The psychological aspect and my thought process

Before i touch on how i would trade, i suddenly thought sharing my thought process would make so much more sense because literally you
will understand how i use my...
I don't see anyone talking about trading books so I'd like to share a few books that I read over the years and invite you to comment below with yours.
Regardless of whether you are a novice or an experienced trader every book has something to teach and it is quality time to spend off the charts.
Many of you have been asking me, what is my trading routine, so I decided to make an educational post :)
Here is a break down of my trading routing:
Pre-Trading Period
6:30 am weak up
Quick GYM session
Having a healthy BREAKFAST
Once breakfast is over, I go for 15 minutes of MEDITATION
After the meditation is over, and my mind and body is relaxed, I go for a...
Money makes money . It's an age-old saying, probably because it's generally true.
But starting out as a retail trader can be daunting and at times, frustrating. It takes time to build up a sizable account big enough to allow us to take the leap from trading part time, to full time trading.
Something that has kept me motivated over the years is an excel...
It's always refreshing to hear from some of the trading greats that have made a killing on the markets.
Here are ten quotes that'll make you think twice:
"Volatility is greatest at turning points, diminishing as a new trend becomes established." - George Soros
Soros cemented his position as a trading legend when he banked billions by shorting the British...
You are a Human. This is good.
You are capable of making complex decisions. You can identify patterns. You can enter excellent trades.
This is also bad. Between your ears is a narcotics factory that will put Heisenberg's mobile meth lab to shame.
You've entered a trade. This is it. The BIG one. A one-way ticket to infinite infinity pools.
Adrenaline ...
One of the major reasons why traders lose money is because they ride out their losses and close profitable trades too early.
While being patient can help us to achieve our maximum profit potential, being patient on the wrong side of a trade can be costly.
This is a great insight into why we are naturally predisposed to riding out losses and not quitting while we...

Way too many traders trade with very little capital and they do this because their brokers allow them to by offering them insane amounts of leverage. We really don't understand it because you would think that these brokers would want their clients to succeed in order to continue placing trades which yields the broker revenue from commissions and spreads. It is...
1 we have to analyse what kind of gap was it. ( runaway, breakaway, exhaustion)
2 current gap on a 1 minute chart is a Breakaway, as it has broken through a short term trend line,
3 when we have a breakaway gap, the gap close is less likely, so we're waiting for a consolidation that will nearly fill the gap, in our sample it's 50% Fibonacci area.
4. we're placing...

There is an extremely famous psychology paper written by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky named ‘Judgement Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases’ (psiexp.ss.uci.edu) (Kahneman won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1992 for his work in the field, specifically on prospect theory) which explores the decision making process.
As trading requires decisions to be made...
Imagine you have a strategy and you found that the optimal risk you should take is 4%.
In other words with this strategy you should put 4% of your capital at risk in every trade to grow your account the fastest.
If you enter a trade with 100% of your capital, the SL % is the % you put at risk. NOT the whole position size. So by entering a trade with all of your...
