I will trade them all, but different approaches are required. Range-bound markets mean more reversal plays, while trending markets will include more breakout plays. Different price action requires different strategies, but I have been fortunate enough to have traded them all during the past decade. I can safely say we’ll see them all again too (uptrends, downtrends, trading ranges)!

Thanks for stopping by,

Thank you for stopping by and I’m happy to hear about the timing of this post. I really hope you find it helpful.

The learning curve can take a while, and there are phases of frustration which seem like they might never end. When that happens, I tend to do one of 3 things:
1. Take a short break (even a few days off can sometimes work wonders for clarity of mind)

2. Keep grinding (hard to know when to do #1 vs. #2, but if you sense you are nearing a breakthrough go with this one)

3. Trade smaller regardless (when things aren’t clear, lose small. You can quickly increase your trade size once your confidence and win rate improve again, but when you’re struggling it’s important to do damage control.)

You sound determined and I really like that – I’m pulling for you!
