DAILY PLANNING
HAVE A PLAN. This is a business. You would not start your new business without money or a plan. If no plan you will lose money and be out of business. Read news, analysis, plot support/resistance and be aware of Daily and INTRADAY TRENDS.. Stay with your plan. Abandoning a plan could cost you money.
Before you invest pick a pair or two, ALWAYS CHECK ECONOMIC CALENDAR, research and plan your TAKE PROFIT . Stay with your choice all day. Recommend you use pTc nXtgenfX SUPPORT/RESISTANCE INTRADAY RANGE and pTc nXtgenfX INTRADAY SUPPORT/RESISTANCE PIVOT and TREND to target for your TAKE PROFIT goals..
You can use our support resistance data for your daily planning and pTc nXtgenfX FOREX TRADING SIGNALS and pTc nXtgenfX LIVE FOREX SIGNALS
MONEY MANAGEMENT
Do not make this to complicated. ONE RULE do not invest more than 20% of your equity and set your STOP LOSS and TAKE PROFIT, It is that easy. You hear a lot about RISK/REWARD calculations, but if you ALWAYS invest with the trend at the top or bottom of channel, there is no need as risk ratio averages over 3:1. if you invest with trend in in your time frame. Invest against the trend and the possibility of loss is over 75%.
COPY TRADING
BAD IDEA. Learn to trust your own trading skills and not others. Remember most of the Traders have less or just a little bit more experience than you do. You will be more profitable having developed your own trading strategy and have less stress.
INDICATORS
Keep this simple also.. One of our Friends was using over 20 different indicators. He was a bit confused. The best Real Time indicator is the Price Action. Learn how read Candle Sticks and Hiekan Ashi Bars. Combine that with a non-lagging Breakout channel and non-lagging trend indicator is all you need to read the market for any time period. See our suggestions INDICATORS NON LAGGING. The important thing is to find indicators that work for you and making your investment decisions profitable for you.
STOP LOSS
Probably a Forex Traders second best friend. SET A STOP LOSS for every order when you plan your order. DO NOT CHANGE IT unless to protect profits .Get rid of your ego. Take the loss and move on. It is part of trading. You cant stop it. It is better to lose 40 PIPS than 100 plus. Here are some ways to set stop loss:
- 2.5 times ATR
- PARABOLIC SAR
- MID BAR OF DONCHIAN CHANNEL
Plus many more. Do your research to find one that fits your trading style.
PROTECT YOUR PROFITS. Use Trialing stop or move manually as your Profit advances and let it close and reenter if your Target is still viable. Better to take some profit than going in hole.
