Andrew Mitchem Hi! Everybody. Andrew here at the Forex Trading Coach, welcome along to this week's weekly video and podcast. Something different for you this week. I am joined by Saul who's the manager of the firm called the 5%ers. Welcome along. Saul Lokier Yeah, thank you, Andrew. Thanks for having me. There’s a lot of interest in prop firms right now. Andrew Mitchem Awesome to have you here! Yeah. Look, we’re getting a lot of people interested in prop firms. Now, I know you guys have been around since 2016, and I can see on your website, which is probably one of the oldest prop firms around. Could you just give everybody a bit of an overview of what you do, what a prop firm is for those who don't know and how traders can take advantage of using a prop from. Saul Lokier Yeah, good start. So basically we are recruiting. We're looking for traders, retail traders to get evaluated by us, you know, through our challenges, through our evaluation programs. And once they complete those challenges to come and start managing our capital. So you might be familiar with the old prop firms in which, you know, you have a few amount of traders managing very large amount of accounts of money. Andrew Mitchem Yes. Saul Lokier So we're doing something similar. But instead of giving, you know, billions of dollars for management to a few traders, we have many, many traders. We have literally thousands of traders managing relatively small accounts. So so that's the idea. What makes a trader a successful prop firm trader Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Nice. And over those that time, what have you found is the right type of person to be more successful. Like, is it a trading style? Is it a money management thing? Is a mindset thing. What in general would sort of make the more successful person? Saul Lokier It's the view that you answer me because, you know, back in the day before started managing the company, I, I used to spend a lot of time talking to our traders and talking to our higher funded traders. And I started doing a little bit of research what this traders had in common, because, you know, I saw some of them use indicators and some of the used some of them used to live in Australia and some of them live in the US. Saul Lokier So I wanted to understand what they were doing, you know, the same way. And amazing is very simple things that arbitrated and start doing. But these traders really do it. Okay, so the first thing is these traders master what they do. These traders know the strategies inside out. So I could ask them. “Andrew, what’s a poor quality set up for you?” and they could tell me I could ask them, when shouldn't you be trading? Saul Lokier And they could answer. So they knew all the rules, all the, you know, all the parameters over the strategy, everything. And so so they really instead of jumping from a strategy to strategy or system to system, they really must, you know, what they did. So that's number one. Saul Lokier The second is they they keep track. They really you know, they backtested, they they they journal what they do the journal these sales, they they journal their trades and they you know,

Good trading does not need to be complicated. Don't forget, the wheel is simply round and it works. So let's talk about that and more right now. Hey, there traders! Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex trading Coach with video and podcast number 528. Don’t make trading harder than it needs to be. I want to talk about a topic that a lot of people get stuck in their minds and they think that trading needs to be overcomplicated. They think it needs to be difficult and they get this, I suppose, perception by thinking that like it's something only the pros do or it's something you need to be in a 50 story, you know, tower block in London or Dubai or New York or something, and you need to walk around in a big flash suit and shirt and tie in order to be a good trader. And so I think people get the impression that you need all these complicated systems and algorithms and things going on and insider knowledge of what's happening in order to do well at trading. And the reality is you don't need any of that to do well at trading. You need a simple and solid strategy. Well, you need a good, simple, solid strategy that works. And like most simple things, they work. Again, like I said, think of the wheel. Don't reinvent the wheel. It's round. It's simple. It cannot be more any more simple. And it works. You know. Other examples. I love cooking. So what's my favorite medium to cook on? You know, you can have all your electrics and gases and all the rest of it. Fire is with that that the best in terms of enjoyment and certainly taste and flavor. You know to cook on fire and charcoal. Nothing beats it. And why? Because it works. And why? Because it's simple. Trading is exactly the same. The 3 things that can happen in the market. Now, putting it in absolute basics. What can happen in the market? In any currency pair, any market, It's going to go up. It's going to go down. It might go a bit sideways, a bit rangebound. That's really all that can happen. So the market's going sideways. Okay. Rangebound generally for the way I trade means there's no trades there because I'm looking predominately at candle pattern and that's my initial set up is the candle. If it's rangebound, there's nothing, you know, there's no prior indecision. It's just going flat. It's not over bought. It’s not oversold. it's got a trend line break. So therefore no trade. Very easy just to move on to the next market. The 2 basic patterns we trade. And so we look at two quite basic and quite simple patterns, and we look for continuation patterns and we look for reversal patterns. And so those two are really when it comes down to it, all we teach and all we trade and it's all we've ever taught and traded because they work, because they're simple, they're easy to identify. Now when I go through and look at trades that have been successful and I go through our forum site, I go through our webinars. I go to our daily trades and I analyze my trades and I go back and look at the trades that have been really good. They pretty much all take all the boxes of what we're looking for a successful trade. Trading is a probability, not a guarantee. So trading is not a guarantee, it's a probability just because the patterns worked for the last five times and you see it again,

