Follow the news. Just don't trade right before it. Fundamentals move the market so wait for the news to come out and make your decision. Is it good or bad news? Is it strong or weak for my particular asset? Then trade based off that information. #futures #forex #trading

Each move only has 2 reversals, but many more continuations. Learn how to trade with the trend and stop trying to catch reversals. The trend will do the heavy lifting for you... and make you money. #futures #forex #trading

You can't buy chart experience. You need sit there. Staring at charts. Learning the movement. Building the intuition. Understanding the flow. #futures #forex #trading

Stop hesitating. If it fits your rules, press the button. If it doesnt, don't press it. But if it does, and you hesitate, you'll get a bad fill and then you're adding stress for no reason. Trust your system. #futures #forex #trading

You don't make money by having a more complex strategy. I use lines and boxes. Simplicity helps clear up the brain power for the things that matter. #futures #forex #trading

Focus on consitently executing your trading plan. The money will follow. If you focus on making money, you can't 100% focus on your plan. The greed is strong with this one. #futures #forex #trading

Do you have a Capital Recovery Plan for when you're in drawdown? Will you: 1. Reduce your risk and trade sensibly to work your way out. 2. Double your risk and go for glory? If you said 2, please stop trading and hand in your mouse at the front desk. #futures #forex #trading

Have a pre determined Max Loss Limit for the day. It could be in $ or %. This will ensure you come back tomorrow. After all, surviving to trade another day is what it's all about. #futures #trading #forex

Trade with a mate. If you truly want the best for eachother, you holding them accountable and vise versa, will accelerate your trading faster than going at it alone. #futures #forex #trading

Just like your trading, your life needs structure and routine. Try do the same things leading up to your trading session. Ice bath, sauna, run 10 miles, lift a car, wrestle a bull. Or just give yourself 30 mintues to review yesterdays price action. #futures #trading #forex

Be sure to review your losers AND winners! Just like you'll be able to identify common mistakes costing you money, you'll also be able to identify recurring patterns that lead to winning trades. Fun fact: These recurring patterns become your 'edge.' #forex #futures #trading

Learn how to regulate your heart beat. Don't have an energy drink before trading. Be in a calm state, by meditating, practising mindfulness and gratitude, or just listen to calming music. It sounds like that voodoo, silly stuff, but it works. #futures #Trading #forex

If you have a massive, irregular win - downsize risk on the next trade. Chances are, confidence and ego will cloud your judgement. Learn how to idenify these traits and build systems around mitigating their impact on your trading. #futures #forex #trading

Using a Position Size Calculator is the simplest and easier way to not blow your account. Always know these numbers: - How much can I lose on this trade? - How many times can I afford to lose this amount before I blow my account? #futures #forex #trading

Some multi-millionaire traders have a win rate of 30%. That means out of 1000 trades, they lose 700... and still make millions. Why are you trying to be perfect? Be realistic. #futures #forex #trading

Chart alerts are the best. You set them at particular area's you want to trade from. You close your charts. Do whatever else it is you do. Open your charts when the alerts go off. You watch how many dumb trades this technique will help you avoid. #futures #trading #forex

Know where your stop-loss and take-profits are before you get into a trade. Then have the discipline to remain firm on these locations. Once you're in the trade, the market will do whatever it wants. Walk away. There's nothing more you can do. #Futures #trading #forex

Do not over size one position to make up for a series of losses. Chances are, you'll lose this trade too. Then you'll really be pissed. #trading #forex #Futures

History tells us that all the great humans had someone to help them. They had people guiding them as they, too, looked to achieve greatness. Yet traders won't learn off other great traders? That's silly. Get a mentor. #futures #forex #trading
