When Not to Trade a Pair

  • Avoid trading pairs that do not align with your daily and higher timeframe bias; taking trades against the primary trend reduces the probability of success.
  • Do not trade in markets lacking clear direction or showing choppy, indecisive price action, as these conditions present low-probability opportunities.
  • Refrain from trading solely based on short-term moves (e.g., one- or five-minute chart structures) if they conflict with higher timeframe trends.
  • The highest probability trades occur in clear, trending markets that align across multiple timeframes.
  • Do not force trades; if your preferred pair or the market conditions do not present a high-probability setup, it is advisable not to trade that day.

Trading Discipline and Mindset

  • Successful trading requires adopting a high standard of work ethic and being willing to outwork others in the community.
  • Top traders often take fewer but higher-quality trades, emphasizing patience and selectivity over frequency.
  • Consistently review and journal trades to understand and learn from losses, using historical price action as a tool for improvement.
  • Embrace failure as part of the learning process; repeated attempts and improvements from each experience yield better results over time.
  • Treat trading with seriousness and accountability, avoiding excuses and holding oneself to commitments (e.g., producing daily content or following a set trading routine).
