TIME: The Single Most Overlooked Component Of Trading

Nearly all of the best trades I’ve personally taken or that I’ve seen our members take, took a lot longer to play out than any of us originally expected or perhaps wanted. However, the fact of the matter is that what we want and expect to happen is typically not what the market has in store.

Pick The ‘Perfect’ Trade Entry Point For Lower Risk & Higher Reward

Nial Fuller — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 13:28:34 +0000

The ideal trade entry is one that allows for good stop loss placement and a substantial risk:reward potential. Easier said than done, right? Well, maybe not.

There are essentially three process or pieces of the “puzzle” to finding the ideal trade entry. Here, in a nutshell, is what I do every time I am looking for a new trade entry, this is how I think and what I look for:

For us price action traders, learning to read the footprint of money on the chart means we can trade and return a profit on virtually any market we want.

By analyzing and following the footprint left behind as the price action develops over time, we can read what is happening on a chart, what has happened and what might happen next.

Before You Place Your Next Trade, Ask Yourself These 10 Questions

Nial Fuller — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 07:48:01 +0000

A commercial airline pilot goes through an extensive pre-flight checklist to avoid any problems once that jumbo-jet gets it airborne. Similarly, you must go through a trading checklist before you get ‘airborne’ and enter a live trade. But, how often do you sit down in front of your computer, open your trading platform and begin searching for trades without going through any type of checklist to make sure you’re doing things right? For most traders, this is how they operate all the time and it’s a big reason they don’t make money.

Why Trading Against the Trend Will Destroy Your Account

Nial Fuller — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 12:00:40 +0000

Simply put, the easiest way to make money as a trader or investor, is trading with the dominant daily chart trend. However, during my time teaching people how to trade, I have found that it almost seems to be human nature to want to trade against the trend, at least in the early-stages of one’s trading journey. So, I hope today’s lesson will help you avoid making this gigantic mistake that so many beginning traders make, by showing you tangible proof of why the trend is definitely your friend and why you should not trade against it most of the time.

Let The Market Take You Out Of Your Trade

What is the single biggest reason traders struggle to make money in the markets? Do you think it’s lack of knowledge or trading skill? Not enough money in their accounts, poor risk management or the wrong trading mindset? Whilst these are all issues that negatively affect traders, in my opinion, the single biggest reason most traders don’t succeed, is self-sabotage.

The Power of The Pull Back Trading Strategy

Nial Fuller — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 09:54:13 +0000

Trading is easy, but people make it hard. I know this because, just like you are probably doing, I used to make trading very hard on myself. When I first started trading about 15 years ago, it felt like I was constantly on the wrong side of the market. As soon as I entered a position, it was as if someone was inside my computer, waiting to push price in the other direction. I literally felt like someone was ‘trading against me’ and trying to take my money.

Trade Like a Contrarian, Do the Opposite of The Herd

Have you ever been so convinced that a market was about to breakout to a new high or low that you truly felt like it was a ‘sure bet’, only to then see price briefly breakout and then rocket back in the opposite direction? Whilst you cannot predict the market’s behavior with 100% accuracy, you can change the way you think about it and learn to interpret it better, so that you begin to trade less like the ‘herd’ and more like a contrarian.

Watching Charts Intraday Will Harm Your Trading Results

Nial Fuller — Mon, 20 Jun 2016 09:12:59 +0000

The single most significant and EASIEST way to tilt the scales of success in your favor, is by simply not watching intraday charts. Time and time again, I have seen traders fail because they are so hyper-focused on short time frames. There are many misconceptions about intraday charts that lead traders to believe watching them provides some type of advantage. In reality, especially to a beginning or amateur trader, watching intraday charts does nothing but impede their progress and decrease their chances of even surviving, let alone thriving in the market.

Why The Best Trades Are SO Hard To Pull The Trigger On

Nial Fuller — Wed, 08 Jun 2016 11:45:28 +0000

Does the following trading scenario sound familiar to you?...

A market has broken up through a level and starts trending aggressively, starting to gain a lot of momentum. Then all the sudden, you see the market rotate back to a good solid level and then a nice price action signal forms at that level and in-line with trend. However, rather than taking quick action and setting up the trade, you just stare at it blankly, like a deer caught in the headlights, unable to take action.

Trading Price Action With or Without Confirmation: You Decide

As a price action trader, we basically have two ways to trade; with or without a ‘confirmation’ signal.

How Simple Maths Can Increase Your Average Profit Per Trade 10-Fold

You've probably read trading articles that talk about how your "winners need to be greater than your losers", it's used so much that it's become cliché. It is NOT as simple as having a series of trades and just keeping your risk at 1r and your average profit objective of 2r, that is never going to be the case in real world trading. There are several situations where maths is applied to trades I personally take that can dramatically increase the risk-reward, which increases the overall risk-reward across a large sample of trades.

5 Common Mistakes When Trading The Pin Bar Strategy

The pin bar is perhaps the most powerful price action signal that has ever existed.