How a Client Made a 7:1 Reward:Risk Trade in under 1 Hour  Podcast: Signup For my Forex Masterclass Find out more about Blueberry Markets – Click Here Find out more about my Online Video Forex Course Book a Call with Andrew or one of his team now #527: How a Client Made a 7:1 Reward:Risk Trade in under 1 Hour In this video: 00:30 – A great trade on the NZD/CAD H4 chart. 01:29 – The trade made an incredible 7:1 R:R. 03:05 – 2:3 R:R on the USD/CHF. 03:35 – Clients passing Prop firm challenges. 03:50 – Get onto my trading Masterclass. 04:07 - Chat with us 04:14 – Open a trading account with Blueberry Markets. We've had a client make a massive 7 to 1 reward to risk ratio trade in under one hour while we were on a live webinar. Let me explain more and how you can do exactly the same. Right now. Hey there, Traders! This is Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach. With video and podcast number 527. A great trade on the NZD/CAD H4 chart. Now, just earlier this morning I was on a live for us session webinar with our clients and during that session someone already had opened a four hour chat trade on the New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar, and it's a buy trade and it was going really quite well. But at the time we were talking, the price had retrace down to the entry level because we were taking a buy limit and actually going further down towards the stop loss level. However, the stop loss on that trade on the New Zealand Canadian dollar was below the round number of 82, 0.82. And while we were talking, a number of other clients said, Hey Andrew, look, because we've got that stop loss protection, can I jump in at the market right now? And I said, Yeah, of course you can, because the trade still valid. The stop loss was holding. We'd had previous resistance levels and now we come down and we were using that 82 as a support level. And I said, Yeah, jump into the trade. And so a number of people did. The trade made an incredible 7:1 R:R. Now, within under one hour we had clients saying that they closed out of the trade, it hit the profit target before we finished the webinar and it made an incredible 7 to 1 reward to risk on that trade. So if you use my my suggested level of half of 1% risk of your account per trade, that meant that those clients made a massive 3.5%, three and a half percent gain on their account in under one hour just by being on the webinar. So what does that mean? Well, first of all, we are identifying high quality trades and we're discussing them. We're talking about them. We're saying the reasons why we're taking the trade or why we're not taking the trade. And so for me, the quality of that life in discussion cannot be underestimated. It's something you just will not get by yourself or if you on some forum site somewhere and no one really knows what it is that you're trading. We are all trading the same system, looking at the same charts at the same time, all with the common goal of helping each other. So that to me is absolutely incredible. And you cannot underestimate how valuable that is for anybody, regardless of your trading experience. If you're a brand new to trading, it's going to be incredibly valuable. But if you've been trading for a while and just to jump on once a week or every couple of weeks and just view what we're doing in real time and discuss that, that is absolute gold. And, you know, it's just shows with the returns that we made. 2:3 R:R on the USD/CHF. I also took a trade on the four hour chart on the US Swiss franc, which made a 2.3 to 1 reward to risk not quite as high as the massive 7 to 1, but that was more random, normal reward to risk levels that we get. I've also taken some trades on the 4 hours and 8 hours that are still open behind me right now, but just goes to show what happens when you build yourself a community like minded people all around the world. And so that's how we can help you to achieve your trading goal...

I'm going to explain why a slow and steady trading approach is your best chance of success to be a full time forex trader or prop firm trader? Let's get into that and more right now. Hey there, traders. It's Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of the Forex Trading Coach. With Video and podcast number 526. Why a slow & steady trading style is best. Now I want to talk about a slow and steady approach to trading You see in life right now everybody's fast pace wants action, wants instant results. Everything's available on your phone. No one can wait any longer. Everybody wants things now. Now, now, now. All the time. And the danger with that is that when it comes to the reality of trading, well. Most people, unfortunately, take that same approach. They want to be a multimillionaire next week. They want to pass a firm challenge within two days. They want to you know, how much do I need, Andrew, in order to give up my job and make $10,000 a month? You know, everybody always wants that that instant result and answer without doing the prior work. My background really helps. Now, I'm quite fortunate in many ways. One, I'm a little bit older. But two, I come from a farming background, and I think that has been a massive help for my own trading because you realize in farming that consistently doing things properly and planning and a slow and steady approach whilst always having an eye on the future and never being stuck in your ways is a really good way of farming successfully. You have to turn up, You have to do things consistently as a dairy farmer. You have to milk the cash twice a day. You know, you have to be planting crops at the right time. You have to be doing things. It doesn't matter whether it's raining or it's Christmas Day or your birthday or you're not feeling well, you have to show up. And so that consistency is is absolutely vital, I believe, to success. And as a trader, that consistency of constantly showing up is also vital as well. Karate & Flying. Now, other things that have helped me personally and I hope can help you. I've studied karate for many years and again, that slow, steady, consistent, repeatable approach is what gets you from being a white belt through to a black belt. You're not going to get there instantly. You're not going to go and watch a whole heap of videos and suddenly, wham, next week you're a black belt. That doesn't happen. It's that consistency, that hard work, that dedication. As many of you know, I also own and fly helicopter. The same thing applies. You cannot go out there and do like five lessons and suddenly go and fly one of the most difficult machines on the planet, the race to fly, you know. So you have to be slow, steady, consistent, show up, do the hard work, and then the rewards follow. Raising a large family. And you also may know we've got five children. So same thing. You know, a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication, a lot of consistency through bringing up five children. And now more recently, I'm learning to play the guitar exactly the same thing. I cannot go and stand on stage within 5 minutes. You know, you have to learn the whole basics and get better and better and more practice and you learn to go up and then you have a few down days or weeks and then you go another level again. So that consistency turning up. So whatever we do in life,

