Do you want to know how you can successfully trade just once a month off the monthly charts? Let’s talk about that and more right now. Hey, traders! It’s Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 586. I’m too busy – how can I trade? So I get questions from people that say, look, I’m not interested in trading, you know, all the time staring at charts all the time. What can I do? Well, for me, and it’s there for start to consider the higher time frame charts. And the best example of that where you only need to look at your charts just once a month, will be trading off the monthly charts. Now, the beauty of the monthly charts is they contain so much information because obviously each chart, each candle contains one month’s worth of information of price action. And the other great thing about that, because there’s so much information that they tend to be one of the most reliable chart setups. And you have to be aware that because they are monthly charts, you will find that trades will take potentially slightly longer to work out. But just think of it as a candle or a bar. How long does a Monthly trade remain in the market? In other words, if you were trading on, let’s say, a four hour chart, you might expect they trade to last in the market maybe one, two, three, four bars. And therefore when you’re trading on a monthly chart, it’s no different. So you have to be willing to leave trades in and let the market and the price action do its thing. But the great thing about trading monthly charts is all you need to do is look at your charts just once a month, and that’s on the last day or the completed day of the month. So, for example, for this month, we have, the 1st of May coming up on Thursday of this week. When to trade Monthly charts? So on Thursday, the 1st of May, the Wednesday candle, which is the 30th of April, would have close. And therefore we can then when all those, candles close at, 5 p.m., New York time, when the candle is closed, the next month will open, which is the 1st of May. And at that point, we can go and make our analysis on all of the closed and completed April charts. So we can go through the charts and scan through all the different markets. I scan personally through all the forex markets, the metals, the commodities, the indices, the cryptos. And I scan through all of them and it takes like ten minutes tops, to go through them all on the monthly charts and just to scan through, look at what setting up what has room to move for, potential for a new buy trade or a new sell trade for that month. Now, because the, price action within a monthly chart is so much bigger, the way that I trade it just means that we get massive reward tourists. And depending on the actual trade itself, we’ll get reward to risk some about 3 to 1 minimum through to about 6, 7, sometimes 8 to 1 reward to risk off those monthly charts. Now, the issue is that some people will look at a monthly chart and they go, oh, I can’t trade it because the stoploss is too big. That’s not actually the case. What you have to do is reduce your lot size, and you can, in most cases, depending on your account size. Of course, trade very accurately with, accurate risk and position sizing on those bigger time frame charts. And so depending on the month, yeah, I’ll get some months. There’ll be 1 or 2 trades on the monthly chart. Sometimes there’ll be 5 or 6 trades. It just depends on what’s happening at the time. But the monthly charts are just a great way to have some trades running in the background. You see them once a month. You put the trades on just once a month and let them, you know, do their own thing. Now, the way that I personally trade is I split my positions up into two, positions. I take one part of my risk at the market order, and so I want to jump straight in at the market, because the danger is if, let’s say the market’s moving up and you get a good strong candle close in April. In May, may just continue straight up. And so I take a part of my position at the market order, but I also take another part of my position at a buy limit order. So that means if the price retraces first or at some stage within that month, it then fills me at a buy limit order, which is a lot lower than when the candle opens. So I’m looking for, first of all, the price to retrace. Come lower, get my buy order filled, and then move up into the anticipated direction. When you see that happen, your reward to risk becomes really large on those particular type of trades.

You’ve probably heard over the last couple of weeks that tariffs have been in the news. Let’s talk about tariffs and trading and how as a trader we can bypass that news and profit whether the market’s moving up or down. Let’s talk about that a more right now. Hey there, Traders! This is Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 585. Tariffs in the news. So unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably have heard about tariffs in the news over the last few weeks and how the markets have been all over the place. And, you know, there’s a lot of, people grumpy about what’s happening, and the mainstream media are doing their best to stir it up because, you know, of who’s doing it. Just typical mainstream media. Technical trading allows us to trade long and short. The great thing is, though, as a trader, as a technical trader, where the market’s moving up and down and whether it’s tariffs or somebody is saying something or something’s happening, it doesn’t really matter. You see, the press have been winding up the moves that Trump’s, had a result of because of his tariff speech, as market crashes. And that’s just, again, mainstream media trying to make big news out of something. And trying to discredit someone, whereas what’s actually happening is all that’s happened. Yes, the market, moves so big and yes, they fell away. But as a technical trader, I can look at my charts on most of the like the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 and the and the UK Footsie in different markets like that around the world. And see that all that’s happened is the prices come down to a technical level of where the markets were towards the end of last year, towards the end of 2024. So from a technical trader’s point of view, there’s nothing extravagant that has happened. Although you wouldn’t, believe that from watching mainstream media news. Market rises earlier this year and then falls. And the prices has gone up through, you know, December, January, February, March. And it’s just come back. Yes. It’s happened quickly. Yes. It was a big move, but it’s just come back to support technical levels. And now the price is moving back up as I’m recording this right now. The interesting thing is that yet again, mainstream media, nobody talks about the benefits of, oil prices dropping, you know. Yeah, that’s crashed. But again, they tended for some reason, wonder why I keep very quiet on those sort of things. So they’re very selective and what they want you to listen and believe. But as a trader, the advantage is if the market’s moving down well, there’s just opportunities for us to take sell trades on some of those markets. And now that the market started to move back up again there’s opportunities. Guess what. For us to take buy trades on those markets. So again you got to be very careful. The vast majority of people unfortunately don’t understand that the vast majority of people believe what the mainstream media say, and it’s all doom and gloom. Whereas in reality, if you know what you’re doing, it’s not at all. Watch the charts and remove emotion. So as a trader, as someone that looks at the charts and doesn’t get emotional about trading on who’s saying what and how it happened and what happened. You can learn to profit from moves in either direction. Really important that there’s a trader. You’re looking at the charts and you’re you’re looking at what’s actually happening, not what, you know, certain media outlets are making you believe. So it’s just shows the difference between people who are actually trading and people who just believe everything that, you know, is in the newspaper. So it’s very it’s really quite not, not, not a big deal at all. And it opens up lots of great opportunities for us. 20 minutes Masterclass and book a call with us.

