- [How To Start Profiting With Price Action Trading Strategies](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-trading-strategies/how-to-start-profiting-with-price-action-trading-strategies) - How to Start Profiting With Price Action Trading Strategies - The concept I am going to introduce in today's lesson that will help you become a profitable price action trader is "specializing". Your new goal is to think of yourself as a "specialist" trader, and to actually become one. If you look around at most professions, it's the most specialized people that make the most money. For example, a family doctor makes a good income, but a neurosurgeon most certainly commands more money because he or she is a specialized doctor who has “mastered” the skill of performing complicated brain surgeries, amongst other things.
- [How Long Do Good Trades Take To Play Out ?](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-trading-strategies/how-long-do-good-trades-take-to-play-out) - Many people have unrealistic expectations about how long a trade will take to play out. This causes all sorts of problems for them as they trade such as exiting too soon, over-trading and taking small profits, to name a few. Despite what most people think, good trades often take a longer time to play out than they think or than they would like, often days or weeks. This is especially true for our style of higher time frame trend-trading and swing trading. The market is a slow, cumbersome beast. Today’s lesson is designed to prove this to you and to reinforce the need to hold trades for longer than you might be accustomed to or want to. Let the market do its ‘thing’ and give it room and time to move to your profit target.
- [Trading Breakouts Often Leads to Losing Trades](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-trading-strategies/trading-breakouts-often-leads-to-losing-trades) - Breakouts are tempting, in fact, most people trade in-line with the direction price is currently moving without much thought; they are reactive with a ‘herd’ mentality. Now, one might say trend following or trading with the herd / sheep is the correct strategy and in theory it often is, but when it comes to the actual trade execution there is always a higher probability area and lower probability area to enter, and trading on the break-down to new lows or on the break-up to new recent highs is often a major trap, especially for novice traders.

- [Adopting A Contrarian Trading Method](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-trading-strategies/contrarian-trading-method) - Today’s lesson is going to be about changing how you think about trading. Instead of acting on your first impulse in the market, I want you to stop and think about what’s REALLY going on… I want you to look at trading as two dimensional; somebody wins and somebody loses. When a market is moving one way, most retail traders jump on board somewhere in the middle or near the end of that move when it feels and looks the 'safest'. However, often when it's at these times when it looks 'safe' to enter, that the market is about ready to reverse. Do you ever stop to think “Who’s taking the other side of my trades?”
- [Why The Best Trading Plan Is Built Around Anticipation](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-trading-strategies/best-trading-plan-anticipation) - Professional traders do not just react to the market, they anticipate it.

- [Snowball Your Trading Success and Stop Losing Money](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-currency-trading-blog/snowball-your-trading-success-and-stop-losing-money) - Snowball Your Trading Success and Stop Losing Money - The market has been somewhat difficult to trade in recent months; many of the major currency pairs have been rather erratic and “choppy”, and until recently, very quiet. There is ONLY ONE SINGLE THING that kept the profitable trader from losing money during market conditions like these: PATIENCE. The most IMPORTANT thing that I have learned over my 10+ years trading the markets, is that patience really does pay, and what’s more, a lack of patience will make YOU pay.

However, today I am going to challenge this widespread belief and I’m going to show you that you don’t need to react to every little bar or pattern that “might” be an entry signal. Instead, you need to get “in-tune” with the overall market structure and dynamics and learn to anticipate high-probability trading scenarios…this is how you get the most money out of your time in the market.

It can be boring, embarrassing, or even emotionally painful for some traders to talk about risk and capital management, because they know they aren’t doing it right.
- [Can Forex Trading Be Taught?](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-articles/can-forex-trading-be-taught-learn-how) - Can Forex Trading Be Taught? - Many aspiring Forex traders believe they do not need any outside help when learning how to trade the Forex market. I call "an aspiring trader" anybody who is still learning to trade and has not yet been profitable at year's end. Part of the allure of trading is the independent lifestyle and freedom that it can provide for you if you are successful at it, but it takes time and knowledge to achieve this, and that knowledge needs to come from somewhere. One negative aspect of the independent attitude that trading elicits in people is the fact that many new or struggling traders believe they can effectively teach themselves how to profitably trade the Forex market (usually a huge mistake).