Let me talk about that and more and show you how he did it. Right now. Hey, traders, Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Couch for a video on podcast number 525. Jae has taken 3 months from new to trading on a prop firm. That's right! I want to talk about a client of ours called Jae. Now Jae joined us on the 2nd of August this year 2023. Today is the 3rd of November as I'm recording this, have a chat with Jae last night. So exactly three months since he joined and three months ago Jae had never traded. He never got into trading. He knew nothing about it. It does a bit of research, but he never even traded on demo. He joined us three months ago and over those three months he's put a lot of time, effort, dedication into learning the strategy, asking questions, turning up on webinars. If he can't turn up live. He's been watching replays, he's been going through previous webinars, the forums sides following our daily trades and taking trades by himself and communicating this trade so he's learning from them. Making mistakes like every new trader does. Now being new to trading. Jae's made mistakes. Of course he has, and one of the interesting things that he said to me last night on our conversation on the Zoom call was he said, You know, Andrew, every time I've deviated away from your rules, I've had losing trades and I've gone back in of analyze that and I realize I've made mistakes and I've changed things and then I've gone back and stuck to rules and taken trades that are in line with what we teach and how we trade. And guess what? The results have come back right again. And it's a journey. And as a path that everybody goes through, you know, from trading one minute charts, staying up all day and night through to, you know, finally figuring out that if you stick to a strategy, stick to and you know, the of can do everything that we talk about week after week after week, the strategy does work and the results will therefore follow. Ready to trade on a prop firm So fast forward after only three months. It's hardly a fast forward, is it? But the reality is that we were then talking last night about how Jae can get onto prop firms, which wants to consider using a virtual server trading only on you one like made a candle of yourself and having your trades copied automatically to a prop firm or multiple prop firms, which is Jae's Jae sort of journey that he's looking at going on. And so what I asked him and what I'm going to do for you is I've said to him, Look, what I'd love to do is come back in a couple of months and do a live zoom conversation and record that and share that with you so that I can then track Jae's progress. So now we've gone from absolute beginner to now I'm ready to get onto a prop firm, so I want to give him a few months to get into prop them, open an account, maybe two or three by then, and track his progress and have a conversation with him with an update. So I think by doing that, you'll be able to see how someone who's put that effort in has gone along really quite fast and made massive progress. So that shows me that anybody can do this. I know that. But now I'm having conversations with people who are proving ...

Today, we're going to delve into that question that has annoyed many a forex trader. So let's get into that and talk about it and more. Right now. Hey, everybody! Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 524. Do you keep getting stopped out? Now, are you getting stopped at all of the time? It's a frustrating experience. You've done your analysis, you place your trades you set your stop loss only to find that the market momentarily dips far enough to hit a stop loss and then it goes back in your intended direction. It's like the markets go a personal vendetta against you, right? That's how it feels. What are the issues here? Well, let's have a look to see what you can do about that to stop that happening. Because the most common reason that I find that many people have is their stop loss is too tight. A tight stop loss might seem appealing because it minimizes your risk, or so you think on paper, but often it doesn't account for the natural volatility in the market. Now financial markets ebb and flow. They rarely move in straight lines. So if you're a stop loss is too tight, you're probably going to get stopped out during these minor counter movements. And it's something that you need to be aware of and because not every single time are you going to place a trade that moves straight up into your direction all the time. Not knowing where to place your stop loss? The second reason and again, probably a very common reason is because most people don't know where to put their stop loss for each trade they take. Most people use the same stop loss all the time for some reason. Now each market condition requires a different stop loss size. The size of the stop loss should reflect the timeframe of the chart being traded. The pair been traded, and also the market conditions at the time. Because don't forget, different pairs move in different speeds and different amounts. Trading is emotional. And thirdly is emotion and let's face it, trading is an emotional endeavor, and especially when money is on the line. Now, some traders, they move their stop loss because of fear or greed that leads to inconsistent outcomes. And now a well calibrated stop loss is based on a sound trading strategy and knowing where to put your stop loss and why. Each time. So the danger is if you become emotional, you do things that are erratic. So you need to stick to your plan and don't offer it. Don't change your plan just on a whim. How to avoid being stopped out all of the time. So what can you do to avoid being stopped out? Well, here's a few quick tips for you. So is understanding what to do and when to do it. Making sure that your trades have equal risk per trade regardless of the stop loss size. Most people think that they're stop loss needs to be small because that means they're going to lose more if the stop loss gets taken out. That is not true. We can certainly help you there to understand that a lot more. So adjust your stop loss, adjust your stop loss size accordingly so you can put your stop loss in the right place for that trade at the time you stop losses there. It's a tool to protect your capital. Don't forget that you will get stop that from time to time. But you need to remember if you've got a good, sound strategy and the trade goes against you,

Is your content ever updated to adapt to the current market conditions?” So I thought I'd make this video on podcast this week. Outside in the sun and answer that question for you. Hey, there traders! This is Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach. With video and podcast number 523. How often should you change your strategy? I've been asked the question about changing your strategy to adapt to the market conditions. Is that something that I do regularly? And if so, when? And it's a question is actually a really good, smart question because unfortunately, far too many people would do that and they find that the trading is not going to well, something's happened in the market. It may be more rangebound or there could be more price action. And so therefore, they change their system in their strategy and their whole approach to adapt to what's actually happening in the market at that time. The issue I have with that is how do you know how long to give it when things are going bad? In order for you to realize that you're doing something wrong and therefore you need to make a change. And that becomes the old issue that everybody has. And it's like in hindsight, it's fantastic. In reality, things don't go so well. I’ve been trading for 20 years Now, as someone who's been trading the forest markets for 20 years now and teaching for over 14 years, I can tell you that in the 14 years that I've been teaching and around three years prior to that, I've never changed the strategy at all. It's not changed. If I look back at my daily trade suggestions back in 2009, I look back at my first live webinars I did with clients back in 2010. Nothing's different. And that's the beauty of what we do. And you see, you got full confidence in knowing that the way that we trade, the way that we look at the market, the way that we teach, the way that we analyze everything that we do on the webinars, on the forums, on the daily trades, etc., is exactly the same. Nothing at all has changed. And so how do we manage that? I suppose would be the obvious next question. We look at Price Action Well, it's all to do with the strategy and the way that we trade and we look at price action, we look at the price itself, we look at candle formations where they showed on the chart. What part of the chart are they in? Do they have stop loss protection? They've got room to move. They have strength and weakness with them. All those type of things that we look at on the charts to actually give us the initial chart sets up and the yes or no, do we have a trade here or not? Now, you will probably know that we only trade on the close of a candle. So that makes our trading very easy to know when to trade and reality is you can trade just sort of once or twice a day. I look at multiple timeframe charts at that exact time. The way we deliver the course and more markets available to trade Now, the only thing that has changed over those years is just the way that we deliver the course. It's, you know, obviously like everything, it's improved. It's got cheaper, it's got more efficient. You know, we're not flying like seen people around the world any longer.

Let me answer that question for you and more right now. Hey there, Forex Traders! Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 522. Why would you sell your trading strategy? Now received an email this morning from a trader for John over in the UK. They said, Andrew, I need to ask you this question. It's the the obvious question to ask and it's like if you're so good at trading and if your system is so good. Why do you need to sell it to people? And it's quite a, you know, an obvious question. And so what I'd like to do on today's video and podcast is to give you a bit of detail and background about the Forex Trading Coach and my trading. To help you to understand where we've grown over the years, where we are today, and why we do what we do. How I started So I've been trading for just around 20 years now and back in around 2007 I ended up being the top trader on an auto trade company. Back in the early, early days of trading where you could buy signals off people. And I won the competition, won the global competition. I had a system that worked really well and it topped everybody. There were hundreds and hundreds of traders even back then. And so back then, people could follow along. Had no idea who you were, but they could follow along and buy off that company. Now, that was okay, but I thought, okay, I've come and won this. So what I ended up doing is creating a very basic signal system. Back in the early days, you know, websites were very basic. There was PayPal and nothing else. And then what I ended up doing is I ended up developing an email each day that went out and it was like, buy here, stop loss, their profit target there. And people would pay a monthly subscription for that. And it went really well. Teaching the strategy And I got to a brand end of 2008, early 2009. And then I received an email from one particular subscriber who lives over in Noosa, in Australia. And he said to me, Andrew, I'm really enjoying your signals. They're doing well. I'm making really good money from it. But more importantly, I'd love you to come and teach me how you do what you do. So rather than just relying on your email each day, I can find out how to do this for myself because ultimately I could get hit by a bus, you know, no more Andrew and this guy went from making a lot of money to suddenly no emails, and that was it. So he wanted to develop that information, that knowledge education for himself, which is fair enough. So I put together the course into like a word document, took it down the road to the printers and say how you make this into a real nice, colorful page doc in a booklet for me. And that's what we did. It was really was as as basic as that went across to Australia, took a back up flash drive in case I lost everything and I spent three or four days with this guy. He's still a client to this day. And with him and his family teaching him how to trade it was really enjoyable to discuss trading in person with someone. So that was the very first client. The number of clients expands

