Last two weeks, I almost lost all trades. Then I decided to reflect on myself. After watching your videos, I found out the reason for losing streak. I solely focused on a passing prop firm challenge and making money on my small account. I heavily concentrated on the outcome not the process. Making profit clouded my judgement and I was not an objective trader. Therefore I did not see the market clearly and price action. But now I believe that I am on the right track. Thank you man.
That's a very big realization, Bill. Once you've done this - there's no way back. It's time to become a new person and start focusing on the Process. Well done for becoming aware of this. You are definitely on the right path, you just have to stay disciplined to it and train yourself and your mind to maintain that focus on the process. You've got it!
I always heard or read about that traders should have a Trading Journal but my problem is i don't know how to do it. What i mean is to make a correct or effective journaling. Hope you can post a video in the future as our guide.
I don't have enough words to express how much your videos help me. You are such a star, a selfless soul for imparting knowledge about these things which honestly almost NO ONE talks about. Thank you for your invaluable insights, and for being kind enough to share them with aspiring traders. You cannot imagine how vastly helpful they are. Please, keep it up! Love you so much, Iliya!!
Thank you for filling my heart! Comments like this keep me pushing, as it shows me that there's appreciation for the realness that I try to preach. All I do is share my geniuine learnings, as I know that's what everybody goes through. So, I give you Kudos for acutally listening and opening your mind to those things, because many traders only look for new strategies and the next shiny concept. Thank you for the support once again and hope to keep hearing from you!
I started trading with live account without knowing any knowledge, but it helps me alot and learned alot of things. It's been almost 2 years and I do setup by myself from my experiences and it's quite simple without any indicator, eventually most of time that i've made mistakes is trying to trade everyday 😂
There you go! The best teacher is the market. It contains all the information you need, you just need to spend time with it and look deep enough. And yeah - what you have is the overtrading problem that's very easily fixed hahaha! I'll make a vid on it as well. Keep it up brother!
Your last two psychology videos has been top notch , it has been validating my the conclusions i have recently come up with. i have started implementing this into my trading. But i still do backtest and journal it. Recording my thought process
It's really a game changer to be path of fanatics, honestly brother pls a video on fundamentals and how to read the calendar correctly🙏💯❤️❤️ thank you so much sir illiya
Careful people watched your video carefully, it helped me a lot, it's a psychological impact, more valuable than any video about technology, I watched the subtitles, no sound, and read every word very very carefully! Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for! I wish you better and better!
You are very welcome and thank you so much for the feedback. You said it well about the "careful people". In the end - the difference between profitability and the lack of it is psychology, mindset and of course doing the right work. Thank you once again and good luck with taking action! Keep me updated.
Man i really wish i could like this video an hundred times or even a million times,even though i can't do so in reality, it's just my way of saying how well i love and cherish it a million times,thanks for this video iliya,it's the best self evaluation video out there,my best part of the vid is that only the game can teach you the game,love it man and please 🥺 feel free to continually post more of your invaluable videos iliya
Iliya your that person that really change not even my trading but my entire life i really love u guy❤ And iliya pls we need some lecture on fundamentals and how to read economic calendar.thank u
I have dought in my strategy after watching your videos and applying your knowledge ( the consistency and journaling etc ) after that I fall in love with my strategy and now I have the discipline that two three trades can't affect my psycology to change the system. GOOD CONTENT ❤KEEP it up ❤
When I started of I was listening to everyone but once I got your channel 😂😂 shit changed man that course that you have on your channel helped me understand the market better I watch your weekly analasys to understand what you teach
Thank you so much for this video. I have been struggling in that endless learning cycle watching different videos on UA-cam tube trying to get the most perfect strategy i should use. I'm now overwhelmed by to much informations which is my reason to not being profitable. From this Video I am going to go live applying the simplest of what i have absorbed. Cause i realized there is nothing new on UA-cam. It's all a repetitive confusing information on what existed since centuries ago. None on UA-cam created the Market structure. Thank you so much for liberating me from the stressful confusion, thank you for your Golden Heart, you're the only one mentor who can share that truth. Thank you for that selfless heart. I can't thank you enough. I will recommend your Name to all that aspire becoming Trader. May God bless you so much.
Another fantastic video. I think it was the video before this where you said that when you look at the market and that bell sound goes "ping" in your head those are the trades you should be taking. If I look at the market and don't see it straight away I don't even bother looking for a trade I wait for another day. I like the trades that just shout at me so to speak where it all just lines up. They are few and far between but well worth the wait. Thank you for all your advise we all appreciate it
Brother, that is a very key mind state to be in, believe me. The discipline to see that there's nothing in the market and walk away is what not a lot of traders have. So - Kudos for you! That's your big step to consistency and taking only the best setups, so you end up stacking money at the end and not covering for stupid losses. Well done!