Do you often find that with the small trading account, you have difficulty placing trades on charts like daily or weekly or monthly charts that need a bigger stop loss size, and therefore we cannot take the trades. If that’s you. Listen up, I’ve got some great tips and information to share with you. Let’s get into it right now. Hey there, Traders! Andrew here, the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 584. Do you have a small trading account? So I want to talk about people with small trading accounts because a lot of the times I hear people say to me, look, I can’t take those longer time frame charts. I can’t take trades on a daily chart or weekly chart. So monthly charts, because I don’t have a big enough account size to allow for a big stop loss. And unfortunately, it’s a bit of a common misconception that people think they cannot trade on those higher time frame charts, which, by the way, are quite often some of the better trades to take because of the quality of the trades. And the people think they cannot trade them because they require too big a stop loss, and their account is not big enough to allow for that. Understanding risk and your lot size correctly. So the issue actually comes down to understanding risk and understanding how to calculate your stop loss correctly. Because most people don’t do that. A lot of people say, I’m just going to put on 0.1 lots or 1.0 lots or 0.5, whatever it might be. They just put the same lot size on every trade. And if you do that, the problem is, is either, you know, one that when it gets stopped out the, stop loss amount, it’s going to be way too much. And so therefore it could argue lots of smaller gains. And that again comes down to not understanding how to calculate your losses correctly. Now to help you out I’m going to put a link here which you’ll find to my free lot size calculator. You can download my MT4 or MT5 lot size calculator. It’s a script. Put it on your charts and you’ll use it all the time and it will massively help you. But the issue becomes, let’s say, you have a monthly chart trade. It requires looking to make up some numbers at 200 pips, stop loss and someone goes, oh, I can’t take it because my account is not big enough. You probably can. You know, you might end up needing, let’s say, a 0.01 lot size, but you can still take the trade. And the reason it needs to be a bigger stop loss is because it’s all relative to the candle size in the market movement at the time. Now you take that down to a, let’s say, a one hour chart trade, where obviously the movement is a lot smaller and the stop loss needs to be a lot tighter. It might again, for ease of numbers, let’s say it has a ten pips. Sorry, at 20 pips. Stop loss. The monthly chart has 200 pips. Stop loss. The, our chart has a 20 pips. Stop loss. All it means is on your one hour chart, you could probably going to be trading with ten times the, the lot size. The risk is still the same. So you’re not trading at ten times the risk. The risk in terms of the percentage of your account remains the same. It’s just the lot size might be 0.1. Lots on your one hour chart, whereas on your monthly chart it might be 0.01 lots. It says this a ten times, increase in the size of the position because the stop loss again, assuming it’s the same pair and your account size remains much the same. A lot of assumptions. But just to give you a generalization, you stop loss becomes, you know, ten times smaller. Therefore your, your lot size becomes ten times bigger. The risk is still the same. And that’s how you can trade, according to any time frame chart and any stop loss size. So use my lot size calculator. It will massively help you because if you’re not taking trades on longer timeframe charts and you think it’s due to your small account size, you’re really missing out on really good opportunities. Profit targets are all relative to the movement in the market. Now, when it comes to profits on those trades, again, we trade according to candle size. The market movement at the time, and it’s all relative. So again, to use some very basic numbers, let’s say on your monthly chart trade your profit target it was 600 pips. And that’s three times 200, obviously. It’s not 600 pips just because it’s three times. I’m giving you some basic numbers here, but let’s say on your one hour chart, it was a 60 pip profit target with a 20 pip stop loss. You see how the both trades have the same risk in terms of percentage, and both have the same reward to risk. They both have a 3 to 1 reward. The risk. Now for a 60 pip movement on a one hour chart, with 20 pips stop loss, that’s giving you plenty of room to move. Likewise, on a monthly chart where you’re going to need even more room to move, but you’re going to get bigger movements up and, you know, against you and in your direction, your 600 pips stop for you. 200 pips. Stop. Sorry. A 600 pip profit for your 200 pip stop is still a 3 to 1 reward to risk trade. So you see how it’s all relative. And let’s say one trade works and the other doesn’t. It doesn’t matter which way round it is, the trade that loses is going to lose, let’s say 1% on your account and the other one that makes is going to make a 3% account gain, net 2%, even though you’ve won one of the trades and lost one of the trades. So it’s really important that you understand risk to reward and it also is important to allow you to take trades on these bigger time frame charts with the bigger stop losses, that you understand your lot size calculation correctly, so that every trade has low, equal, controlled and known risk. Use my free MT4/MT5 Lot Size Calculator Script. So as mentioned, there will be a link here somewhere that you can find my to download my MT4 or MT5 lot size calculator script. It’s really important to do that. 17 minutes Masterclass and Book a Call.