You see so many people get very excited with win rates and they tend to put almost like too much emphasis on a win rate of a system and the strategy and especially a lot of inexperienced people, they see something that's got, let's say, like a 90% win rate and they think has to be the answer to their successes and it has to be a fantastic trading system. I can tell you that is not the case. Now, a little while ago, I was talking to someone who had a 90% winning system and he was losing quite a lot of money. And as a new trader, you might question like, how is that possible? And as a more experienced trader and a profitable trader, I can tell you the win rate really doesn't matter quite as much as you may think. Yes, it's important, but it is certainly not the most important aspect and the most experienced and most profitable Traders have win rates that are drastically lower than and sometimes pretty quite a lot lower than what you might actually think. Yet, they are very profitable. How has that happened? Small gains and big losses Well, the issue with most people is, first of all, they trade with pips and the guy that has the 90% win rate. That was a problem also. But what he was doing was having lots of small gains. Now, let's use the PIP example and let's say he had ten trades. Now 90% win rate, of course, means nine out of his ten trades were profitable. Now, let's say he was making, pick a figure. Ten pips per profitable trade let’s say and again you can see why I don't trade pips but let's go with it because that's what he was doing. Therefore, nine trades, ten pips profit means even if we're not worrying about spread and we're saying that's ten pips net, which by the way it wasn't, but let's say it was to make his system even better, he's made 90 pips. The problem was that when he had one losing trade, let's say he lost 100 pips on that trade, he was then negative ten pips, yet he had a 90% win rate system. And you can only imagine how much damage that would do psychologically when you get smashed by a big losing trade like that. And that becomes the problem. My way of trading Now, if you've been following me for some time, you would know the first of all, the key to trading. Not only do you need a successful system, but you need to have low and controlled risk per trade and forget pips. So with my personal trading, I never risk more than half of 1% per trade. But also it's very important that you have high return trade, so high reward to risk profitable trade. So with the guy that had the 90% winning system but was losing money, he had lots of small gains. One big loss and big losses with me is the opposite. When I have losses, I have small losses, but when I have gains I have big profitable gains. And that that change of mindset and that flipping around of the wins and the losses is one of the keys to success. Closed trades from this week Now, just this week, I'm going to read some examples here. Just this week we've had a monthly chart trade close. We're now into October that trades been open since March on the ChinaH. The Chinese index that made a 4.

Let me explain why and how we trade. Let's get into that and more. Right now. Hey there forex traders. It's Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 520. Why I don’t trade the news And that's right. I completely ignore the news. I don't look at the news. I don't consider the news and it just does not affect my trading. Now, in the Forex world, there are generally two types of traders. We have fundamental traders who do look at news announcements. Aand we have technical traders. And I'm definitely a technical trader because I look at charts, I do not clutter my charts with lots and lots of indicators because that just becomes a mess and I'm tradable. I look price action, I look at the close of a candle and I look at what is actually happening in the market and make a decision. Do I have protection for my stop loss? Do I have room to move to my profit target? I know that my patterns work across all timeframes, all markets, and depending on the conditions at the time, if I see the pattern, I take the pattern because it has such a high probability chance of success. Problems with Fundamental trading Now fundamental traders look at the news. And while I personally still do look at Forex Factory once a day on the calendar just to see what's happening purely out of interest, I don't care about the news. It doesn't influence my trading. I don't take positions out. Just prior to news or anything like that because as a technical trader I don't need to. I trade what I see. The issue I've always had, or there's quite a few issues. I've always had a fundamental trading. From a practical point of view, depending on where you live in the world, some of the major market news announcements might be like 2:00 or 4:00 in the morning, not very practical for me living in New Zealand, if I'm looking at the European news or especially the US News, that's like, you know, sort of 11:00, 12:00, 2:00 in the morning type of things. Likewise, if you're in Europe or the US and you're looking at Australian news, let's say, oh, Japanese news, it's not at a very convenient time. And the other thing is from a practical point of view, is you'll find quite often brokers will increase spreads massively, Sometimes if price freezes around news announcements. So it's not quite all. It's like sort of talked up to be when you trade news. Different conclusions from the same news The other thing is also is if you look at a news announcement and I look at a news announcement, we could see the same news announcement and draw completely different conclusions because you might say, oh, it's way better than expected figure. Therefore we should be buying that that currency. I might say yes, better than expected. But last month they've dropped it all. There's been some commentary after that to say this is going to be, let's say, the last interest rate hike or something like that, which means yes, okay. But long term, it's not so good. So different people will see news announcements in different ways. So you got to be real careful there. And in all honesty, most big news announcements generally go in the way of the longer timeframe charts as a technical trader anyway, I can pretty much see most of the time which way news announcements are going to go by looking at, say,

