LAST TRADE FOR A WHILE

As you may or may not know, I also run a free Day Trade Channel, which is invitation only (contact me if you wish to be part of it on @tomhougaard), and I have decided I need a break from trading for a while. Therefore this DAX trade will be the last trade until I come back. You can expect me back on the 5th September 2022.

Thank you and have a wonderful summer

HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT

I started trading the Telegram channel with a start capital of £100,000. I have displayed the stake size I have used to achieve the results you see below. I have also displayed the margin required to trade this stake size, with the broker of my choice.

When you look over my performance, it is easy to draw the conclusion that things are going well. The capital has grown from £100,000 to £1.5m in little over 6 months. When you look closer, you will see that the last month in particular has been poor. Was it not for one spectacular trade, I would be down for the month.

I have decided to pay heed to what my body and mind is craving. Rest. I am not talking about a week’s holiday in the Seychelles, where I bring my 3 screens with me, so I can still trade.

No, I am talking about a proper break from trading. I have not taken a break from trading for a while. I resisted to take one because I was hoping I would be able to trade the big crash of July 2022. After today I think it might not happen. So the time seems right to leave now.

I don’t want to make a big deal about it. I think some of you will understand while some of you will not. I will post articles and research over the coming 43 days, but I will not trade here. When I come back in September, it will be business as usual.

I want to finish off by saying thank you. Just plain thank you. It has been an honour to guide you and feed you profitable trades, shitty trades, awful jokes and hopefully guidance on how to navigate the markets successfully as a day trader.

With that, I will leave you be, a little earlier than I imagined.

A special thank you to Lennie - your friendship and support is valued more than you know.

With love and respect

Tom Hougaard

Good morning,

I have written a 4000 word article on how Best Loser Wins came to be. It is actually a story that spans two decades. I would like to share it with you.

BEST LOSER WINS is already out - with some countries having released it earlier than the official launch date of the 16th of August.

My BIG regret is that this chapter was not included in the book. I am trying to make mends by posting it here.

It is an integral part of the understanding WHY I wrote the book in the first place.

I will now be radio silent for 2 weeks and disappear into the mountains. Trade well my friends. I will be back at the end of August.

Tom ❤️❤️❤️

INCREASE TRADING SIZE

A friend of mine, Pete, contacted me. He is an accomplished individual, with a great understanding of technical analysis.

HOWEVER, like many traders and aspiring traders, his knowledge of patterns and price action far surpassed his ability to trade the patterns.

In other words, Pete had a great understanding of charts, but he was unable to convert his knowledge into money. Sounds familiar?

Pete was honest about his short-comings and he asked me if I would help him, which I did through a lengthy phone call. What you are about to read is the content of the conversation I had with Pete.

Knowledge is power, we are told. But it is not true, if you don’t have the ability to act on the knowledge. If you have the knowledge to trade well, through the use of charts, but you are unable to execute the knowledge, then you should read this article.

By the end of it, I will have outlined a plan that has the following objectives, of which you need one or more:

1/ A plan for building the correct knowledge.

2/ A plan for bridging the gap between what you know and what you do.

3/ A plan for increasing your trading size.

Through the steps I am about to show you, I created a plan for my friend Pete, which enabled him to go from trading 1 lot to trading 100 lots, and still looking to increase his size.

REST OF ARTICLE COMING IN ONE WEEK (or less – depending on weather!).

Sometimes you just got to buckle up and forge ahead, even when you are walking into a thunder storm.......on a mountain.
10 more days left of my "holiday"...see you soon...

Alert Alert

Signals will resume on Friday. Tomorrow I will post how I intend to run Swing Channel going forward.

In the meantime, someone, I don't know them, has published a seriously lengthy review of my book:
