for at least a month. You might start the month feeling excited. You might get discouraged because you've taken too many or too few trades two weeks in.No one cares. Stick to your decision.At the end of the month, two things will happen: 1. You'll have built more confidence in your ability to remain consistent. 2. You'll have performed an experiment and will be able to say what works vs. what doesn't. Those are two great things for someone who's looking to grow as a Forex trader.

XAUUSDHello traders. Hope you spent a wonderful weekend! Gold is currently in very significant area. If you look higher at Weekly timeframe you will notice that this is close to the previous supply zone, a zone of strength. On the other hand, forecasts and fundamentals indicate that this specific metal will create new All-Time Highs during 2023. So,as a traders we want to make money and benefit from the market following the moves with correct entries and exit levels. Personally, I am expecting a sell from the level of 1880 to 1905. The point is that we never know the precise reversal areas. All we have is educated guesses. One position in 1903 (approx.) and another - half size in the area of 1880 for short aiming profit targets: 1850 (80% closed position for safe,)1830-1823-1812 Important to mention is that from the downtrend started at 2067 and terminated at 1616, we are between 0.5 & 0.618 Fibonacci levels. These levels will mean nothing in case something big is going to be released. Long term speaking, I am waiting to enter gold again in the range between 1803 and 1812 with a targets 1880-1900-1955-1980. Perhaps the market will not retrace to such levels so I am waiting to see rejections of 1820 area.

EURCAD - H&S patternAs you all know {for those following this channel btw}, i have been trading off of the price movements of EURCAD since January and it has been swell so far so good. The amazing part of it all is that price has been building up to form a pattern we all know and love "THE HEAD AND SHOULDERS PATTERN" and it's super valid because it's actually very clear in the D1 time frame. Let's wait patiently till price gets to our POI {point of interest}. Just bringing this to everyone's notice {for many that will see this idea anyways} !. NB: Check my timeline using the attached past idea as a reference to check out all my past ideas on EURCAD

⚡️LEARNING FROM YOUR MISTAKES=GROWTH⚡️ 🌟Mistakes in trading are inevitable, but it can also be a valuable growth experience. Everyone is likely to make a mistake at some point, whether it's forgetting to set a stop loss or missing some important news, but you can turn a mistake into a positive situation by using it as an opportunity to learn and become better at your style of trading by not making the same mistakes again. 🌟Showing that you've learned from your mistakes can also increase your trust in your system and prove that you are willing to put effort into improving yourself. Additionally, learning from your mistakes and viewing them as positive experiences can help increase your confidence and free you from the fear of failure. 🌟When you make a mistake, try to admit it as soon as you can, and apologize if necessary. Apologizing can show that you regret your mistake, that you are willing to take responsibility for it and that you're using it as an opportunity to improve yourself. 🌟Think about what caused the mistake and how you resolved it and note things that you did well or poorly. Analyzing and understanding your mistake can help you determine what you can do differently to ensure that the mistake does not happen again. It can also help you identify solutions for future mistakes. Thanks for reading bro, you are the best☺️ Like, comment and subscribe to boost your trading!

GBPCHF - The Buyout, Accumulation.I've decided to go for the long term trade. One I categorize as blockbuster . Potential chance to receive a massive reward in ratio to a loss. - Here's my reason With GBP falling treacherously an influx are buyers pusher it back on. Meaning two things. One: An exit of sellers ( Less people selling the pair) Two: An abrupt of buyers getting in a record low prices. Now within this parallel channel we see the opportunity where resistance is holding, buyers are interested.