It's a very powerful tool that can help you to identify continuation patterns and reversal patterns. So let's get into that and more. Right now. Hey there, Forex Traders! This is Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach, For a video and podcast number 519. Divergence. What is it and how do we use it? So today I want to talk about divergence is a very powerful tool that can help you to identify both reversal patterns and continuation patterns. And divergence occurs when you use an indicator such as like the RSI or my case, the stochastic indicator, and it occurs when the price moves away from the direction that the indicators suggest the price should be moving in. Continuations and Reversals And there's two ways that we use divergence and we use it for a continuation pattern, which is what they call hidden divergence, and that is when the price is moved up, it then pulls back and we get a hidden divergence looking for the price to continue again. So what you get there is in an uptrend, the price makes higher lows and the indicator makes lower lows. And when you see that occur, that gives you the best indication that the price is likely to continue upwards. And we see regular divergence occur when we're looking for a trend reversal. Now, this is certainly a higher risk type of trade because you're looking at taking a sell trade at the top of an uptrend or buy trade at the bottom of a downtrend. So with regular divergence in an uptrend, what we're looking for there is the price making higher highs, but the indicator fails to do so. In fact, the indicator makes lower highs, so you get the price doing one thing and the indicator doing the other. This suggests a reversal pattern or regular divergence. Trading with both patterns So with both of these two patterns, both regular divergence and hidden divergence, you certainly need everything else that you're looking for to occur first. In my case, we're looking for the candle pattern to be in the right part of the chart. We're looking for round number, strength and weakness, etc. And for me, divergence is just like the cherry on top. It's the thing that makes a trade go from a pretty good trade to a really good trade because there's one extra layer of confirmation there. New trades or Early exits So two things you can do here. If you're not currently in a trade and you see a trade set up and you get either reversal patterns or continuation patterns occur, then what you can do is it gives you a high probability entry position. If you are already in a trade and let's say you're in a buy trade and you're not quite at your profit target and you see a negative or hidden negative divergence occur, in other words, the price looks like it's going to fall and you're still in a buy trade. It can give you an early warning system to get out of the trade early. So two ways of using divergence there. One, if you are looking to get into trade, number two, if you are already in trade and potentially might need to get at early and two different types of divergence, regular divergence for reversals, hidden divergence for continuation patterns, my personal favorite is always hidden divergence because it gives me the opportunity to ride the trend after a slight retracement or pullback.

People will never make good traders. To trade properly, you've got to get your emotions under control because it's all about the head. Let's get into that a more right now. Hey there. Traders! This is Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 518. What type of person makes a good trader? And quite a blunt lesson today in some ways. And it may upset a few people, but, you know, possibly that's the point. And if you want to give yourself a good chance of being a good trader, you have to control your emotions. You cannot be one of these erratic, emotional, responsive type of people because the chances are you're not going to do very well at trading. Having a strategy and controlling your emotions You see, trading, we know, is all about having a strategy and understanding what you're doing, but it's all about understanding. It's also about understanding your mind, your heart, your emotions, because the reality is that we're trading with real money and emotions come into play. You cannot hide that. You know, you can get away from the fact that. If you’re on demo, you may not quite understand this yet, but if you’re live trading, you will know that emotions come into trading and become a big part. So you need to understand the emotional, psychological side of things, plus your strategy and how the market works and put that together. We all see and know reactive people Now, look, we've all seen, you know, emotional, reactive, erratic people. You know, you see them if you're driving, you see them on the road and they had blowing a horn for something stupid. You see people at airports, you know, when emotions start getting a little bit much and people get a bit stressed and they go to do dumb things. You see that around like, you know, you seen it in the last few years with all the stuff that's going on in the world. And if you've got any slight opinion or different to the, you know, the government or mainstream people have been smashed for it, well, they're just having their opinion. And much of the time they've probably done more research than everybody else anyway. So but people find it very easy to be emotionally reactive rather than actually stopping thinking and in doing things properly or just letting someone house have a different opinion, it's perfectly fine. It's nothing wrong with that at all. So what makes the world go round? It's what makes trading go. You know, why is why do some people see the market moving up and all those people said moving down? So you've got to get that under control. Have a plan and stick to it Really important because when it comes to emotions in trading, you need to also have some form of plan and stick to it as well. You know, people that just suddenly go. The six hour charts are rubbish or last week they failed so and I lost money on them. So I'm never going to look at them again. Hey says mate, why would you do that? You know, if your strategy is to look like mine, let's say twice a day, and I always look at the daily charts and at the same time I look at the 12/8/6 and then that's at 5 p.m. New York time, 5 a.m.. I'm always there, you know, always on the forum site. I always there looking through the shorter time frame. So the two, four, six, eight and 12 at that 5 a.m.