So you want to know how to pass a prop foam challenge and to make money by making commissions via prop firm. Let’s talk about that a more right now. Hey there, traders! Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach with video on podcast number 583. Advantages and disadvantages of trading on a prop firm. Today is about passing prop firm challenges, the pitfalls and the advantages of trading via a prop firm. Now, if you don’t know, all approximates, go and have a look online. If you do know what one is. Then you’ll know that they’re not always as easy to pass as you might think. They look really good, and for a lot of people, they look to be a fantastic way of making some very, very good, substantial profits from trading. But with that, needing your own funds and that is the obvious advantage of them. But there are a number of things you have to be careful of. People jump in too soon and then fail. One of the most common issues that I see is that people jump into a prop firm way too soon. They should don’t know how to trade, and they just think they’re going to pay $500 to get $100,000 account. Pass a few demo challenges onto real money, make a fortune. The reality is that for most people, that’s not going to happen. And it comes back to, as I’ve mentioned, that they jump too soon. So for me, it’s really important that you look at a prop firm maybe as something maybe like 6 to 12 months from now. So it’s a profitable first, get yourself profitable and have confidence in strategy and understand it on a demo account. Then a small live account and then maybe a larger live account. And at that point, with consistency and with the meeting, the rules of a prop firm. You can then go and successfully pass the challenge. Now this printed out some, a prop firm challenge here. This happens to be from, blueberry funded. And they have one and two step processes. I actually really like the two stage process. The two step process. I’ll tell you what, because you have to prove yourself twice on a demo account before you go to live money. And what I like about it is because you have to prove yourself twice, and you will probably take a little bit longer to pass the demo, challenge or challenges. Prop firm challenge example. As a result of that, you get given a larger drawdown amount. And to me, probably the most, well, the biggest reason why people don’t pass prop firm challenges is because they get stopped at and they reached the drawdown criteria, and that means that they’re risking too much and they’re having too many losing trades, etc.. What I like with this idea is that you need to make a, a 10% gain, but also they allow you up to a 10% drawdown. So there’s a lot more flexible in there. And so by going through a two stage process, having that bigger drawdown, ability, when you get on to the real account, things become a lot easier. You think about it, if you have the ability to have, let’s say, a 10% drawdown as opposed to maybe a 5 or 6% drawdown when it comes to real trading and real money. It just gives you a lot more flexibility. So don’t just pick like the quickest solution or the cheapest solution. Pick one that’s going to suit you. And don’t be in a race to pass the demo challenge to get on to real money. Large gains for a small investment. When it comes to real money, if you think about things just in very basic terms, let’s say cost $500 to have a $100,000 account and you pass the demo challenges and then on the real money of 100,000, you have to get to, let’s say, 10%, and obviously it’s $10,000 or an 80/20 profit share means that you potentially could be on a an $8,000 profit every time you reach the, the next stage of their criteria. So if your $500 investment sure might take you a little bit longer to get to the real money. But then when you’re off and rolling with that bigger drawdown criteria, you’re making some good amounts. Use a VPS and copier software. Don’t forget also, you don’t have to stick to one challenge or one broker or, you know, one prop firm. You can have multiple going. And what you could do and what I suggest you consider, if that’s the case, is you use a virtual server and a bit of copy service, to copy between accounts. So you just focus on your one, personal smaller account, knowing that the trades are being copied behind the scenes automatically according to the size of the account that you traded, and everything becomes automated. It’s far easier for you to trade and focus on your one account. Let’s say $10,000 person live account. Knowing that the trades have been copied, then calculating your entry in your exit and your risk. Lot size, etc. on multiple accounts of various sizes. So focus on your one account, knowing that behind the scenes that get copied automatically for you. A free and LIVE webinar for passing a prop firm challenge.

As a trader, if you open any charting package, whether it’s MetaTrader like I’ve got the Me here or Trading view, whatever it is that you use, you will find that trading package, that charting package absolutely full of various indicators. They can be dots and lines and arrows and triangles and all sorts of different things on your charts. And I’ll tell you what, they look amazing, don’t they? They look so good, especially if you’re a new trader and everybody falls for it. I know I did this like 20 years ago. I had this moving average crossing over that one and a swing low here and a MACD there, and I looked absolutely beautiful, and I knew that I was going to become a multi-millionaire in no time at all, because as soon as this line crossed that line there, and this dot showed there and below it and all those things, it was going to be a brilliant, simple, easy trade. Said reality is, none of that is true. That is the truth. Most Indicators don’t work. The reality is that almost all indicators that you see on a standard charting package, they lag time, they tell you what’s already happened, they can’t help you, most of them with what’s likely to happen or any sensible trading decisions. Sure, there are some that can be used as a bit of an age once you know what you’re doing. You must look at the price. But in general, most people get completely caught up because they don’t look at the obvious thing. And that’s the right hand side of the chart, and they do not look at the price. If you don’t look at the price and you rely on dots and arrows and lines, etc., you’re going to get spaghetti on your charts and you’re not seeing what’s really happening. You’re not seeing the true psychology behind what’s happening. What’s really happening are the buyers are the sellers. Has it bounced at that level before all those type of things? You’re completely ignoring because you’re failing to look at the price? Horizontal levels and Candles are good indicators. I much prefer a number of indicators. Horizontal levels are absolutely fantastic. Why? Because they never move. A horizontal level that you see is the same as what I see at the same time. You know, again, the price, whether it be the daily pivot point, support and resistance level, swing high swing lows, those things never change. And so by having those on your chart, it’s giving you something that’s an absolute that’s actually happened. If the price pulls back to a round number and that happens to be a previous swing low and it bounces at that level, well, quite likely, then you’re going to get that support level holding and the price is likely to move up. So then I add another, indicator of a sort and that’s candle, patterns and understanding candles themselves. What they’re telling me are they exhaustion candles. Are they indecision candles. Are they confirmation of a change in direction? Are they confirmation of a continuation pattern or a reversal pattern? All these type of things are really important for you to understand, as a trader. And you can only really make that decision about a candle upon the close of a candle, because then it becomes again, like a horizontal line. It set is an absolute and it’s never going to change. There are a few extra little indicators that I do like, to help me give a likely, change in direction such as divergence. I think that is a very, powerful, way of looking at using an indicator. Can help with reversal and continuation patterns if you have it set up right. You cannot just take every divergence signal and go, here’s a buy or sell again, you still need to include those round numbers, those support and resistance levels and the candle patterns as well. But you can start to see now when you put some common sense, and some real trading knowledge into it, how very simple indicators like that will work and do work and be proven to work as opposed to and lines and arrows and things on your standard trading package, which just will give you lots of headaches. In reality, as a trader. And so that would be my suggestion. You find some, someone that understands how to trade properly. Someone has a proven system in the strategy, and you join and follow that.

