Remember, that technical analysis is only 1 aspect of trading. Trading is a game of protecting the capital from yourself. Risk management and psychology is very undervalued. If you stay dedicated and believe in yourself you will make it in this game of trading. 🎉

[@stevenroberts8236]

Thanks Chris. Some really good tips there. Much appreciated.

[@cripz1436]

One thing I like about his analogy is that if you miss a trade and you revenge trade to make profits then you take more losses, is that you actually don't jump on a train you missed while its moving or else you will get hurt or die from it. This is a good way to describe and how to prevent yourself from getting hung on the fear of missing out FOMO!

His strategy for me is the best, ok it's hard to get below 30% of win rate, but is marvelous to know that just a win and you are fully recovered, he was lucky/smart to get 3 wins in a row, this explode his result it could have stop with 21% but lose until 16% haha

Is there a reason he’s not using the position tool correctly? No, I was just wondering. Some people play guitars upside down because that’s the way they learned or they are left handed. Just curious.

[@christophe_li]

Is there a reason why I should be?

[@christophe_li]

I have templates, that I have for going long and for going short. It’s more convenient for me to just select the template that I already saved in TV for only 1 tool as oppose to creating a new tool and then clicking on settings, etc. it saves me time and gets the job done even if it’s “incorrect” according to many of these so called KZbin professionals on here.

Its ftmo, they just updated their lot sizing for all indices a year ago. 20 lot means $20 a point. For nasdaq if the price move 15 point thats mean its $20 x 15point = $300.. he trade indcies pair not forex pair.
