[The longer it ranges the harder it trends]

If you notice the price has been ranging for a long time, you’re not alone.

Traders all around the world will be seeing the same charts as you.

Some will be queuing to short the resistance, and some will be trading the breakout.

If the price does trade above the resistance, shorts will get squeezed, and breakout traders will hop on the bandwagon.

That’s why price trend for a sustained period of time, due to the imbalance of buying/selling pressure.

[When it comes to trading indicators, less is more]

Here’s the thing:

Having more indicators on your chart does not increase your chances of a winning trade but only gives you analysis paralysis and not taking the trade.

You’d probably get better results if you only had a handful of indicators on your chart!

That’s why we want to have an indicator that can single-handedly:

–Determine your entries
–Determine how you’ll take profits
–Determine your stop loss

Having fewer indicators keeps your charts clean and helps you make faster decisions which will make your trading process much more efficient.

[You don’t need to monitor your trades the whole day]

You might have heard the saying...

"You need to monitor your trades all the time to be a successful trader."

Nope.

Instead, you need a trading routine that works. One that doesn’t require you to stare at the charts all day.

So here’s a template you can use…

Example 1: You have a full-time job

–Weekends = Identify potential trading setups for the week
–Before work = Identify setups that are triggered and place your orders
–Lunch time = Check your portfolio and see if your trades are executed
–After work = Journal and review your trades

Now, what if you are a day trader?

Example 2: You are a day trader

–Before market hours = Identify potential trading setups for the day
–Market hours = Set alerts when the price comes to your level and trade it according to your plan
–After market hours = Journal and review your trades

Now…

Regardless of the type of trader you are, you must devote time to planning.

Because if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.

[Don’t demo trade for too long]

So, how long should you demo trade?

One month?

Four months?

One year?

The truth is that it depends…

If you’re a day trader, then you may want to consider demo trading for one month

If you’re a swing trader, however, then you may want to consider demo trading for three months

The concept is that the higher the frequency of your trades are, the less time you should do demo trading, and if the frequency of your trades is lower then it’s the opposite.

Remember…

Your goal in demo trading is not just to test whether your strategy works.

But to see whether or not your trading plan or trading routine is for you so that you can make tweaks along the way.

[Get out of demo trading and start small]

Now…

It doesn’t matter whether you want to start with $100, $500, or $1,000.

What matters is that you get out of demo trading.

Start trading live.

Start trading small.

And start practicing good trading habits.

I know the feeling of being nervous when live trading for the first time, and that’s okay.

But if you start small first to build confidence, instead of going all-in with your family’s wealth (I damn hope not)…

You’ll find yourself in an excellent spot to start trading and put yourself in an environment to keep on improving as a trader.

Sounds good?