As a forex trader, what are the best forex pairs that you can look at trading? Let’s talk about that a more. Right now. Hey traders, Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 581. Forex pairs – what to choose? What to talk about forex pairs as a trader you have a lot of pairs available and a lot of people, especially when they start. I get very confused with the different currency pairs. You standard main pairs you get you exotics, you get your minors, and more and more pairs now are available to us as traders. So really the question is what is the best pair to trade? Well, a lot of people think you need to trade just the euro US dollar or just the US yen because their spreads are tight. And in the case of the EUR/USD, it tends to have the most movement or not some movement, but the most volume traded on it, per day in general. And then other people look at pairs like the GBP/JPY because it moves a lot and they think they need to trade that. And then people look at pairs like the EUR/CHF, which doesn’t move a lot, and they think they can’t trade it. So that becomes a lot of confusion out there. Do you need, like the most liquid pair, the tighter spread. Do you need one that moves a lot? Do you need one that doesn’t move at all? The best pair to trade is …….. And so my answer is it depends. And I know I say that to a few things because it’s true. I don’t just trade the NZD/USD or against the JPY because I live in New Zealand. You shouldn’t do that either. You shouldn’t have an emotional tie to a currency pair. What you should do is look through all the currency pairs. And the reason I say that there’s a few reasons. Assessing Strength and Weakness. Number one, you can assess strength and weakness very well. If you do that. As an example, rather than just looking at the EUR/USD, why don’t you look at also the EUR/JPY, the EUR/GBP, the EUR/AUD, EUR/NZD, EUR/CAD and make a full assessment. So if for example you can do that and you see let’s say all of those pairs were moving up, that’s going to give you a fairly good indication that the Euro is very, very strong. But if you didn’t do that and you looked at just the EUR/USD and is moving up, you don’t know whether the strength in the Euro or whether that movement of the EUR/USD heading up is, is just because the US is extremely weak right now. So you might be taking a by trade on the EUR/USD thinking the strength in the Euro, whereas it may just be the US weakness that’s pushing it up. And the Euro against other pairs may actually be dropping. So you’re not doing yourself any favors there. So to assess multiple currency pairs is going to be your best option. Fine tuning to pick the best setup available. The other thing that gives you is let’s say you see really good buy trades on the EUR/USD, the EUR/CAD, the EUR/AUD, the EUR/NZD, the EUR/CHF. Let’s say they’re all showing some fairly good setups at the same time. And by the way, I only trade on the close of a candle. Let’s say you see that what you really then should do is fine tune those setups and maybe pick 1 or 2 of the very best ones setups that give you a high probability chance of a success for trade setups that have round numbers in their favor. On a buy trade that doesn’t need to break a previous swing high, things like that. So you can be really, really critical of setups and fine tuned to make sure that when you take your trades and there’s multiple trade showing at the same time, you can be selective and choose the highest quality trades. So that’s why I say you should be looking at multiple currency pairs. And it’s very easy to do once you know what you’re doing. Once you understand candle patterns, you can very easy scans through multiple pairs very, very quickly on the close of a candle and identify the best quality setups. 17 minutes Masterclass.

What percentage win rate do you need to be a successful and profitable trader? Let’s get into that and more right now. Hey there, Trades! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach. Video on podcast number 580. What should your win rate be? Want talk all about a winning percentage level rate. What should it be? and what do you need that to be in order to be a profitable trader. Now the answer is quite interesting. And it may not be quite what you’re expecting me to say. You see, if I ask most people out there, what should your percentage win rate paid? They’ll go, oh, it needs to be 80%, 90% in order to be profitable. Then it’s not actually true. There’s more to it than just the win rate. Yes, sure. The win rate is very important. And yes, it’s more than just how many winning trades you get. Controlling your emotions. It’s the whole mental approach to trading. There’s two things in trading you need to control. Like I’ve said, one’s ahead, one’s your heart. You’ve got to control your emotions. And so obviously having more winning trades, more profitable trades is a good thing psychologically, emotionally it helps you trading. Of course it does gives you confidence. Everybody wants to see winning trades. An example of a 90% winning system trader. But here’s a scenario, I had someone many years ago, and you may have heard me talk about this in the past, who came to me with and this was a real situation, by the way, came to me with a 90% winning system. So every ten trades, they had nine profitable trades, one loss. You’d think, especially if you’re relatively new to trading. Wow, what an amazing system. I want to know how they did it. The issue is, is that person was losing money. And you think about it. How does that happen? Well, it’s quite simple. What they were doing is having small wins and a big loss. And to put it in very simple, basic terms, let’s, let’s talk pips. You know, I don’t like pips. And I don’t believe in pips as a way of identifying profit. But let’s make it simple. And let’s say that they had nine trades in a row making an average of ten pips profit. So therefore they made 90 pips. You could think of it as like percentages. And they had one loss out of those ten trades that lost let’s say 100 pips. So now the minus ten pips. If they were making 1% all the time and they lost 10%. Yeah. Same thing. You know, they’re negative, but the win rate’s really good, which is what you all want. And I’m here to say, well, maybe it’s not quite as important as you think. So for me, there’s more important factors. A high reward:risk is more important. And a good strategy to me should always have a high reward to risk. And that’s more important. And let’s do some very quick numbers again. Let’s imagine we still have ten trades. And let’s imagine instead of being a 90% winning system we’re only a 50%. So we’re losing half the trades. We take one and every two trades we take will now lose. Okay. In this scenario. Now let’s say we have a 3 to 1 reward to risk trade. So that means on every single trader take I have a stop loss. Let’s call it 1%. And I have a profit targets. Let’s say it’s three times. Now of course in reality it’s not always going to be exactly that. But let’s for example, assume like some basic numbers. So three times my risk is my reward. So I have five trades five trades lose 1% each 5% loss five trades win 3 to 1. They make 3% each 15%. So I’ve lost 5%, made 15%. Obviously it becomes a net gain. Positive 10%. But I’ve lost 50% of my trades. And you go well how can you lose half your trades and still be profitable? Well, I’ve shown you. So you take that scenario further and you can see like at 40%, 30%. And you know, you work out the numbers and the mathematical and, you know, numbers there and the stats, and you realize that you don’t have to have a 90% win rate. It’s more important to have the quality trades and the high reward to risk than it is simply to aim for maximum wins. Summary of what’s important to be a profitable trader. So I hope that helps explain that scenario. I think it’s really important that you you understand that because it will massively, potentially change it or help you with your trading, but change the way you’re thinking of trading and get right to looking for high quality trades that are going to more likely give you high reward to risk. Have your low controlled risk on every single trade. High profitable trades. Think of it as stepping. You have like, little losses, big gains, little losses, big gains like that. That’s how you become successful and profitable. Far more so than worrying just about you win rate.

