agree Niel but, for a Swing Trader or position
but there are other categories like scalper, and daytrader making several shops each day has its discipline and are winners

Excellent article Nial, clears up a lot of the mystery of pro trading, and helps me visualise my future.
After working 6/7 day weeks for the last 15 years, I look forward to the intervals away from successful trading to do the things i want to do.

Thank You

Dear Nial,

It is so very GENEROUS and KIND of you to FREELY GIVE of yourself to help wannabee traders. Though not yet consistently profitable, your teaching has improved my results to the point where they give me the courage to believe that I too will become successful in this awe-ful and awesome business.

Best regards,
:) Marv

When you try to control the market by messing around with your trades and staring at them for hours, you are being used by the market.

I agree, very true.

Neat article Nial, definitely makes a lot of sense, so much so that I’ve bookmarked it, so I can remind myself of it each time I err on the side of overtrading.

Cheers buddy!

thax , my advice is that even scalpers who tend to be all the time on the laptop to benefit from small pips need time to relax and come in the markets when they feel are ready than suffering from all the time chart analysis palalysis.

Thanks Nial. When reading this article it’s like reading my daily routine which I have experience that this is the best way to be in a good mental set when you eat healthy food and exercise. With this I have seen an improvement in my daily analysis and trades performance over the last two months. Nonetheless, trading journal is very important aspect of keeping a record of your trades and at least go and analyse them every quarter and learn from those mistakes. I am now succeeding to become like a professional trader.

Another excellent article, thanks for taking the time to help educate people about forex. Your advice is very different from how I first imagined forex trading to be, hence the steep (but rewarding) learning curve! The set and forget routine makes forex much more enjoyable and takes much of the stress out of trading. Thanks again!

Good work nial. Overtrading has cost me a pretty penny recently. no doubt discipline is the key. i think many amateurs like myself, believe that you need to be entering a trade every day to be successful. obviously this is not the case. Keep up the good work.

Nial

What a fantastic article. I was home today, and commited the cardinal sin of meddling with a trade, ie moved my limit so took 1:1.4 RR, and 3hrs later it hit my original limit for 1:2 RR . I think I’m going to frame this article because it is so important.
Your a top guy Nial, many thanks Steve

Another article on Discipline. Nial is really doing all of us a pure service by driving home how to stay disciplined. Tough act to follow, but there is simply no other choice. God bless you, Nial.

Great Great Great article. I used to think that the pros look at the charts all day long but then I started your course and learned your PA strategies and I know better than to stare at charts all day long like I thought I should be doing when I first started trading Forex. We are all taught that you get out of something what you put into it. So The more hours and effort I put into trading should’ve meant that I will master it and make money. Actually the worse I did lol. You have to be a contrarian type thinker when it comes to the trading world and I’m seeing that now. Thanks Nial for all the wisdom.

Thanks so much,i must confess your price action strategies do work!, pls Nial is it right to study the positions of the dollar index and stock indexes before placing a trade?.

Nial , since i started your course and took your advice on only trading daily charts my losses are far fewer. as tempted as i am to look at the lower frames i stick to what you originaly taught me and being disciplined has paid off.
