Trading is at its best when you can check your account daily without obsessing over entries and exit ...just watching your positions grow, drawdown included, because the risk was already calculated before you entered.
This is when trading feels effortless. You're riding the wave, taking advantage of dips, and letting the macro do the heavy lifting.
Retail traders want to rush the money, but once you have the discipline, trading really does come down to buy, sell, and wait.
UPDATE FOR REAL TRADERS 📣📣📣📣
Here are 60% plus of what you need to know, if you want to understand the thought process of my intraday trading system #simplestuff.
There’s more to whatever you think you know when the it comes to being an IDM trader.
Here is a simple breakdown ⬇️
Many people assume that once you understand Orderblocks or a supply or a demand zone they've understood everything but No.
If you really wanna understand why the market moves the way it does, first focus on Market structure because that is what's gonna give you the direction and that has to be done on a Higher time frame because the lower time frames will not give you a right bias.
Once you've understood market structure (Direction) you focus on the highs or the lows that are Strong or protected. And once you've done that you look into liquidity (Equal highs/lows, trend lines, swing highs and lows, PDH, PDL, PWH, PWL, PMH, PML and also the previous Session's highs and lows).
Once you've spotted the Liquidity then comes your POls or the key levels (Orderblocks, Breakers, rejection blocks, imbalances or hidden bases) which are within or on a protected high or a low and also above or below the Liquidity.
Now you have the direction, liquidity and the POl marked out so you add timing (Killzones and session openings) and lower time frames into the equation for refinement, precision and confluence. Also make sure you always use a Htf POl and not just a random Lff POl.
I know that typing this is easy but applying them on the charts is hard so that’s the reason you should backtest like a mf. "Rome wasn't built in a day."
So this is basically like 60% of what you need when it’s comes to intraday market circle, but using this write up to guide your backtesting with the use of my WWH rules trust me, it will help you more than you can ever imagine.
Always remember ⬇️
“Practice breeds perfection”
Let me stop here and leave you to get to work.
@PsychedeliaAcad For those that don’t understand ,”Burn the ships” comes from old military stories where commanders destroyed their own escape routes after landing, forcing their troops to either win or fail with no retreat.
When we were growing up, we made plans with our friends. We wanted to be successful and we wanted our friends to be successful as well. But the reality is that our clock is different. We would not all be successful and even the ones that are successful, succeed at different times.
The beauty of friendship is that, if one of us succeed, we have a measure of protection to leverage on. I do not know what you people call friendship but a person that want friends must show himself friendly, and there are friends closer than a brother.
This idea of making it and suddenly blacklisting the people you used to call friends, is insane. If they were not good people, you would have cut them off before you made it. The only person changing here is you.
It would be a shame if my friends need help and they can't ask me. Why am I in their lives then? What is the point of being friends for 10, 15, 20 years and I can't come through for you. I come through for strangers. Why wouldn't I show up for my own? My friends know me and they trust me. In fact, I'm sure they know that God forbid they die, their kids education and welfare will be sorted as I would my own kids.
Making new friends is good. We connect and expand on the relationships we have as we grow in life. If you keep cutting off the people you used to know as soon as you climb up the ladder, why should the new friends and connections trust you? The higher you climb, the harder it is to trust. That is why people say it is lonely at the top. People are not stupid, they are vetting your character whether you know it or not.
I have friends I made from secondary school. I have close friends from university who are my brothers. I have friends from my time in the UK and we are very close. I've made friends from X whom I am close with. Current relationship does not erase past relationship. Your new friends have other friends. There is nothing happening in your life currently that warrants cutting off your friends just because you're doing better. If you're doing better, you have a responsibility to look after them and be kind to them. Your friends are the only people in this cold world who allow you to be yours and who can call you to order, while still having your back against all odds.
DO BETTER!!!
Unlearn every nonsense you’ve learnt about trading forex and start afresh.
Sometimes, The brains congest a whole lot of nonsense that it no longer has space for the right information
Forgive yourself & start afresh, you deserve happiness & freedom too. Put in work & give it all
@Techriztm I agree , but sometimes sells can be aggressive and buys can be slow too..
so for me I’d just say , slow movement (continuation likely )
Fast movement (imbalance)
Looking at my comment section, I realized something — most retail traders just want to make money so bad that they skip the most basic parts of CFD trading.
Accessibility is both a blessing and a curse.
You’re trading your hard-earned money sometimes your life savings without fully understanding the fundamentals. (not news data)
Not even being aware of the basics will hurt you, every time. And here’s the truth nobody wants to hear: It’s okay not to trade a live account. It’s okay not to trade a prop firm.
Trade a demo.
But trade it with the right mindset — like its real money.
That’s called discipline.
Stop listening to people who say demo accounts don’t help.
They do.
A demo will tell you if you can actually trade or not
and more importantly, it’ll save you from losing real money while you figure it out.
Few assignments that I have for you this week:
👉🏼 Write out any question you cannot answer yet technically based on how you trade
👉🏼 Backtest on each question to see the circumstances that surrounds it anytime such works out. And the ones that surrounds it whenever it does not work
👉🏼 Eliminate the noise by not trading anytime the ones that do not make it work appear
Best simplicity is always by subtraction.
You are welcome.
I work on myself because I understand that wherever I end up in life is largely up to me.
It’s easy to blame circumstances, people, or bad luck when things don’t go as planned. And yes, sometimes life is unfair. But at the end of the day, my growth, my mindset, my decisions, and my decisions play a huge role in shaping my future.
So I choose to work on myself.
I try to become better, little by little. Some days it’s improving my skills. Other days it’s fixing my attitude, being more patient, or learning from my mistakes. It’s not always easy, and it’s definitely not always comfortable. But I know that staying the same won’t take me where I want to go.
I’ve realized that the version of me today might not be enough for the life I want tomorrow. And instead of complaining about that, I take responsibility for it.
That’s why I keep showing up for myself even when I don’t feel like it. Even when progress feels slow. Even when nobody is watching.
Because in the long run, all those small efforts add up.
And one day, I’ll look back and realize that where I ended up wasn’t luck…
It was the result of choosing to work on myself, again and again.