Is your Forex Broker’s Trading Platform set to the right time zone? If it’s not, it could be causing you many unnecessary losses. Let’s find out about that and more right now. Hey there, Traders! It’s Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 579. What time do your charts start the new trading day? You can ask the question about forex brokers and the time that their platform start the trading day and the trading week. It’s really important that you get this right, because maybe there’s a lot of people out there that just don’t understand it and don’t understand understand the importance of getting it correct. So it doesn’t matter where you live in the world, the correct start time of the new week and each day of the trading week is always at 5:00 P.M. New York time. That’s Eastern Standard Time. So again, it doesn’t matter where you live. Doesn’t matter where I live. All you need to do is convert your local time into that 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, new York time start of day. And obviously with most people around the world, they will have daylight saving. When you change from, you know, into summer, into winter, etc. and that’s the same also in New York. But 5:00 P.M. New York time is always 5:00 P.M. New York time. So the only thing that’s going to change is what that converts to in your local time zone. So really important that you understand that. And there could be differences like for me right now in, March, we are in summer time in the southern hemisphere. But of course, in the northern hemisphere where New York is, it’s still like wintertime, winter in the spring. And, you know, vice versa. When they go to summer, we go to winter. 5:00 P.M. EST New York time is when the charts open for the new day. But you have to understand that 5:00 PM New York time is always 5:00 P.M. New York time. So get that bit right and you’ll be fine. So how do you check that on your forex brokers trading platform? Well, the easy way to do that is to see when the new week starts. So when the charts open for the first time in the week, that should be Sunday 5:00 P.M. New York time, and each subsequent day will be 5:00 P.M. New York time. And if you’re seeing that on your charts, generally if you go down to like a one hour chart, it will start at 00:00 Timestamp and you will see that on your charts and you’ll know in your local time zone what time that is. You’ll know that’s the start of the day. You’ll also figure out that that converts to 5:00 PM New York time. Perfect. You’re good to go. Does your broker have a “Sunday candle”? The issue that we find not as much today is it used to happen, but some brokers used to have what we call a Sunday candle, and that would have been a candle that lasts 2 or 3 hours, at the beginning of the week before their first full day starts. Now, when you think about the problems that causes is the charts. So if you’re using light indicators or support and resistance levels whenever you’re using, it assumes that one bar is equal. So it assumes that in the correct chart you should have five days on the daily charts. Each of them having exactly 24 hours. And if you do, fantastic. Everything’s good. The issue, though is if you’re broke, it doesn’t do that. And it has this small candle at the beginning of the week and it’s representing effectively one day. But it’s not because it might only be a handful of hours. Generally, the market doesn’t move much at the very beginning of the week, and so all your indicators, your levels, etc. will be completely incorrect and distorted. So you had to be very careful with that. Have a look at the brokers that I use – see here https://theforextradingcoach.com/forex_trading_resources/ So have a look at brokers that I use and I suggest especially like a broker like Blueberry Markets. They always open their new day on the forex market. It doesn’t matter what time of year. It’s always 5:00 pm, New York time, Eastern Standard Time. Very important that you get that right. And it will massively help you because everything then is set correctly with the forex market. So I’ll put a link to Blueberry Markets if you’re interested in checking them out and having a look at them. I think they’re very good broker.

Today, I’m going to discuss the five things that you must have as part of your trading plan in order to be a successful, independent and profitable forex trader. Really important this. Let’s get into the more right now. Hey there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 578. What you must do in order to succeed as a Forex trader. That’s right today I’m going to give you my five top points that you must have in order to become a successful trader, but a profitable trader and also an independent and knowledgeable trader. So let’s get into it. #1 You must have confidence in your trading strategy. Now the first point is you must have full and utter confidence in your trading strategy. You must know exactly what to do when to do it. You must have proof in your strategy that it’s been proven across different markets, across different time frame charts, across a large amount of length of time that you’ve traded that on demo and small live accounts before taking it a little bit more serious on a bigger candle problem. But you have to have that strategy. Why? Well, otherwise you’re going to doubt yourself. Aren’t you? Going to see something and you go, I’m not quite sure what to do here or you start gambling or you leave a trade because you’ve had a few losing trades. And of course, that’s the one that would have won. And you do all these silly things and you break the rules, you break your plan and it all comes down to having no confidence or a lack of confidence in what you are doing as a trader yourself and or your trading strategy. It’s because it’s not proven, because you’re not really 100% committed and confident with it. And so to have a trading strategy, you’re fully on board with is the most important thing as part of being a successful and independent trader. #2 Forget Pips and understand Percentages. The second point is you must understand risk. Forget pips, do not count your success or your failure on pips is just madness. Luckily, over the last number of years, more and more people have figured that out. But when I started, everybody talked in pips and I’m talking 20 years ago now. But luckily today people understand percentages of risk. Now, for me, it’s vitally important that you have low and controlled risk on every single one of your trades and it’s equal. So what that does is one, it gives you peace of mind that knowing that if a trade goes against you and we all have trades, it get stopped in you. No it’s perfect. It’s a part of trading. You got to accept it. But if a trade goes against us that’s fine. Providing that the set up that we took at the time look good and you can have some fantastic looking trade setups. And sometimes the market goes against you. Something happens, news announcement, somebody says something, whatever it is and the trade just goes wrong, that’s that’s life. Okay? But if the trade goes against you, you have to know that you lose a set low and pre known amount as a percentage of your trading account. Therefore it doesn’t matter if you’re trading $1,000, $10,000, $100,000, $1 million, it doesn’t matter. It’s still the same percentage risk. It also means that it doesn’t matter whether I’m trading a monthly chart or a 15 minute time frame chart. For me, my trades all have the same risk. So as an example, it’s that 15 minute chart trade was the profit or the monthly chart lost all the other way around. It doesn’t really matter. I know how much I’m losing as a percentage of my account on either of those two trades. They have equal and low and known risk. #3 High Reward:Risk