What do you think of the sentence "The initial trading habit of human beings is not trend trading, but buying bottoms and finding highs"?
"Buying the bottom and finding the high" and "following the trend" are two parallel trading ideas. In real life, 90% of people like to choose "buying the bottom and finding the high", and the remaining 10% have also undergone a lot of training and thinking. After correction, you will choose to "follow the trend". Why do we naturally like to "buy the bottom and touch the high"?
"What's your morning routine like?
My morning routine is really important to me. I feel much calmer when I follow it compared to just waking up and going straight to work.Here's what I do:- From 7 to 7:30 AM, I wake up, tidy up my place a bit.- At 8 AM, I take a shower and get ready.- Around 8:15 AM, I read my positive affirmations and gratitude list.- Then, at 8:30 AM, I check the stock market and make a plan for the day.- At 9 AM, I meditate for 10-20 minutes.- By 9:30 AM, I start trading.How about your morning routine?"
Can retail investors make money by imitating the single-handling methods of large institutions?
I found that our retail investors like to fight against big institutions when doing transactions. Why is this? Since it is a large institution, it is generally profitable, so can we still make money by imitating their single-handling methods?Recently, I heard about an institutional order area strategy. As long as you have the ability to identify and discover the order area of an institution, by identifying the trading methods of banks and large institutions, you can follow their footsteps to make money. It sounds reasonable, do you think it is reliable?
Which is of greater significance and simplicity for you: a High Risk-Reward Ratio (RR) or a High Win Rate?
For me, achieving a high Risk-Reward Ratio takes a considerable amount of time and necessitates a lot of patience. It's led to instances where I've experienced substantial losses. This has led me to contemplate whether lowering my RR might result in a significantly improved win rate. What's your experience with this? I'm curious to hear your thoughts.Looking forward to your responses! 🙏🏼
