Hey Traders in this Forex Faction podcast I go over my month of trading  in January and how I gave myself an objective grade. Understanding that  mistakes will always happen in trading no matter how perfect we want to  trade out Forex strategy. This week I made a few mistakes that made a C  trader. So even though overall I was net positive ROI on the month that  was not as important as giving myself a good trade for executing my plan  perfectly. My mentor always told me mistakes will happen and its  your job as a trader to improve next month and then the month after  that. Mistakes will happen and now next month it is my job as a trader  to make One less mistake then this month. Improvement slowly over time.

As always feel free to reach out to me below and give me some feedback!

Hey Traders in this podcast I am talking about how hard it can be to be  and stay disciplined in trading. This is even if you have a plan and the  frustrations that can sometimes arise. I went over an example that  happened to me this morning on a trade I barely missed entries on which  would have been a winner but how it was a GOOD Non Trade. The reason for  this is because it was not apart of my plan. Being a disciplined trader  will test you but we do it for a reason. Looking closer at today's  example I took solace in knowing that this trade as frustrating as it  may have been did not give me a valid entry so we move on the next one.  Hopefully you guys get value out of this Forex Podcast I put out weekly.

Hey traders in this weeks Forex podcast I am going to go over a common  mistake a lot of newer Forex Traders make when first starting in having  the belief that in order to make more money you need to trade MORE. Yes  frequency is important in Trading Forex but it is not everything. We  need to be mindful in understanding that not all setups are made equal  and some are a higher quality then others. This was made evident to me  when I finished backtesting USDJPY and realized I could cut out half my  trades and still be just as profitable in my Forex Trading over a 12  year sample. I talk a bit more about this in this weeks podcast.

Hey traders in this weeks Forex podcast I am talking about some of the  frustrations that can arise with setting rules in your Forex Trading.  This can occur because in trading Forex or trading in general we are  applying rules to a market that doesn't have to listen or abide by our  rules. Our best option at that point is to be consistent with the rules  we do set and understand that not everything will work perfectly in to  those rules in the market.

What sparked this podcast was a Q&A from my mentor Akil Stokes that  watched today in which he said something that really stuck in my head.  As traders we focus so much on the Forex strategy in the beginning when  we begin to learn Forex Trading. We don't focus on what is actually more  important and what all your profits are based off of and that is the  Forex Trader. There are many Forex Trading Strategies out there for  traders to learn  but instead we should be focusing on learning the  SKILL of trading because market condition change over time. When this  happens whether you are profitable in the future will be dependent on  the Traders skill and not the strategy.

In this podcast I wanted to go over having the mindset when it comes to  you Forex Backtesting. What I mean by this is when backtesting our  strategies we should actively and purposefully looking for losers and  trying to prove our strategies wrong. Why we do this in our Backtesting  Forex is because if we can purposely try to show something is not  profitable and at the end our results show it is then that means you  have truly found a strategy you can input in your Forex Trading. I delve  deeper into this in the podcast.

In this podcast I wanted to go over One Forex Trading Skill that I think  is important for us to continuously be working on that I found to be  very important to me from going live this past year. Too often traders  focus on Forex Trading Strategies instead of what is really important  and that is our skills of reading price and making good PREDICTIONS.  Making good predictions is something that is often overlooked but if I  think for beginners and even experienced traders its something we should  continuously be trying to improve.