trades. The third point you have to have leading on from that is high reward to risk trades. You’re never going to make money if you have trades that make less than you risk. It’s just hardly going to happen because you’re winning percentage needs to be absolutely perfect. It’s hardly going to happen. So a lot of the times I see people at their. One they’re trading on two shorter time friend chart, and it means that they have a real struggle to gain a high reward to risk from their trades. You see the high the time frame chart in general, the higher the reward to risk you can get out of the trade in general, not all the time, but that would be a pretty general thing to suggest. And so if you are trading, let’s say 2 hours, 4 hours, 6, 8, 12, daily, weekly, monthly, you’re going to get yourself a lot, lot better reward to risk as you get higher and higher timeframes. Then if you’re trading, say, hour charts or 15 minute or 5 minute or anything like that. And so having high reward to risk is crucial because it means you can have, let’s say, two losing trades, one winning trades, a net gain. You’re still making a large amount of gain again in a percentage terms. So a little bit like the reward to risk. It doesn’t matter what the time frame or how big the stop loss is in terms of pips. You’re providing that your gain is multiple times your risk. Your profitable trades will have, let’s say, high 5% risk, maybe one and a half to 2.5% gain for a half percent risk. That’s what I mean by reward to risk. So you have to have that in your favor. Just little small losses, big gains, little small losses, big gains. That’s how you’re going to achieve great results as a trader. #4 Don’t let trading control your life. The fourth point is you must be realistic about your trading. Does your strategy and the way you need to trade it to be successful? Does it work in like properly with what else are you doing with your family with, you know, sport, music, you know, kids travel, work, you know, whatever it is that you do, hobbies, you have to be realistic about this. And so I think it’s really important that you look at, for me, my strategy, I only look at a trade on the completion of a candle. So that’s a daily chart. I just need to look once a day. If it’s a 12 hour chart, I just need to look twice a day. See what I mean? 8 hour chart three times a day. I don’t only look once a day on those because of times of day. It has to be realistic for where you live. Doesn’t matter that I live in New Zealand, you may live somewhere else. Doesn’t matter that the market opens in New York. Forget that we can all trade like the longer timeframe charts. That also leads on to one other point that I haven’t put on here. But for me, the importance of high reward to risk means trading in limit orders as well. I’ve made another video about that that you can find. #5 Belong to a trading community. And lastly, point number five, this is not an absolute must have, but I think it’s vitally important for people, especially if you’re newer to trading and it’s about having support. It’s about having a network of people, someone to talk to, someone to bounce ideas off, someone to ask questions to, a community of like minded good traders all at this trading the same strategy. And that’s why we come into things that The Forex Trading Coach, our community, our forum site, our daily trades that we post each day, our live weekly webinars, the communication between clients and ourselves and everybody helping each other out with the same trading strategy is vital. I quite often will see someone post a trade on my forum site. Now I wasn’t even looking at the time. That’s a great trade. Thank you very much. Last week, for example, I had a plus 3.6% gain for the week and I only risked a quarter of 1% on each one of those trades because they get copied through the prop firms. So having that community that supports like minded people trading the same strategy is massively important and you cannot underestimate that importance out there.

Why is it that so many trading strategies fail to deliver? They look promising and then they fail? Let’s get into that a more right now. Hey there, Traders! This is Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of The Forex Trading Coach with video on podcast number 577. Failing trading strategies. Today I want to talk about failing trading strategies. Why do so many strategies fail? You hear the stats out there like 90-95% of all people lose money when trading. So what is it about that the why? Why this strategy is just not working? It’s quite annoying for people. You know, people would put a lot of time and effort into developing trading strategies. They do a lot of backtesting, a lot of research, and inevitably things go wrong when they take it live. So a few reasons. A lack of trading knowledge. One of the main reasons is actually a lack of trading common sense and knowledge within the strategy itself. And what I mean by that is a few things. A lot of people just fail to actually understand what is happening in the market right now. Actually, is it a good time to be trading right now based on what you’re seeing on the charts? And that, of course, can determine by the timeframe chart you’re trading, the time of day you’re trading the currency pair or even the market. If you’re looking at cryptos or metals indices, etc.. But a lot of people just rely so much on a big mismatch of indicators. And this one crossing over that one and all these results look really cool. The indicators look really flashy and and look how I’ve done it myself. Years and years ago I did exactly that. I was over optimizing things. I was making the perfect, you know, curve, results and and everything on paper was looking amazing until I took it live. And time after time after time, the strategy failed and I lost money. And it gets very frustrating because, as mentioned, people spend a lot of time trying to work out a strategy for them, but they fail to look at things like the price, the obvious thing, like what is the price right now? The amount of times I see people like selling signals and services. And as an example, there’s a big right number in the way, and they’re taking it buy trade straight into that round number. Like why would you do that? That just makes no sense to me. But whether that’s an automated system or that’s because this line crossed over that line and it says buy now that’s what they do. What is the actual price? They fail to look at the right hand side and go, that’s a round number. And oh, let’s have a look back through history. You wouldn’t believe it. But every time that round number has been hit in the past multiple currencies, it hits that level and falls away again. So guess what’s likely to happen right now? It’s likely to head back up there and drop away again. And so if you understand candles and you have a strategy that looks at the price and understands what’s happening in the market, you can look at that and say, I think is a great opportunity for sell trade here. My longer term might be down. You know, all these things that we look at could be saying a sell trade but a lot of other people were looking at this and they’re crossing over, something’s crossing over another line and they’re just taking it by trade just willy nilly, because this line’s crossed over that line and that’s their strategy. Now, when they developed that strategy, they probably tested it, back tested it, curve fitted it, over optimize it. And it worked beautifully again until they take it live. A signal service website. Give you another example. A few weeks ago I was suggested to have a look at a signal service website where there was some really quite good results. And I was very careful and very particular with the signals that I