Let's go into that and more right now. Hey there, traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here, the Forex Trading Coach with video on podcast number 517. Coming to you from my favourite beach Awaroa And today I'm going to explain why I like those longer timeframe charts. I’m at Awaroa one of my favorite places. It's coming up to the end of winter here in New Zealand. And just flown here today with my wife in the helicopter and just been to see some friends and now we're about to go and have a bite to eat for lunch on the beach. And as you can see, there's as two people here on the beach. That's it. And us. And why am I telling you this? Daily trades taken, then off to enjoy life Well, earlier this morning, I took my time. I took my daily traits for the day three trades day off the daily charts. Yesterday, I took a trade as well. And also one on the eighth hour charts yesterday. And then last night my time I took three trades on the 6 hours and that was it for my trading yesterday. Reasons for trading. Those longer timeframe charts means you only need to look like once or possibly twice within a day. Too many traders get glued to the charts Unfortunately, far too many people get caught up into the problem of feeling like they need to sit there watching one minute charts and 5 minutes. Yeah, so 15 minute charts because they feel they should do they load their charts up with all these pretty patterns and it's just this complete utter information overload and clutter of dots and lines and arrows and different things on that chart because the brokers inundate you with all this technical analysis and you're convinced that that's what you have to use. Real traders pretty much ignored us to that. And that's the difference, I suppose, between people who go into it and think they're going to find some magic formula with hundreds of patterns all over their charts and dots and lines and crosses and things, and people will actually look at candle patterns and and price action and use bigger picture analysis. So, and strength and weakness, etc.. And that's there so many benefits of trading those longer timeframe charts. You know, people with families, with careers, with other things to do, travel, whatever it is, You can go and do that and trade full time and do really, really well from those longer timeframe charts. So I look at the charts always at 5 p.m. New York time and make my analysis they are based off the daily charts and beginning of each week of the weekly charts, beginning of each month of the monthly charts and every single day, daily charts. And then I also look through 12, eight and six at the same time. And you can do that all in 15-20 minutes a day done. And then personally, for me, I look at the close of the sort of four, six and 12 hour charts which is at 5 a.m. New York time. You don't have to be at your chance at that time. That's just what suits me that other that second time, because you're getting like two or three other time frame charts change over then. Longer timeframes,

Let me explain how we do that. Right now. Hey, the Forex Traders! This is Andrew Mitchem at the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 516. We don’t only trade the Forex market So obviously at the Forex Trading Coach we trade the forex market, but there's so many of you out there that want to look at other markets as well, and metals, indices, other commodities and of course cryptos. Now crypto has been still the buzz word, although things have just quietened it off a little bit. But you know, the issue that I see with a lot of those markets. Bitcoin’s massive crash in price Especially if you look at Bitcoin, for example, you know, the most well known crypto is that if you go back, let's say to the end of 2021, Bitcoin was up around $69,000 and everybody was predicting it was going to get to 100,000 and then just keep going. And of course, what happened? Well, it did the complete opposite. It absolutely crashed and it fell away. And by the way, back then, I predicted that would happen. And I was looking at the charts and looking at the monthly or the weekly charts back then. And on one of my live webinars clients, I said, it's going to really drop. And we have a price prediction level. And guess what? It did that and ended up going even further. But here we are right now, August 2023, and right now the price of Bitcoin is around $26,000. And imagine being back then sort of 65, 68, 69, just about reached $69,000, but somewhere around about then and, you know, buying a whole lot of Bitcoin. First of all, you need a huge amount of money upfront and to invest. But also if you've bought a $65,000 and it sort of dropped to today, $26,000, that's a massive loss. You've taken that huge hit. We trade Crypto’s in the same way as we trade the Forex market And so the way that we trade cryptos, just this week I've taken trades on Bitcoin itself and the Etherium and also Chainlink is exactly the same as looking at the forex market. So we can buy, we can sell, you know, go long and short week and look at the same charts on our Metatrader 4, Metatrader 5 and we have the same patterns, the same candle patterns. We're looking for continuations, we're looking for reversals. We can use different time frame charts. We have the same risk of our trade goes against us. We have the same reward to risk. We're looking at the same time of day. So there's nothing different to what we're doing trading, say, like cryptos than if we were trading the EUR/USD for example. And that's the beauty of it. It's just opened up a massive bigger amount of markets. And therefore when we come to look at chart patterns, which is what we do, we're looking for patterns and we know the patterns that we look at have high probability of a successful outcome based off history in all the years of doing what we're doing. Trading the Patterns that work So when it comes to the pattern, I'm not really bothered if I'm taking a trade on Bitcoin or Chainlink or the EUR/USD. It does not matter to me. And so we're taking the patterns based on what we know works for us. So that's for me is the way that I can trade these other markets. Indices taken just this week

