You've heard the saying, "It never rains, but it pours." The same happens in trading. Let me explain what I mean right now.

Hey traders, Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 433.

Common phrases and trading Forex

I want to talk about a couple of analogies you may have heard of. You've heard the phrase, "It never rains, but it pours." You've heard the phrase, "May hay while the sun shines." They are exactly applicable when it comes to trading. What I mean by that is you have to wait for the right trading conditions. Now as traders sometimes that can be our downfall, and it's a big mistake that so many people make and fall into that trap.

Trading becomes boring, and you make mistakes

You see when you're not trading it's pretty much boring. You're not doing anything, and the issue then becomes is you start breaking your rules. You start forcing things to happen that you should really do. You start taking B-grade set ups, simply because you want to take something. It's very hard to force yourself not to do that. But if you can get yourself to trade the conditions of when the high quality trade setups show, you will without doubt do so much better from your trading.

2 perfect examples from this week’s trading

Now just this week, I've got two perfect examples to share with you. So last night, Thursday night my time, I held our live weekly client's webinar; a two hour live session where we trade live. I trade the European session. The following week Paul Tillman trades the US session and then back to the European session with me the week after. So last night, not a lot happened for the first hour and 50 minutes. Now we were covering previous trades, we were discussing trades that a few people had open and some very good trades. We were showing some good weekly and monthly chart trades. We had lots happening, but nothing really was going on live in the market.

Then leading up to the end of the session where we look at the 12 hour and six hour and four hour and two hour charts, we took one six hour chart trade and three on the 12 hour. Two of those hit profit already, and two are still open and in excellent profit. So nothing happened in terms of live real trades in the market for almost all of that session until then end, and then there was lots happening.

This week’s Daily trades

This week on the daily charts, we've had the same thing. Up until Thursdays, from Monday to Thursday, we posted just one trade. Now, most days we trade between about one and three daily charts. But up until Thursday, for four days of this week, we posted just one trade on the dailies. We had a really good weekly chart trade that hit profit, but only one trade on the daily charts. That was on oil as well. So we've had no Forex pairs for the first four days of this week. Today, Friday, we are the 22nd of October. We have posted 11 trades on the daily charts; one on Bitcoin as a crypto trade, as a sell, and 10 Forex pairs.

Just be patient and wait for the setups

So the point being is just be patient. Just wait for the setups. The setups will come, it's just you don't know when. So that's why you have to be patient. If the trades are not there, don't force anything, don't take anything. Likewise today,
