Bro, I have read many books on technical analysis with the most recent being The Handbook of Technical analysis by Mark Andrew Lim and also Trade Mindfully by Gary Dayton for psychology among others.

[@thelittlesignpost]

Excellent video and many variables discussed, 23 years of trading has taught me Supply and Demand is king, yet few realize supply/selling begins on upbars, the final result of persistent selling on up bars is weakness, followed by capitulation to the downside, described as rolling over the top and repeated moves back up to create lower highs and further capitulation! The exact opposite is true of demand/buying, which always begins on down bars until capitulation to the upside! The charts differ in patterns but are always the same methodology!

[@mreddy243]

In last expiry i had done martingale. Every 200 points i went out side and sold double the quantity. Finally markets moved beyond my scope and put all my capital and also quit other trades to adjust marign. Finally lost current running trade and other opportunities as well. Insted of doing this method i could have baught 20 lots of put options with 1L capital and exit with in 100 points might have helped me to get 50k profit. This is example that we loose our commonsense when we are in fight mood with markets.

[@interseccaoquadrupla670]

[@Average_Pahadi]

First comment big fan Thanks for video sir

[@navketan1965]

Traders biggest enemy is trend flipping on A dime(e.g. 1H/lower time frame trend).Trend on 4H chart is the best trend guide for majority of forex traders( if one keeps trades for 2-5 days). By the time trader realizes that trend on daily chart is up, market has already gone up about 3-5 days & if you ask supercomputer for the mathematical odds, computer tells you that odds are negative right from the start.Trend based on the last 5-10,four hourly candles has enough players/juice behind it so that it would not flip on A dime, so trader has decent chance to make something without buying overpriced asset. Sir, I seek your wisdom?Thank you.

[@AsifAkhtar20]

[@AlxMarquez85]

Thank you for imparting this valuable knowledge for free. Ive been looking for a trading course to invest in my education. I don't have a background in math, so probably institutional trading is out of reach for now. But Im confused about which courses should I begin first. Im guessing I should start with the price actions courses, but I wonder if MMS and FFS also would be a great place to start too. Any sugestions Fractal Flow?

[@fractalflowpro]

FFS, MMS and NTS are for beginners. The price action volumes are a little more advanced. The institutional ebooks are the most advanced of all, but I made sure to write them in an easy language and with all the math you need in the book.

[@GBStyleGB]

Thoughts on NNFX trading system? You said lagging indicators are bad and nnfx is all about lagging indicators. Curious on your POV on indicator based trading systems like NNFX. Edit: lagging indicators = trend indicators according to NNFX. You don’t know a trend has started until it has and that is when lagging indicators come into play to help get you into the trend. Leading indicators tend to predict reversals which goes against the NNFX methodology.

[@bryanthesaviour7314]

On the topic of addiction, there's a saying that goes something like "An addict never leaves his bad habit. He just exchanges it for another one." This one really applies to me. A couple of years back when I was just learning to trade and discovered your channel, in order to order to avoid the pitfalls and vices of bad trading, I unintentionally developed a junk food addiction. Like on occassions when I hit my Max drawdown for the day or to stop myself from unnecessarily staring at price charts, I used to eat literally any junk I can find. As a result of this, my trading psychology did improve and the food did help me in avoiding stupid trading mistakes. Fast forward to now, I am a reasonably profitable trader (r:r>3) and don't suffer from the same psychological trading pitfalls that I used to. But, the cost of all this was a 20kg weight gain (60 to 80 kg). Currently, I am trying hard to change my eating habits and bringing the weight down. Do you have any advice on what I could have done/still do differently in order to avoid these "addiction transfers" in the future?

[@fractalflowpro]

You need to "get addicted" to things that reward you proportionally to the effort you put into them. Exercise is the best example I can think of. The good feeling of exercise is only obtained after the effort. Another good thing is reading. Since you already have a bad habit, now you need a period of desensitization since you brain is already used to the pleasure of junk food. It's going to be hard. I suggest you start watching David Goggins. That will give you some motivation.

[@bryanthesaviour7314]

Good info… I just disagree wit the not a job….the whole point of trading is to make money regularly..otherwise it’s investing..it really comes down to market state…(trending sideways)… what will make or break you as a trader(which I recently discovered) is knowing how to make money in a sideways market because it spends 70 percent of the time in that state. U shouldn’t say it can’t replace a job because 1 or 2 good trades a week can..I trade options…and like u said… I concentrate on location… u just have to master the ins and outs of ur strategy

This is kind of related to lesson #97. You mentioned that the "Markets are not part of the nature. They're are part of culture". So my question is that can financial markets, as we know them, can emerge in a purely communistic society where all means of production are controlled by the government? Great video by the way.👍 Worth the wait. On a side note, I'm kind of surprised you didn't mention the pitchfork anywhere in this video, even though you talked about almost all of your other techniques. Just a curious observation.🧐

[@fractalflowpro]

No, markets cannot emerge in communism because there is no market economy. Everything belongs to everyone, so there is no need to exchange. That's the theory of course. It never actually happened. In reality, even in socialism/communism, people will begin to exchange stuff because it's the best way to allocate resources. I had to choose what to put in the video. I have more than a 100 lessons to share haha.