valuable content....you can only get good at the game by playing the game, just making a whole lot of sense...game time is crucial, you got to be in it, to experience it, thanks bro😎
Absolutely my man, very well said! I don't want to discredit backtesting and doing those other exercises, but it's personally kept me in that tiring loop for a very long time. So as you say - the game time is crucial, that's where you learn!
Thank you! Honestly, I didn't do any homework haha. I just share what I've been through and how I solved it. We all go through these things, that's why it resonates with all traders.
Thank you bro! That's true, yes. But what I meant is finding the "fine tunings" of a strategy. Those very little things, the smallest details, that can make a very big difference in results.
Glad to hear this brother. And again - take it seriously and dedicate yourself to it. Remember, just live trading doesn't work. You also have to journal, reflect, analyze your trades, make changes and learn as you go. Good luck!
What tool do you use for journal? I always journal a bit, then I slack a bit with it. Don't understand why it is so hard. I've tried writing paper, excel, recordings.. 😂
That's right. Because nowadays, you might say that SMC or ICT is your strategy. So you always think that you can learn something from UA-cam on "your strategy", just because it's ICT/SMC. Yet, all the people you learn from trade differently and look at those concepts in a different way. So all you get is confusion. Pick a mentor, learn from him and then just go solo in the market mastering what you learned, without watching any "additional learnings" from UA-cam.
i am a beginner new to forex and you are saying babypips doesn’t work so should i study babypips or not i am not against your mindset you are right i am just asking i am new to forex should i need to study babypips to start trading
As a beginner, all the knowledge you obtain is useful. I'd definitely recommend babypips, because it will teach you the absolute basics you have to know. And then once you are done with it, then it's time to get into more advanced and structured content with strategies. Because babypips won't teach you a strategy, but just give you lots of details.
Risk is calculated based on your Account Size. Here's a VERY old video I have on the topic, which is a good starting point. ua-cam.com/video/gDAU4TnWVy0/v-deo.html
If you don't backtest, how do you know your strategy has an edge? I also have noticed that after backtesting 50+ rule based "youtube strategies" none of them have good edge or are close to break even after fees. It's super hard to find something with an edge.
And that's why you will never find your edge - because you keep backtesting youtube strategies, instead of going live in the market and learning from its feedback Backtesting will never help in finding edge. True Edge is your experience from the live markets. Learning from losses. Learning from different market conditions. You will NOT find your edge on UA-cam. I teach my private students my edge and provide them with a framework, BUT then I forbid them to backtest and make them go live and start documenting batches of 20 live trades, and then going back to review and reflect on them. When they get to 40-60 executed trades - they have already found their edge and start being profitable.
@@TradingFanatic So it's not hard IF THEN rule based setup but execution changes depending what market conditions are and what your experience says? Discretionary trading?
@@taunok.2960 If trading could be IF THEN and 100% mechanical, people would be millionaires running robots. Meanwhile. trading bots are known to always end up blowing up. Maybe there are some strategies and bots who are consistent, who knows :D Trading is usually 80% mechanical, which is your overall strategy framework and your market paradigm (how you view and analyze the market). And 20% is intuition, which is simply experience with your strategy. And that 20% is eventually what makes you really profitable. But in order to build those 20%, you have to spend 6-12 month with your strategy, refine it, learn from it, learn from market conditions and keep improving.
hey brother you have experience i was on same path has you first scammed and got scammed started to learn but I have doubts right now I cant afford a mentor but I have brought a challenge I throwed my back testing help me I have some doubts
Sir i started learning trading since 2 years and i started real trades within 1 year but actually im not profitable yet sir i literally learn each and every thing about the markets but everytime i end up losing the money Can u pls tell me what am i doing wrong ?
Did you even watch this video fully brother? And my last 2 ones. I literally tell you why you have this problem and how to solve it with action steps. So, watch this one on the previous 2.
@@TradingFanatic sir I have watched all of your videos but the problem is whenever I take trade market hit my sl and move in my direction how to avoid this
@@TradingFanatic and I'm trading with discipline taking the loss not over trading I have risk management everything is good but even though I end up losing the trade
Either you don't have a working strategy or you are just taking normal losses. Are you analyizing your losses and learning from them? Why do you have an expectation that if you know literally everything about the market, you have to take a trade and win it? What's wrong with losing a trade?

Thank you bro! That's true, yes. But what I meant is finding the "fine tunings" of a strategy. Those very little things, the smallest details, that can make a very big difference in results.
You really add to my knowledge
And I promise that I stop backtesting now I will start live on Monday

Glat to hear Kenny!
i want to ask this, please is ok to just focus on 2 or 3 symbols?
It's a lot better than focusing on 10. The less, the better.

Risk is calculated based on your Account Size. Here's a VERY old video I have on the topic, which is a good starting point. ua-cam.com/video/gDAU4TnWVy0/v-deo.html
Iliyah, I have a suggestion, can you do a video about DXY(US index) and how to use it to trade…
For sure! Writing that down.
