    Books, Books, Books

    Indeed this book is amazing. I also like “Trading for a Living” by Alexander Elder. This book explains that successful trading is based on three things: Mind, Method, and Money. The book also explains how to master them and trade successfully.

    Pros and cons of forex market?

    Pros - Liquidity, Cons - volatility. More than $6 trillion are traded in the forex market every day, which makes it a great platform to make good profits in a short amount of time.

    2% stop loss rule?

    There is no need to follow this 2% rule strictly because if a trader is sure about a certain trade, then he/she would miss the opportunity to win big if he/she trades using the 2% rule. One can go up and down this number according to his/her knowledge and experience.

    Forex market hours and start of day

    I love trading GBP/JPY, as it is one of the most liquid and stable pairs. It also provides tight spreads, which allows me to have bigger profits. I mostly trade when the market opens and closes because that’s when the volatility is at its maximum compared to other hours of the session.

    Hitting the roof as trader

    Words of wisdom! I was reading a book on trading psychology, and it had the exact same thing written that what you’ve mentioned. Trading is premised upon strategies. Bringing emotions won’t result in good consequences.

    When Does Day Trade Becomes Swing Trade?

    I am a very strict trader when it comes to following my strategy or a trading plan. I don’t hop from one strategy to another if I see that the market is not going in my favour. It may help a trader to win once or twice but this is not viable in the long run.

    What do you do to get your edge?

    A trading edge is basically your strength. It’s anything that helps you accumulate more profits than losses and I think the best way to know your edge is by educating yourself because this is how you unleash your hidden potential. In addition, track your performance in your trading journal as it...

    Can Tik Tok mess up Forex?

    I think tik tok is messing up with forex traders who are looking for trading signals or strategies and ending up on accounts of scammers pretending to be forex experts. But, the ratio of such traders is quite low, so there is no chance that a phone app can mess up a multi-trillion market.