- [Low-Frequency Vs High-Frequency Forex Trading](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-articles/low-frequency-vs-high-frequency-forex-trading) - Why I Prefer Low-Frequency Trading Over High-Frequency Trading - Many Forex traders seem to think that by trading more frequently they are opening themselves up to more opportunity and that they will thus make more money. This is wrong; in fact, the main thing that high-frequency trading does is force you to battle against the temptation to take low-probability trade setups. The truth is that if you know what you’re trading edge is and you are 100% certain of how and when to trade it, you will find that you don’t really need or want to trade that much.
- [Stop Sabotaging Your Forex Trading](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-currency-trading-blog/stop-sabotaging-your-forex-trading) - Stop Sabotaging Your Forex Trading - Traders have a tendency to sabotage their own efforts in the market, and most of them don’t even know they are doing it.

- [The Path to Price Action Forex Trading Success; "Less Is More"](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-articles/simple-price-action-forex-strategies-lead-to-success) - The Path to Price Action Forex Trading Success; "Less Is More" - Sometimes the more we want something the harder it becomes to obtain. This is never truer than it is when applied to the world of forex trading. Many, if not most, traders approach the forex market from the mindset of, “I NEED to make money from this”, or, “I REALLY want to quit my job and become a full-time forex trader”. While these are indeed admirable and lofty goals, such thinking patterns can contribute to a cascade of psychological impediments to consistent trading results…
- [A Simple Guide To Growing Your Trading Account](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-articles/simple-guide-to-growing-your-trading-account) - Growing your trading account into something respectable can seem like quite a daunting task if you’re new to trading or struggling just to keep your account above water.

Before we get started, I just want to get "real" with you for a minute by telling you that trading is not a "get rich quick" scheme nor is there any "magic bullet" or "Holy-Grail" trading system out there. Like you, I was attracted to trading because of the financial freedom it can bring you, as well as other forms of freedom; freedom from bosses, from mundane routines and the "9-5" drone culture of going to "work" everyday.

However, in reality, measuring returns in percentages or pips is not the most effective way to track your trading performance. Every trader is different, and every trader brings with them a different set of mental variables and funds to trade with. Since this is the case, you should track your performance in terms of dollars risked vs. dollars gained (risk reward), which can ultimately be reflected in the number “R”, instead of percentages or pips.

But, the minute you enter the market with real money it seems like the whole game changes and someone changes all the rules to keep you from making money. I know it seems that way, I’ve felt like this before too, every trader goes through the same trials and tribulations while learning how to trade successfully.

In today’s article, I am going to discuss the importance of time in trading and how utilizing it properly is often the difference between success and failure in the market. The power and monetary value of simply not trading, is vastly underestimated by most traders and until you understand why you should think of time as an extremely valuable commodity, you will continue to struggle in the market.

You might already be familiar with it. There are certain ‘evils’ that we are all susceptible to as traders, and you have to deal with them, or they will deal with you. Our brains are like sponges, absorbing everything we put into them. Whilst this is obviously good in most regards, it can be detrimental to success as a trader. You’ve got to learn to filter out the unnecessary variables from your trading, because if you let your ‘sponge’ get too full, it will become over-saturated and you won’t be able to do anything with it. Specifically, you’ve got to learn that not everything you come across in the trading realm is worth thinking about, or even considering.

Most people feel a blanket of comfort from knowledge, but what if it’s the wrong knowledge?

As the trade unfolded, Ben let the trade go beyond where he normally looks to exit, ‘knowing’ that this one was going to keep going for ‘a while.’ As the trade continued in his favour, Ben felt a rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins. As the trade ticked further in his favour, he started to get giddy. Ben was ‘hooked’ now, he thought “I’ve caught a huge winner, now I’ll show them!”

