Now let’s answer the GOLDEN question…

How can you get better in Forex?

You must first identify a daily target. How much do you want to make? Just make sure that you’re realistic with it. Make sure the numbers make sense based on your capital!

Let’s say you have a balance of $100 in your trading account. Realistically, your target should be $10 per day. Whatever it is, manage your expectation and always be smart.

If you have that same balance and want to grow $1,000 in a day, it can be done but the risks are incredibly high. If you’re willing to go for it and are okay with losing, then go for it.

Try to measure where you’re at based on these examples:

With a $100 account, you can target:
$10 Daily
$50 Weekly
$200 Monthly

With a $10,000 account, you can target:
$1000 Daily
$5000 Weekly
$25000 Monthly

Just remember this…

Once you hit your target, immediately stop and do something else. Don’t get caught in the greed and thirst for money. Be strategic and stick to the plan!

Manage your risks as best as possible guys. That is the only way to get on top of this. Patience and consistency will take you far!

To identify whether the SnR is strong or weak is easy. If there are a lot of retest/ rejections in the SnR zone, that means the SnR we have is strong as it marks that the price will have a hard time going through the our SnR zone.

Our SnR can be found in big time frames like 4 hours, daily, weekly or monthly. It is not wrong to look at smaller timeframes like 1 hour, 30 minutes, 15 minutes etc. Its just that smaller timeframes have a lot of noise or small movements that does not give an impact as big as the bigger timeframes.

Support & Resistance

SUPPORT is where we will find BUY because support is a level where demand is high causing the price the stop from falling.

RESISTANCE is where we will find SELL as it is a level where traders sell the currency causing the price to not go any higher from the level of resistance.

There are two types of Support and Resistance which will influence our decision to entry:

Support:
• Strong support
• Weak support

Resistance:
• Strong resistance
• Weak resistance

Support and resistance can also change if there happens to be a BREAKOUT (BO):

Support breakout = support becomes resistance (SBR)

Resistance breakout = resistance becomes support (RBS)

Getting on top of the game with good money management!

Take some time to think about it and decide which trader you are. No rush, its a work in progress!

1. Scalper Trader

In general, Scalpers always take small profits in short periods and smaller pips if compared to other traders.

Scalpers usually take profit in less than 2 hours with a pips count of around 15-30 pips

2. Intraday Trader

Intraday traders will leave their position running less than 24 hours in a day before they close or realise their profits.

Total targeted pips usually roam around 50-100 pips

3. Swing Trader

Swing traders are rare traders and more experienced as swinging one position is not an easy feat for new traders.

In executing a swing position, a trader must have a high level of patience to wait for the best setup to enter. They usually hold their positions for days, weeks, months and sometimes in a year.

Total pips targeted is usually above 100 pips!
