DAY 28 - HAVE A PLAN - TRADE YOUR PLAN

“A losing trade is not necessarily a bad trade. A bad trade is when you did not follow your Trading Plan.
Accept your mistake, learn from it, and move on. The big enemy is always between our ears"

Follow your trading plan with patience and discipline, have proper risk management and the money will come to you. When I started, out I lost lot of money because all I wanted was more money. I was dreaming to get a luxury car, new house etc. but I did not have a proper trading plan, did not follow ris…

Plans for Next Month, Possible Changes Due to Summer

July has been a tough month for me. I expected this because my systems follow either trends or momentum, both of which have been lacking this month. I ended the period down by 45,000, after a large margin call on the last day.
This event is the perfect ilustraion why trading was hard in July. I was heavily long the US Dollar going into the U S Employment Cost Index, which is usually a non-event. This time though, the miss of forecasts (0.2% vs 0.6%) caused a major sell-off in the Dollar. But the…

Weekly review

I can't say I'm satisfied with my performance in Trader Contest. But not because I (again) halved my account in the first contest week. That would be OK if I would have followed my plan, or even better - if I would have one, rather than just half-baked trading ideas.
Nevertheless, I started out with a good plan. I bought GBP/USD (2.5M) with the intention to hold it for at least 200 pips, but it didn't work as expected and I was soon out. Then I bet that RBA will cut rates, but that also didn't m…

The most successful week in my trading career was the one I held a piece of paper, went through the 27 pairs, and the ones that were far from their value area,I selected them, then I made my entry orders right before the start of the week. My best week ever, I swear

It probably took you less than an hour, that's really how it should be done. Have a great week!

Well the initial list yes, then I examined S&R levels along the RiskReward Ratios and the required margin levels and prioritized them. You too.

Do you prefer well-planned or impromptu?

Today I chatted with my friend about his next posting of job. He told me there are some many uncertainties that make him worrie and depressed. He claimed that he is a kind of person that need careful planning, execute and follow it step by step. He even has a contingency plan in case shit happens. His saying is: Failing to plan is planning to fail. I know him so well, because we share same MBTI (it’s a kind of personality indicator in terms of business aspect, I will talk about it later).
I am …

Sometimes I like planned and most of the time impromptu. Normally the impromptu's end up being the best.

New Month, New Goals

Starting from this year I've posted at beginning of each month my GOALS for the current month and I want to track my own progress and how I grow up my experience in the markets.
This is the only way you can prove yourself that you're growing up as a trader by tracking down all your performances and your discipline to follow your plan.
Last month I was closed to be in top 10 again but due to last 2 weeks market condition I wasn't able to secure a winning place but the only progress I've made was …

Have a Plan and Trade your Plan

A losing trade is not necessarily a bad trade. A bad trade is when you did not follow your Trading Plan. Accept your mistake, learn from it, and move on. The big enemy is always between our ears

Follow your trading plan with patience and discipline, have proper risk management and the money will come to you. The key is to keep it simple and consistent and not jumping to 100 different ways to trade after few losses. Invest your time and effort to acquire basic trading knowledge first. Success…
