  • How to become a profitable trader and win at trading? There are lots of trading lessons that i'd like to share with you after trading for more than 10 years. Trading lessons i've learned from stocks, forex and gold trading.
    I've been a scalper and then a day trader and then finally to a long term trader. I've tried many trading strategies and made a lot of mistakes before i was able to learn these trading lessons the hard way.
    I hope that you'll take these trading lessons and learn it the easy way rather than the hard way so that you can win the game of trading faster and more efficiently without losing a lot of money.

      The lesson I have learned in a hard way is that I don't have to have all Forex pairs on my platform.

    just for summary
    #1 Make Sure that you're emotionally stable before you make a trade
    #2 Staring the chart all day is counter-productive
    #3 Being a defensive trader is better than being aggressive
    #4 Opening less trades will make you more profitable!
    #5 Don't buy market just because you're scared of missing out
    #6 Overconfidence Kill more accounts than fear
    #7 Discipline is EVERYTHING!
    It's all golden advice from Karen, you're really great trader 👍🏻🙏🏻

    About 2 years ago I watched one of your videos where you explained why you are a swing trader, I couldn’t understand then. Fast forward to 2 years later I am now a profitable swing trader and I can relate perfectly to everything you said. It takes a level of maturity and experience to realize that you’ll make more money by trading less. Thank you Karen, much love and respect

    Greetings from Canberra Australia, Karen. Thanks very much for your clear, simple and concise and humourous little vids! One thing I Iearned the hard way: DON'T trade the same pair TOO SOON after a losing trade to "make up" the loss; even if it doesn't feel like a revenge trade, the emotions ARE running high whether it's FOMO, anger or "wow it's going the other way after all!".....all of these cloud your judgement and get in the way of learning from the losing trade.
    I'm travelling to Singapore in late April and early May. It'd be an awesome treat to meet you, if you are doing any public talks around that time. Thanks again and cheers for now!

    I have 2 active trade and i target the TP to 1:2 which is 2% when TP hit each of trade and now even its not yet TP hit the running profit both combined is total of 2%. Do I close the trade because I already achieved my target percentage per week as well considering that today is friday and next day is weekend?? Hoping for your answer thank you!
