FTC/CFTC Risk Disclaimer - Please read this so you're 100% aware of the extreme risks associated with any type of trading and investing.
I’ve said for years and years and years - trading is extremely risky, and most people will lose all the money they try to trade with - even the people who follow the information I provide. Trading is a skillset that is difficult to learn, and I make it look easy because I’ve been trading for 7+ years. As with any high performing skillset in life, trading is NOT easy.
Your likelihood of consistently making money trading is abysmally low, whether you learn on your own or whether you follow the things that myself or others teach.
It’s like becoming a doctor, many people start pre-med and medical school, but only a tiny fraction of them succeed and actually become doctors. The average success rate of trading is even worse that that! Becoming a doctor is obviously not for everyone, and becoming a trader is obviously not for everyone, too.

Nick great stuff and great help. Just, you cannot have 10 losses in a row with 1:1 RR. How many times do you have to flip the coin to get this result? A million?

[@shawnwaldron1018]

Can i change my stop loss ratio while in a live trade to increase my take profit if the trade is going in my favor, meaning if i started with a 2:1 ratio can i move my stop loss up to a 4:1 ratio before it hits my target and still be able to profit more then i initially would of if i kept my ratio at 2:1

[@history_of_philosophy]

Can i ask you a question. Example we put 1/5 in to the position. But the position goes to profit side. Should we add the rest to the position? Because if the price goes to profit side oure position size will be small. How can we handle it?

Man I had my first month being profitable and then I blew it because I got hella cocky 😂😂 The grind begins again . Eventually I will listen Nick.

[@HandyDan]

I agree with your approach, and that charts and other analysis are less than 50% correct. I have gone through hundreds of trend pictures and none even come close to the current market and if they do have a match, the outcome is 50%😂😂😂. I never set SL or TP unless I can't keep my eyes on the chart. If my trade is going strong in my direction I set my SL in the profit zone so even if it turn around I still win a little.

[@UPIL.INDONESIA]

I have followed you for so long, what I admire is the strategy is the damn boring same thing. I have learned a little bit about ICT too. Unconsciously, your strategy is somehow aligned (or maybe not) with ICT. Like when you take trade when in support/resistance, that's where order blocks sometimes happened. That's also where sometimes Fair Value Gap is happening. It is what it is, that's how I see it. But both ICT and your strategy, isn't always work 100%, hence the win rate is just 50%. What matters is the risk management like what you said, and the opportunity that often happen.

[@unkownmartialartist6099]

tho it is not 50/50 chance to either win or loose, if your tp is further away than your sl, which it is in your case otherwise you wouldnt be able to win more then you loose, the chances are not 50/50 cuz price has to travel more points to get to your tp than to your sl, possibly reversing while doing it. So on the long run you will not have a 50/50 winrate no more. Winrate and Risk to Reward are logically opposites, if one gets bigger the other one gets smaller.

Nobody knows if support and resistance will be honored, which is why hedging is the only way to make this work.

[@user-nu5ri3mt8n]

Why are you making it a binary choice on whether or not price respects a ''support or resistance'' level? You do know that most of time price will range right? You did mention consolidation but you blew it off as if it's not a thing. Then you said that if you start feeling pain you can just close it out. The issue with this strategy is that you will always be scared out of your position. Ranges and Spikes exist purely to discourage strategies like this. You are oversimplifying it and simple strategies may work once in a while but there is no way a strategy like this is making millions.

[@akal210]

Have to agree. There's no way. He says 50/50 win ratio with the difference-making profitable edge being knowing when to add to winning positions and when to cut losing ones short. That's not any kind of a system or edge - it's pure gambling based on "intuition" and you're right - he's leaving it up to MM wicks taking full advantage of your emotions because you would have to price-watch to have this (theoretical) edge.

Why is there written 0 in deposit? How did you fill your account without doing a deposit? In my MT5 it clearly shows my deposit.

[@NickShawnFX]

The deposit will only show if you are setting the history to include the data from when the account was originally deposited. This account balance was started at $99,800 two months ago - but you will not see the deposit if I set the PNL history to just show the last 1 week of data - because there was no deposit within the last week. That is why there is a zero on the deposit line in the PNL history.

[@Chrisjohnson19_72]

Nick I have to disagree. With a 50% win rate the chance of losing 10 in a row or more is a serious possibility. How can you honestly be telling people to trade at 10% per trade. I seriously don't know any other credible trader who would agree with this.. I am not doubting your results. I am saying that a losing streak of 10 trades in a row is a very real possibility with a 50% win rate. Very real.

[@NickShawnFX]

You're mistaken - here's the context. You have 1M to trade forex. You put only 50K into an account. You risk a dollar amount you're comfortable risking, say, 5K per trade. You'd have to lose 10 trades in a row at a FULL stop out of -1R on EACH trade with NO management in order to blow the account. Risking 5K per trade is 10% of a 50K account, which you say is ridiculous, but you're undermining the fact that the 50K starting balance is only 5% of the 1M of trading capital. So, 5K is 10% of the small account, yes, and that's okay - because that 5K risk is only a 0.5% risk of the total trading capital. Half a percent. Risk is controlled, even if you blow the entire account, which is still incredibly unlikely, but will happen at some point. This is the context that I believe you lacked when first shaping your opinion, let me know if your opinion has changed bro!

[@Chrisjohnson19_72]

@@NickShawnFX I think I am confused between account balance vs trading capital. I thought account balance was the trading capital. So for instance if I only had a 10k account but took 1k trade with a 50% win rate then there is a very real possibility i could blow the account with the real possibility of a 10 loss losing streak. This was the context I was referring to. But if as your saying the 10K is simply a small part of a larger capital then yes I can now agree with your context as your not gonna have 1000 losses in a row to blow the entire capital of 1M.

[@johnddonnet5151]

What's the point then? Instead of vague beef you use groundfed beef, it's still meat. You are still risking same amount. If you lose 10 in a row you will loose same amount of money. The only explanation would be is that you don't trust your broker to give your money back.

Cuz there’s no need to take support and resistance that has been here for over 100s of years and rename it into order blocks, bullish accumulation manipulation distribution fair value gap smart money wyckoff candlestick pattern… And on top of that all these guys claim they invented these concepts, lol. Like I said, support & resistance has been here for over 100s of years, and no one invented anything. They simply took what was already there and put a label on it to make it look complicated. At least Nick doesn’t claim he invented support and resistance and says it like it is. Experience and intuition is a large part of being profitable.

[@janlarsen9444]

Nick, your argumentation is mathematically wrong. If your win / loss rate is 50/ 50; and your RR is 2:1 you probably wouldn't make money if you didn't manage the trades. If the win / loss is random, as you stipulate, the distance a deal "travels" is also random. I.e. with a 2:1 ratio it is double likely that the price will hit the loss first. I.e. your success is only due to you managing the deals.