trialed and I purchased, because I made sure that I chose ones that had very low drawdowns and put a combination together that was very low in its risk. And to be honest, for the first few weeks it was actually going okay. And then guess what? The market changed and a currency pair started to fall. And it kept buying and buying and buying and 2 or 3 strategies combined all went wrong. And in the end it lost a big chunk of my capital. Luckily I was only on a relatively small account and just demoing. Well, not live money, but, you know, just experimenting with it. But it just lost and it just showed me yet again that you should never really rely on a system that you don’t know how it’s traded. What makes us different? And that, again, comes back to how we trade and why I believe what we do is so exceptionally good, and how our traders and our clients become so successful because they understand what it is they are doing. They know when to enter the market. They know exactly where to enter and exit. They know why they’re doing it. They know when to look at the charts. They know which charts in which trades and which pairs to avoid. When the market is going sideways and there’s nothing happening. They understand strength and weakness within currencies. They have some support and some help. And you put all that together with a very well proven strategy that we’ve been teaching now for coming on close on 16 years this year. 16 years of coaching. Now, if you want proof of longevity against an across market, across different time frames, across trading conditions, that’s what you need. And again, it comes back to the basics. And we look at price action. We look at the price we look at. Are there more buyers or sellers in the market right now? Which way is the market moving. Has it hit a certain level? Is it likely to bounce there again? Have we got room to our profit target? Have we got protection for our stop loss? Do we have high reward to risk on our trades? Do we have low risk per trade. All these things put together, it’s like a broken record going round around around again. I’ve said it for 577 videos and podcasts right now because it’s something you’ve got to get right within your trading because it works. 17 minutes Masterclass and Book a Call.

Today I'm going to talk about indecision candles, how to trade them, how you can use them, how you can take advantage of them, and how they will likely improve your trading performance. Let's get into that a more right now. Hi Traders! This is Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach for a video on podcast number 576. What are Indecision candles and how do you use them? Outside again today, another stunning New Zealand summertime day. I want to talk today about indecision candles. They are candles that open and close at pretty much the same price. There are candles that are small so they can be called or look like a hanging man candle or a pin bar or doji, depending on where they show within the charts. Now, do we trade them just by themselves? Absolutely not. You always need to have some form of confirmation candle after the indecision candle to give you the trade entry. However, they can be what I call an early warning system, and that can be really important to your overall trading success. I'll give you a few examples. Examples of using an Indecision candle. Let's say that you saw a big uptrend, and then the uptrend suddenly stalled and a indecision candle formed. It could be a hanging man pattern let's say. That's giving us the clue after the uptrend. That is some stage during that hanging man. That the sellers were in control and had started to push the market down. Now by the close of the candle the buyers had pushed it back up again. But it tells us that there are sellers out there within the market. And so the beauty of that is it gives you a clue of what could be coming. Now the other important thing is to see that indecision candle bounce at a certain level. It could be a round number. It could be a previous high some form of resistance level to give you a clue that it's actually happening for a reason. We don't still take a trade. We then need to wait for the next candle to form a bearish confirmation candle, and that then gives us the confirmation to go short. So a great way of saying well potentially there's a trade coming here. Now I've seen confirmation. Now I get in the trade as a reversal. Same thing with a continuation trade as well. The other scenario could be that would help you is let's say you were in a trade. Let's say you in that same uptrend and you're not quite at your profit target. And you see an indecision candle. Well that's giving you again the same early warning signal to say potentially our uptrend could be coming to an end. You may not see the reversal signal come next and the trend might continue back up again. Still hasn't got your profit target. Let's say there's another indecision candle that something to tell me that may be this uptrend not going to continue. So that potentially then could be your clue to get out of the trade either completely or partially or maybe move your stop loss, whatever it is that you do as a trade management tool to ensure that when the trade does turn around, let's say, and it starts dropping, that you don't lose out on that trade and your winning trade ends up turning around to, let's say, a complete loss. That's just what you don't want is what you need to do everything to avoid. Your trading edge. And so to me, looking at charts and seeing what actually the mea...…

How do you trade in less than 30 minutes a day? Is it possible and is it realistic? Let's talk about that a more right now. Hey there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 575. Trading in 30 minutes or less per day. I quite often get asked the question, look Andrew, you say that you trade in 30 minutes or less per day. How do you realistically do that and can you do that as a new trader? You see you know, the answer is yes, you can. Of course. That's why we say so. But the problem that I find is so many new people to trading and look I did the same, you know, myself 20 plus years ago. The issue that people have is they feel that they should be looking at, taking trades all the time. And as a result of that, the fun, the excitement, the, you know, the movement, is often seen on the very short timeframe charts such as, like one minute charts, five minute charts, 15 minute charts, and people feel that they need to be looking at those because that's how they accumulate, trades and pips. People still mistakenly count their success in pips, which of course is completely the wrong thing to do. New traders think they need to be taking trades all of the time. And so when people start out, they think that they need to take lots of little trades. The realization comes when you realize that you're just not making money from that. One the cost of the spread just gets in the way pretty much on almost every trade you take on the forex market and, you know, just eats into any profit. Reward to risk is very hard to achieve or a good reward to risk. And also just realistically, you tend to find that a lot of people will sit down. They see a trade, or they think they see a trade because they're ready. And so they're taking far too many trades there, forcing trades because they're sitting that. And the other realization is that it's actually not very enjoyable when you're spending so much time looking at the charts, flicking through charts, getting very stressed when trades are open because you're watching, like, small moves up and down, you know, going into profit, then you trade goes against you. Oh my goodness, I need to close it early and you start doing all these sort of crazy, rash, things without, you know, decisions without really a lot of thought or planning behind it. Less is more. So for me, the answer is less is more. I've been a fan of longer time frame charts. Now, it doesn't mean to say I don't look short a time frame. When I hold webinars for my clients, I look at one hour charts, etc. two hours, sometimes 30 minutes, but not very often. But 90% of my trading is done on the longer timeframe charts of like, six hour, eight hour, 12 hour, daily, weekly, monthly. And you'll find that those are a lot more enjoyable, are a lot more, reliability within the candles as well, within the charts. Reward risk is easier. Spread becomes you know, almost insignificant on so many of those pairs when you're on a daily, weekly and monthly timeframe charts. So that becomes better, becomes more reliable. My 2 preferred trading times. Now, when you know when to look at your charts. Now, my two preferred times,…

