Most broke people can't be successful traders.
The desperate need to make money often repels the very thing you seek.
Get a job first, build a solid foundation and then figure out trading.
Go slow to go far.
[To be a pro trader, you must be willing to get your hands dirty]
Now:
Just because you came up with a hypothesis to your question, doesn’t mean it’s correct.
That’s why as a professional trader, it’s your job to validate your trading ideas (or hypothesis).
You’ve got to get your hands dirty and do the work like backtesting, forward testing, etc.
For example, you might wonder:
“Is a 10-week breakout better than a 50-week breakout in terms of returns relative to risk?”
Well, to find out you can do a backtest across a universe of stocks using these two parameters, and see which offers a better result.
To make your life easier, here are some tools you can use for backtesting…
Amibroker – A backtesting platform
Norgate Data – Data feed
Upwork – A marketplace to find programmers
Still, most of you won’t do it because it’s easier to solicit an opinion than to actually do the work.
The problem is, you’ll never know if it’s true, or not—that’s why you must be willing to get your hands dirty and do the work!
No trading guru can make you a profitable trader.
But your attitude, mindset, and perseverance will.

[The secret to using multiple timeframes like a pro trader]
I’ll be honest.
I didn’t figure it out on my own.
Instead, I learned it from Adam Grimes and Alexander Elder.
So here’s the “secret”….
When you trade with multiple timeframes, your higher timeframe should be between a factor of 4 to 6 of your entry timeframe.
Confused?
No worries, I’ll explain…
Let’s say for example your trading timeframe is the 1-hour timeframe.
So, which should you reference as your higher timeframe?
1. Take 1-hour multiply by 4, you get a 4-hour timeframe
2. Then, take 1-hour multiply by 6, you get a 6-hour timeframe
This means your higher timeframe can be between 4 and 6-hour
Does it make sense?
Here’s another example:
Let’s say your trading timeframe is the 5-mins timeframe.
Which should you reference as your higher timeframe?
1. Take the 5-mins multiply by 4, you get 20-mins
2. Then, take 5-mins multiply by 6, you get 30-mins
This means your higher timeframe can be between 20 and 30mins

[Have another source of income to tide over the tough times in trading]
Here’s the truth:
No matter how good you are as a trader, you’ll encounter losing streaks, losing weeks, and possibly even losing years.
If you do not prepare for it, you’ll face difficulties putting food on the table, paying your bills, etc.
And in such scenarios, it’s difficult to make good trading decisions because you’re trading with money you can’t afford to lose.
You’ll average into your losses hoping to make it back quickly or widen your stop loss so you don’t lose your money.
So what can you do about it?
Well, that’s where having another source of income helps.
It could be having a job, an online business, affiliate marketing, etc.—the more sources you have, the better.
Here are some ideas you can think about:
• Affiliate marketing (recommend products & services you believe in and get paid for it)
• Coaching program
• Online course
• Earn advertising fees (from YouTube, Google, etc.)
Now, building multiple sources of income is like digging a well.
You want to focus on digging a well till water comes up before you move on and dig another well.
Otherwise, if you dig many wells at once, you’ll end up with no water because you didn’t dig deep enough.
And it’s the same thing for building multiple sources of income.
Quit trying to trade every level on your chart.
Instead, pick a spot to trade where you’ll lose small when wrong—and the market can reward you when right.
The result?
Less trading, less commissions, less mistakes, and a fatter bottom line.

[To be a pro trader, you must think independently]
One of the reasons why most traders fail is because they ask questions like these…
• Is exponential or simple moving average better?
• Should I buy Tesla stock right now or wait for a pullback?
• What is the best RSI setting?
You’re probably wondering:
“What’s wrong with it?”
Well, it’s a sign you cannot think independently. It shows you want to be spoon-fed so you can skip the “work” and go straight to profits.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.
Why?
Because in trading, there’s no such thing as “best”.
What’s “best” for me might not be right for you because of our different goals, timeframe, personality, etc.
So…
If you want to succeed in trading (or in business), you must have the ability to think independently.
So instead of asking “what” or “when” questions, learn to ask…
Why.
This means you want to ask questions like:
• Why did he apply this trading strategy only to the stock markets and not FX?
• Why did he use a 200-day moving average as a trend filter?
• Why did he use a 40% trailing stop loss?
Do you see the difference?
Trading is not for snowflakes.
The market is rigged against you. Your emotions sabotage you. The prize is only for a few.
Only those with a high pain tolerance should play this game.

Trading is the transfer of money from people who f*** up more to people who f*** up less.
Читать полностью…[Avoid this mistake when trading multiple timeframes]
Imagine:
You want to spy on your neighbour for god knows what reason.
Perhaps they are doing illegal activities, you’re a nosy park, whatever.
But there’s a fence built between you and your neighbour so you each have your privacy.
How do you overcome this?
Do you take a trip to space and spy down on your neighbour’s house?
Of course not!
Why?
Because you are “too far” out and the sights (or images) you see will not be relevant to your needs.
You’re probably wondering:
“What has this got to do with trading?”
Well, it’s the same concept.
If you want to glean insights from the higher timeframe, you can’t zoom out too far because the information you’ll get is not relevant to you.
[You can’t make money every day from trading if you don’t have this one thing…]
Let’s play a game…
• If you toss a coin and it comes up heads, you win $2
• If you toss a coin and it comes up tails, you lose $1
• You can only toss the coin once a day
Now let me ask you…
Do you think you can make money every day from this coin toss?
Of course not.
Because on any day, there’s a 50% chance you either get head or tail—and if it comes up tail, you’ll lose $1.
But what if you can toss the coin 1,000 times per day? How would things change?
Let’s see…
If you toss a coin 1,000 times, you’ll likely get around 500 heads and 500 tails.
(Every time it comes up heads, you win $2. If it’s tails, you lose $1.)
So if you do the math, you’ll end up with a net gain of $500.
Now let me ask you…
If you had this “special” coin and could toss it 1,000 times per day, do you think you can make money every day from tossing this coin?
Yes!
So, what’s the lesson here?
The frequency of your coin toss matters.
You might be wondering:
“What has this got to do with trading?”
Everything!
Because if you want to make money every day from trading, your frequency of trades plays a huge role.
That’s because the more trades you can do within a short period of time, the faster the law of large numbers can work in your favour (think of the coin toss example).
Winning rate alone is meaningless.
You can have a 90% winning rate with an average gain of $100.
But if your average loss is $1,000, you still lose in the long run.
Solution? Look at both your winning rate and risk-to-reward ratio.
You can't look at one without the other.
