In this screencast I explore dissonance theory. Some don't know that trading is very little to do with charts and indicators - and terribly more to do with psychological matters that affect our decision-making. Seems a bit strange as my charts are usually covered in indicators. I share lessons learned. I explore what the mind does when an alternative perspective...
In today's video I go in depth on the pros and cons of trading each market. A lot of retail traders complain about aspects of certain markets and use the wrong tools for the job in the market they choose to trade. There are plenty of options for every trader out there! If you are interested in learning more about probability distributions and my proprietary...
In this educational screencast I answer some of the issues I've been asked about by new traders. I emphasise in that profitability it is not mainly about methodology or indicators.

Just wanted to do a short video on the Bitcoin chart about how I feel about TA - what I think it is and also why I find it interesting.

This is purely an educational video, and it's based on my own observations, assumptions, and opinions....
This educational post shows how exploiting trends can deliver profits in the long term, by living for the big trends. This is a no-targets system that uses the ATR. Trend switches define entry positions and the markets decide exit positions. Scaling-in of position sizes is an advanced higher risk technique. Those lacking experience and with small account sizes...

In this screencast I share some of my own personal journey which I suspect may resound with many a struggling trader out there. This post is in keeping with the house rules on text-based analyses, and psychological self-analysis is the biggest most important aspect of trading. It is clearly in the category of 'Beyond Technical Analysis' I had been thinking for...
This is a 9 minute video that covers how to ensure you are trading on the right side of the trend. Lots of good stuff on this topic, unfortunately it's impossible to cover everything in the 10 minute limit provided by TradingView for videos, so if you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.
In this screencast I show a different way of tackling the markets. This is about trend-following which is a pretty difficult methodology - but it is the most powerful and potentially rewarding. I show how I made a decision to short. I am not promoting my own methodology. I encourage all new and seasoned traders to explore different methodologies to find what...

The actual direction of the setup doesn't matter * What does matter is WHERE on the...
** In the video I say EURO / Swiss Pound. I think I meant to say Swiss FRANC ** :) This video is meant to cover a really important topic that I think holds back most people from being successful in the markets. In this video I cover: 1) There's a difference between being a good analyst and being a good trader 2) How to empower yourself by learning to trust your...
I have seen many traders recently use this in a questionable manner and I don't want new traders to get the wrong idea. I have briefly explained how I use the indicator and what ways it could be useful to you. This is not the only way I use it I do confirm it with other signals that I have not mentioned in the video but as the Joker says in the Dark Knight 'if...