What to Do When Timeframes Disagree in Forex Podcast: Find out more about Blueberry Markets – Click Here Find out more about my Online Video Forex Course Book a Call with Andrew or one of his team now Click Here to Watch Prop Firm Masterclass #574: What to Do When Timeframes Disagree in Forex In this video: 00:31 – Confusion on the charts. 01:13 – The longer time frame charts are generally more reliable. 01:44 – How I’d approach this scenario. 04:03 – High Reward:Risk trading. 05:20 - 17 minutes Masterclass and Book a Call. 05:44 – Blueberry Markets as a Forex Broker. 06:07 – Comments, Like & Subscribe. What do you do when you see this scenario happening on your charts? You're looking at the same pair, but on two different time frame charts, and you're seeing two signals but in opposite directions. It's a common issue. We have a simple solution for you. Let's talk about that and more right back. Hey there. Traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video on podcast number 574. Confusion on the charts. A common scenario that causes a lot of issues. You’re on the EUR/USD. You're on the daily time frame and you see a fantastic buy trade setting up. And you're thinking fantastic. Let's take a trade on this. Moving the market upwards in a bullish buy direction. With the euro looking strong us looking weak. The issue is that you just taken that trade and you then scan through different time frame charts. And at the same time you're seeing on the one hour chart the EUR/USD falling and it causes confusion. What do you do in that scenario? Do you take both positions? Do you take neither? You get confused. Do you get stopped out on both? What should you do. The longer time frame charts are generally more reliable. So, simple solution for you is this. In general, the longer time frame charts are more accurate. In general, they should be more reliable. They offer in general, high reward to risk trades, and they are better to take because they have more data contained in within them. And you can allow for fluctuations in market movements because you stop losses is likely to be bigger. But of course your profit target is going to be bigger. Your reward to risk is still similar, but probably better to your one hour time frame chart. How I’d approach this scenario. And so what I like to do is I would certainly be taking that buy trade on the daily time frame, because that's where my bread and butter trading comes from. However, the way that we trade is that we don't just say we're taking it buy trade on that daily time frame. We look for retracements within the market, so unexpecting at some stage within that day. For the EUR/USD to fall. And that could be the exact scenario that you're seeing at that time. But on the shorter timeframe chart where we see our sell opportunity on the one hour chart. So on the daily timeframe, yes. Overall, I'm expecting within the next day or so for the market to move up. But I'm realistic and I'm expecting that potentially we should see a pullback or a retracement first. So when you go to your shorter time frame chart, it's like you one, two, three, four hour charts. You may well see a sell trade and see the market pull back. Now two scenarios there. You could look at that and go well longer time. I'm seeing the market moving up. I'm ignoring that shorter time frame sell opportunity. Or you can say, well I can see that sell opportunity because it's on a short timeframe. Realistically my stop loss or my profit target a lot smaller. Again, the ratios are very similar, but there are lots more in terms of size. So what you can do is take that sell trade at the same time, and you can profit from that small pullback on the shorter timeframe chart, whether it's one, two, 3 or 4 hour chart let’s say. You can profit on that sell trade at the same time as that moves down, you're probably going to find on your daily chart your l...…

What are you going to do to make that happen? Let's discuss that and more right now. Hey there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 573. Setting your trading goals for 2025. First video on podcast for 2025. So the obvious thing that everybody talks about at the beginning of the year is New Years Resolutions, setting goals, all those type of things. Now I'm kind of going to talk about that, but I also want to make it realistic. You see, I've sent out an email just yesterday talking about why people quit their New Year's resolutions, and already by mid January, most people are given up on diets and gyms and all these things they said they were going to do. So it's no good discussing that. Because realistically, some of those things are just not going to be achievable and you've probably already given up by now. So I'm a realistic, I like practical, realistic things, achievable goals. What are you going to do to become successful this year? So what is it that you are going to do to make sure that this year becomes a great trading year for you? What have you got written down? What have you set in place? What did you discuss with other people to ensure that with your trading, do you have the knowledge, the experience, the strategy, the support, to know what you're doing? Do you know, realistically, when you can trade, practically, when you can trade, how is it going to fit in with what you do, your lifestyle, your family commitments, sporting, music, work, whatever it is that you have going on in your life? So that's how we get to the end of this year. You can look back and go, yeah, look, I pretty much stuck to my trading plan because I set realistic expectations at the beginning of the year when I can trade what markets I'm going to trade, what timeframes I'm going to look at, what type of patterns or in news events. If you're a fundamental trader, what am I trading to make it real? What's my risk going to be? How many trades would I have open maximum at any one time. What am I realistic? Drawdown expectations. My profit expectations? Am I going to invest in myself? Am I going to invest in education? Have I already done that? If I've done that, have I actually followed through with that information and learned it properly? Or I just sort of glossed over it last year, not really giving it a good shot. All those things you need to decide for yourself, but make it real. Trading in less than 30 minutes a day. That's why I say that we can trade in 30 minutes or less per day, because it's something that's realistically achievable, it's enjoyable and it can be achieved by anybody. Doesn't matter where they live in the world or what their other commitments are. You can trade once a day at 5 p.m. New York time. You don't even need to be there, by the way. We've got clients in 108 countries. Of course, not everybody can be on at that time. So that's why we use limit orders as well. We make it real. We make it, something that is achievable to everybody.…