🧭ORDER TYPES IN TRADING🧭 ⚙️STOP ORDER This one is better to be explained with the examples: These orders can be used for trading breakouts. If you thought the EUR/USD would rally further after a move above the 1.1500 level, you would place a buy stop for entry at 1.1501. As the market printed 1.1501, your buy stop would become a market order and be filled at the next best price available. If you thought that the EUR/USD would continue moving down if it traded down through the 1.1200 level, you would place your sell stop for entry at the 1.1199 level. As the market printed 1.1199, your sell stop would become a market order and be filled at the next best price available. ⚙️MARKET ORDER The market order is probably the most basic and often the first order type traders come across. Market orders are traded at market: if you want to get into the forex market immediately, you can trade a market order and be entered at the prevailing price. ⚙️LIMIT ORDER This one is better to be explained with the examples: If the EUR/USD is trading at 1.1294 and you thought it would trade down to 1.1200 before rallying, you would place your limit order to buy at 1.1200. If the EUR/USD is trading at the 1.12939 level and you thought it would rally up to 1.1300 before selling off, you would place your limit order to sell 1.1300. When using a limit order, you will only be filled at the price you designated or better. It’s important to remember that you should familiarize yourself with the platform you are working with before undertaking any form of trading activity. This can help minimize any impractical errors when executing or managing a trade. Thanks for reading bro, you are the best☺️ Like, comment and subscribe to boost your trading!

AUDUSD BUYS As you can see above in my last post the market respecting our analysis, AudUsd retraced to the exhaustion areas i was expecting. Buyers entered the market which made the Daily candle have a big sellers exhaustion, now we can dive deeper and look at lower timeframes and see where we can have the confirmation. In this post i marked the areas im looking to enter the buys im waiting soo we can go in direction to our Big Target of the last post (0.71845) but i'm looking to make multiple trade to that Big target, as you can see in this post i have a intraday target first. If it retraces to my areas im not entering blindly i'm waiting for some type of sellers exhaustion on the candlesticks and support formation. If not i'm not rushing to take a trade. Remember Patience pays you in this game!

What a Leopard can teach you about Successful trading I’m from South Africa. I’ve observed the movements and ways of life of wildlife at different game reserves, resorts and zoos. Penwarm, Kruger National Park, Londolozi and Sabi Sand Game Reserve to name a few. And I’ve seen how leopards work when they catch their prey. This methodology is very similar to how we as trader should act in the financial markets. They lurk behind the bushes in a crouch position. They can wait all day for just the right moment to pounce on its prey and bring the hunt back to its family. Even though they know they can outrun their prey, they still wait for the perfect moment to pounce. Either they’ll wait for the animal in a vulnerable position, injured or the perfect time where they will have a higher probability of catching it.. Patience my friend. That’s the most important element to grow your portfolio. You don’t make money taking a trade. You make profits while holding, waiting and letting the market play out. Here are five reasons why Patience is key for your trading success. #1: Stops you from making impulsive decisions Once you’re in your trade, holding and leaving it alone can help you avoid making impulsive decisions that are based on emotions rather than careful analysis. #2: Helps you spot high probability trades You need to have the patience to wait for the right opportunities to arise, rather than jumping into a trade just because you're feeling anxious. #3: Hold onto winners Trading is NOT about banking small profits. Because you do that and your losses will outweigh your winners. Your Risk to Reward should ALWAYS be above 1.5 at the minimum. This way you’ll hold onto your positions for longer periods of time, which can increase the potential for profits. #4: Takes away fixation When you enter into a trade, you may feel the instinct to watch it and observe ALL day. This will spark up your cortisol levels and will distract you from your higher priorities you have in a day. Once you’ve taken the trade, leave it alone to do its thing. You have your winning trading strategy in place. #5: Wait for the prey Like a leopard, successful traders need to be patient and wait for the right opportunities to arise, rather than acting impulsively or making rash decisions. This is why having a clear and proven plan can also teach us the importance of running it which is essential for success in the financial markets… If you enjoyed this article follow for more Daily tips. I enjoy sharing information I've gained since 2003. Trade well, live free. Timon MATI Trader

