    My biggest game changer is when I stopped lying to myself. Cut your losses. I’ve spent months being bullish on shit I bought too high and then was stuck bag holding while lying to myself that it will go up. Cut your loss it will change the way you think. If you can’t access cash then you can’t make money. Always take profits and scale into positions. If it goes against your plans cut it leave it and come back. Most times I’ve done this I’ve come back and make almost perfect entry by letting it come to me instead of thinking you know the trend. Just my thoughts after changing my life the last few months. Great interviews btw.

    The most valuable point in Adam's sharing is his (and as a trader, in general) experience on the Path to becoming an independent trader, on how one would ride the ups and downs, and when would the trader be most vulnerable (eg. after just made a series of winning, or when trying to scale up).
    Thanks Adam for his sharing!
    And thanks Aaron for being a great host.
    Not every host has both the intelligence and patience.
    Aaron is one of the few brilliant 👏

  • @lovenpeace271
    @lovenpeace271 5 років тому +5

    One of the best things that Aaron does is not interrupt a traders thought flow and just let's its flow like water, words flow off a traders tongue. big difference between TV talking heads and Aaron's interviews

    @gmiles119 4 роки тому +17

    This guy is talking reality. I believe that if something he says causes you some discomfort, you will find he was right, if you stick around long enough. On the other hand, the things he is saying are comforting to those of us who have gone through what he says will actually happen to everyone just starting out. Well done.

    Spot on by the guest! I’m a.16 year full time trader. Took me 5 years to break even after suffering big loss in 1st year. “Learn to be a trader yourself”. Is such great advice! Thank you very much Aaron for your channel!

  • @josouk5950
    @josouk5950 6 років тому +12

    ...the first sign of success is that you stop losing money - not necessarily making money, but you stop funding your account with more deposits - once you have reached that stage, you are in the 'elite' of people who tried to learn how to trade and actually made it through the most difficult phase - so very very true !!! Great interview.

    • @donho4109
      @donho4109 4 роки тому

      This was a very good interview. I have gone through my shares of learning from the market and having an edge and controlling your risk is paramount to being a consistent & profitable trader. I wholeheartedly agree that when you stop adding/transferring money into your account to keep it going, that you have reached a milestone and have turned the corner on your equity curve. I have gone through more “boom and bust” cycles than I care to share. I have lost several fortunes (hundred of thousands) and then had to work back up from the pits of hell to do it again and again to see myself do the boom/bust cycle again. It wasn’t until I found Mark Douglas that I was able to discover my underlying issues for my repeated failures. I wish you all luck with your individual journeys in trading. Enjoy learning and discover what works for you. Take good care!

  • @justinholtgrave
    @justinholtgrave 3 роки тому +12

    I completely agree with what he said about only really needing one time frame. Only using one time frame helps prevent you from closing a trade too early during a pullback. Many times I have closed trades too early for them to go right back in my favor.
    Two time frames is perfect.
    One to find setups and one higher TF to confirm direction of long term trend.

    This guy was some real talk. Prescient timing, as I've just discovered what I think is a strategy that might be working for me and it fills me with fear that it might be a fluke, or luck or whatever. But I have no choice but to press on with it and refine and tweak it then test it over time and in different market conditions. I'm sure I'll learn lessons along the way... better than sitting and staring at charts just "wondering" what I should really be doing.

    @peterp4753 2 роки тому +1

    All you have to know is the interst rates, yields on bonds, especially 10 year bonds, relative to 200 day moving average, pick the best stocks in any sector you want to trade, use 3 technical tools in your trading and really pay attention and know when to EXIT your trade, for profit or loss BEFORE you place a trade. Be disciplined about it.
    That's it, you'll make money in the long run !!

  • @forexknowledgeacademy224
    @forexknowledgeacademy224 7 років тому +1

    An insightful interview. One of the main messages here is for traders to understand the concept of probability and have faith in your strategy if it has a statistically proven rate of more wins over losses. Strategies are not difficult to devise but very hard to trade with discipline. Finally strategies should be very simple to follow. Beware of fitting technical indicators to work with your strategy.

    @itslike123 Рік тому +1

    Good amount to start with is zero. You start demo, prove you profitable for 6 months or a year then check how much percentage you grow the account then you will find out how much money you need, start trading with real money using the same strategy you used on the demo account without deviation. That's the right answer

      @@ryuxfx52 No, not given up. I have 20 Excel sheets with backtests. It shows quite much anything should be proitable. The problem has been that you get into losing streaks of 9 losses or more after one another. So now I an adding indicators to filter out losing trades. Job almost done so I can start live trading very soon now. Then they say that it is 90 % psychology to trading. I just don't belive that. Pure lie. I have tested exactly how many pips profitable trades go over a year. How often can I expect a trade to go 200-300 pips (not very often)? What happens if I don't use a stop (quite often one would be fine. The few times it goes wrong it will just kill your account). I have tested what happens if it reaches 90 % to my target and then reverses. Will it go to stop or will it come back? I have experienced a good strategy collapsing and starting losing 90 % of the time. You just stop using that strategy or you flip it and use it the other way.
      In short. If you take trading seriously. Test, journal and review (statistics). Then I think you will be fine.
