You can trade in any way you like. But you have to…. 1: Understand your strategy 2: Know why it works, and how it works. 3: Validation through experience, and testing…… Then You can see trading with Clarity You can trade with Consistency And THEN You trade with CONFIDENCE

I know a trader who only trades #GBPUSD and only looks for 20 pips a day, trading daily pivots. Hes very successfully, and hes been doing it for the last 15 years. Read this, twice

So I found this in my archives. I wrote it to myself, when I started out, and sent it to two trading buddies who we used to share ideas with. Those guys gave up. Not me. I knew I could find a way, and I'm stubborn. So have a read...

Less is more.... 1: You dont need to trade every #FX pair. 2: You dont need to sit for hrs in front of your computer. 3: You dont need multiple positions taken every day a day. 4: You dont need multiple strategies. Just be excellent at one thing and you're made.

@AlphaMind101 Not quite as good as yours, but my dog always sits at my feet when at my desk, and he often nudges my arm either for attention or a reminder for lunch. Often his nudge of my right elbow causes me to click the mouse. In 11 yrs he's had 4 trades. 1 loss. 2 B/E. 1 win

When you open your charts in the morning, you see a big move has happened, don't panic. Every day, every session, there will be a high, and low created, and put simply - thats your framework right there, then apply your strategy. Be calm. Be in control.

@ChrisFxTrader77 @waltervannelli I concur. You cant trade waiting to copy a trader and ask for TP and forecasts. If you want to be consistently profitable you have to.learn a strategy and own it. Posting irrelevant comments and trying to be fun y helps no one especially the person doing it.

@AlphaMind101 Thinking in Pips was my solution, and with only one or two trades a day I already know my entry/stop/exit prices so no need to refer to the terminal. took a few years to get to this mindset, but I think its the only way

Keep it simple. Trade one or two pairs. Get to know it, like really know it. You go in to get paid, so do that. The more volatile pairs trade between 40 to 100 pips between pivots. Take 10 to 20 pips. Become great at it. Then scale up.

Pressure will only work against you as a trader. Dont put your self under pressure. Heres a thought. You want to make 5% a month on your account? Just three trades a month, with minimum Reward/Risk of 2 to 1 and you've done it. And you have on average 20 trading days a month.

@prrobbins 1% of my account per trade. Divided by S/L give my Pip value, minimum risk reward 2:1 for every trade. Most set ups yield at least 2.5 / 1 on my pivot strategy. And walk away rule is 3 losing trades in a row - and back the next day. Easy, simple, and repeatable.

Instead of dozens of currency pairs on your watch list, and multiple chart layouts, try simplifying everything. Even down to one currency pair, one chart. You'll soon get to know it so well. And that's all you need.

Most days there will be a direction. Either get in on that direction or wait, eventually the direction changes. It always does, how do you think people take profits? They close a buy by selling, and vice versa, so it’s inevitable. Don’t stress. It will happen, it always does.