Whilst it isn’t ‘easy’ to succeed at trading, it is a lot easier if you boil it down to its core components. If you do that, there are really only four pieces of the ‘puzzle’ that you need to focus on. If you’re spending time and energy focusing on anything other than these four pieces, you’re simply complicating the trading process and moving further off the path to success. In this lesson, I wanted to take a simple stripped-down look at the four most basic pillars of trading.

Gut trading feel is something that will continue to develop within you as you gain more and more experience trading the market.

- [The Great Paradox of Trading](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/blog/the-great-paradox-of-trading) - The reason why it can seem so hard to make money as a trader, is best summed up by the following paradoxical statement by Ray Dalio in the book Hedge Fund Market Wizards (Ray is the founder of Bridgewater, the world’s largest hedge fund): "In trading, you have to be both defensive and aggressive at the same time. If you are not aggressive you will not make money, and if you are not defensive you will not keep money.” It is trying to balance being aggressive enough to make money while being defensive enough to keep the money you’ve made that is the most basic problem a trader faces in the market. Today’s lesson will give you some tips on how to keep the two in balance so that you can not only improve your chances of making money in the market, but more importantly, not giving that money back to the market.

- [My Thoughts on Correct Trading Money Management](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-articles/correct-trading-money-management) - I’ve written a few articles on the topic of trading money management and the main idea I try to convey is that it’s arbitrary for someone to trade a percentage of their trading account. There are many factors affecting how any one trader should manage his or her money in the market; net worth, personal trading skill and confidence, risk tolerance, etc., the point is that every trader is different and has different circumstances that dictate the best way for them to manage their money.
- [Trading Success Begins with Mindset](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/blog/trading-success-begins-with-mindset) - It doesn’t matter how much money you have, it doesn’t matter how good of a technical analyst you are, and it doesn’t matter how much you ‘think’ you know about trading, if you don’t have the right mindset, you will never make money in the market.
- [How Long Does it Take to Become a Profitable Trader?](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-become-a-profitable-trader) - One of the most common questions that I receive on the email support line from beginning traders is “How long does it take to become a profitable trader?” Whilst this is a very normal and obvious question to ask at the beginning stages of your trading career, from the view of an experienced trader it reflects the need for more knowledge and training.
- [Why Didn’t I Take That Trade ! ?](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-articles/why-didnt-i-take-trade-that-i-knew-it-would-work) - Why Didn’t I Take That Trade ! ? - After completing our courses and tutorials, most traders have no problem reading the charts, and they can typically find good trades quite easily. However, there seems to be a big gap between being able to find good trades and being able to pull the trigger on them. The number one thing I find from talking to many beginning and frustrated traders is that they have a problem with simply executing the trade, not in finding it.
- [10 Reasons Traders Fail to Make Money Trading](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/blog/10-reasons-traders-fail-to-make-money-trading) - We have all heard the cliché statistic that something like 80 to 90% of traders don’t make money. So, you basically have two choices; give up your dream of being free from work jobs and the drudgery of modern 9 to 5 society, or try to understand why most people fail at trading and work to make sure you are in the top 10 to 20% of traders who actually make money.
- [Why You Should Have a Favorite Market to Trade](https://www.learntotradethemarket.com/blog/why-you-should-have-a-favorite-market-to-trade) - Having one market that you're a Jedi Master of, can help you become more of a specialist, and specialists are people who make the most money in life (think surgeons, lawyers, pro athletes etc.) You don't have to only trade one market, but I recommend focusing on a small handful of markets and having one of those that is your favorite. For example, for me, since I live in Australia, my favorite currency pair is the AUDUSD. I am more familiar with what moves it and how it moves than other pairs since I am of course more familiar with my home country and its inner workings. Someone living in the UK may favor the GBPUSD for example, for obvious reasons.