How "Smart Money" Uses Your EmotionsWhen trading most of us entry our trades TOO EARLY. Ofcouse we don't want to miss the opportunity to make money. This is one of us basic fear and its called "fear of missing out" Everybody knows this fear but we still feel it. And it is not just trading. You feel it when your friends go out and they did not invite so you feel miserable and left out. So its natural and I struggle with it myself everyday too. The thing you gotta understand is that the "SMART MONEY TRYES TO TRAP YOUR TRADES" using your fear of "fear of missing out". For example you can see in the chart the circles that I marked when doing my backtest. See Theres normally some type of keylevel like support zone that the price touches. Everyone is expecting that the price is going to bouce after touching the support zone which it does. But before that the price breaks the support zone slighly and traps everyone to get more liquity to the trade. They dont do that to just bully you they do it because they need more contracts to buy and if peapol think its a bear breakout theres a lot contracts for good price to buy. They just try to hedge they position and get the best Risk Reward ratio. You know that feeling when the trade feels perfect and the you get wicked out. I know bro it hurts. So how can we avoid these LIQUITY TRAPS? The Markets always tests your patinece in situations like this. But i get that you cant be just patient to make money in the markets because if you have too much confirmation your probably late and if you have too little confirmation your probably in a risky situation. Everyone struggles with this and theres no one right answer. But what i can suggest you to do is wait for the VOLUME GRAB and then entry your trades. Then theres bigger chance to a winnig trade and it will be easier to trade when i dosen't give you mixed signals. When Trading 1) Be patient 2) Wait for the volume crab 3) Get the confirmation that your strategy needs Im trying to build a trading strategy to this specific relying on these "Smart Money Traps". So Follow if you wanna see the future UPDATES!

GBPJPY Monday Manipulation GBPJPY Outlook for Nov 7th- Nov 11th LONG if Closes Bearish Top-Down Analysis: Starting with a Top-Down analysis POV. In the Daily I will wait and watch for how Monday will Close. Remembering that Monday is huge day for manipulation we need to wait patiently. We do not always need to be in the market. A successful trader is a patient trader. Trend Analysis: Last week GJ broke out of its channel. This could be a fake out to reel in orders. But, again, we will wait to see how tomorrow closes to adjust how we will attack this pair this week. I expect the pair to close bearish tomorrow. Fib Retracement: Looking at the Latest Move and applying the Fib tool, we can see that GJ reacted to it’s .5 retracement. Also in this region you will see that GJ is reactionary to 165.000. 50/100/200EMA: Looking at the EMAs, you can see the GJ is currently reacting to the 100day (yellow) EMA. I expect GJ to stay above the 100day, and react to it, as I have placed the LONG entry zone. If everything plays out to this action, one could take advantage of another 300-500pip impulse. If orders start to flood in, the price action will NOT move with a straight impulse as One would like, and it would invalidate this theory. An influx of orders will cause a volatile week, where we can see spreads reaching to sweep S/L’s, if that is the case. SHORT if Closes Bullish IF GJ closes bearish tomorrow, I expect to GJ to react to 168.000 before another move to the downside. If price moves to the downside this will, validate the Fake-Out, which I previously mentioned, and stay within the channel that it has been moving in the past week or so. What are YOUR Thoughts? I’d Love to hear from you! This is not financial advice! This is my Own Outlook on GJ’s price movement at this given time. Thanks and I hope you enjoyed the read… Have a great Week!

BTCUSDT: SHOULD YOU ENTER NOW OR WAITHello !! Welcome to the quick update of BTCUSDT. In the last few days, we saw BTC trading in the range of 20000 to 22000. After hitting the 22000 mark, it took a dump and the major dump was seen on the 19th night when BTC dumped all the way from 19700 to 18200. As of now, we can see BTC taking the 18200 support and is currently trading around 19000. We can long some BTC on SPOT for the long term and keep on accumulating at every dip. We can see a green candle in 15 minutes timeframe and it is holding the trend line as of now. We can expect a pump until 19600 followed by 20100 in the short term. The FOMC meeting today will reveal more about the price action. Till then stay tuned and wait for a green momentum. Till then stay tuned and trade with caution with strict STOPLOSSES !! This is not financial advice, please do your own research before investing and we are not responsible for any of your losses or profits. Please like and share and comment on this idea if you liked it.

PATTERN OF PATIENCE WITH S&P500 LATELY - ES1! - 1HThank you for your likes and comments! Very appreciated. It is not financial advise, just educational idea See here the S&P500 giving some regular slots but only 1 out of 10 pays. The lesson here is to be verrrry patient. New potential uptrend identified from the green circled candlestick. New potential support probably just under with the dotted line. The S&P500 quit the horizontal trending channel to move a little bit above.. keep an eye on it.