Let me explain how you can use prop firms to your advantage and make some substantial returns. Let's get into that more. Right now. Hey there, traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 515. Why Prop Firms? Today I wanted to explain all about prop firms, what they are good ones, maybe not so good ones, and how you can take advantage of them to substantially increase your returns that you make from the Forex market. So the good things with prop firms is you're able to go to them and prove to them that you can try. Now, of course, you've got to be able to trade properly first within their criteria. So you have to have a strategy and be a good trader before you do that. So don't just watch this and go and jump into a prop firm because more than likely going to lose money. But what you should do is learn how to trade properly first. And of course, we can help you with that. Most people lack the funds to trade full time But the traditional issue that so many people have is even if they can trade properly, they've not had substantial capital or funds available to them themselves to be able to make good enough returns from the forex market in order to maybe use the forex market as a full time income. Now, let's say you know how to trade and you're making I'm going to pick some figures, let's say 50% return per year, but with very low drawdown. That's absolutely incredible. And does almost any other investment out there, let's say you only had $10,000 in your own personal account. Well, fantastically, you made $5,000. But of course, in most places around the world, that $5,000 is not gonna get you very far in terms of being able to live and survive. So that has always become the issue. FX2Funding as a Prop firm Now with prop firms, of course, there are good and there are not so good prop firms. And I'm going to put a link here to FX2Funding who I think are very good prop firm and other prop firms are starting to catch up with some of the rules and criteria that FX2Funding have brought in which I think again, is a bit of a game changer. So I'm not suggesting you should only go to them. Have a look around, do your own due diligence. Traders making excellent gains trading on Prop firms But we have a lot of our clients here at the Forex Trading Coach doing incredibly well through prop firms. And just last week we had a client who's up passed the challenge stage with a new prop firm and now is on $100,000 live and has passed the 10% profit on that on an 80/20 profit share. He's just picked up $8,000 not even his money. It may have cost him $500 to start a challenge and now he's moving on to the next level. We also have a number of clients who have been through prop firms and with prop firms for quite some time, and a number of them are opening up new prop firms account every week or every few weeks and have multiple prop firm accounts, all running all at different stages of length of time that they've been with them. And I can tell you they are making some crazy, crazy personal returns. Now, does every single prop firm challenge that you take pass? No, of course not.

It's a question I get asked very often. And just this week, one of our clients has posted some amazing five minute chart trades on our forum site, and I like to share details about that right now to help you. Let's get into it. Hey there, traders. Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach with video on podcast number 514. Should I look to scalp the market? Now quite often I get asked the question, Andrew, should I look at scalping? And scalping is trading shorter timeframe charts when you're generally in and out of the market relatively quickly and most of the time I say the people don't do it. Stay away from anything from one hour charts and below because most of the time it consumes you. It's lots of noise, lots of whipsawing around and the price action. And unless you know what you're doing, it's probably going to eat you alive. It's probably not a great idea. And really it comes down to each to their own. You know, I much prefer personally the longer timeframe charts with the higher rewards risk looking less often. But we also have to acknowledge that not everybody wants to do that. Any Pair and any Market and any Time frame chart And the fantastic thing about my trading strategy is it can be applied to any currency pair, any market and any timeframe chart. Now, just this week, one of our clients, David, has posted for amazing five minute chart trades on our forum site. So David is only looking at his charts just three days a week and only for about an hour or so per day. So it's really important that if you are to look at short a timeframe chart such as the five minute charts, you do not make this like all time consuming. Most people don’t know when to look or what to look for The issue that a lot of people have is they don't know when to look, they don't know what to look for. And then because they're sat there looking, they kind of bring emotions in trades and they feel like, Oh, I'm here right now. I have to find a trade. And that becomes quite a dangerous thing. It's like years and years ago when I started trading on dial up Internet and same thing. You finally got the Internet to work. And I thought, Right, I'm on ready to go now. Where's a trade? Let's make it happen. And of course, that's not the way to trade. So you know, fast forward and luckily we don't have dial up any longer, but there's still the same kind of issues that you must get away from. The fact that just because you're there don't force a trade to happen. Only take Continuation patterns So let's get back to David. What David has done very sensibly is he has chosen to only take continuation trade patterns. So here at the Forex Trading Coach, we take reverse patterns and continuation patterns. Reversals are pretty cool. They look really good on the charts as being a big uptrend and then the we looking to sell or there's been a big downtrend. You're looking to buy. That's fine on the longer timeframe charts, but on the shorter time frame charts, a continuation pattern is a far safer, higher probability way of trading, and that's what David has chosen to do on the four trades that he's taken this week. Examples of Continuation patterns So as an example,

I've landed in a little bit, but I'm talking like proper snow. I’ve been flying for 9+ years and still need training And I've been flying this whopping fly helicopters for nine years, this helicopter for over five. It's a great machine. Very, very powerful helicopter. It's even got snow paws on down there so you can land in snow properly. However, I've not done it. The reason is it's clearly very, very dangerous. You have to know what to do. Like when you land on that snow. Are you going to sink? Are you on rocks? Am I going to get the skids here? Cool on rocks. Am I over a lake? I don't know. So there's a lot of skill. Is it icy? How have fresh the snow has off to the actual approach. Getting the blades up here, you know, whipping up the snow, creating really bad visibility, white outs, all those type of things. And obviously on mountains anyway, it's a lot more dangerous, you know, windy conditions. So I put duals in here and the two of us are off for a flight. So after nine years, I'm still seeking expert help because I want to go and do something quite, you know, a higher level, more dangerous, more risky. If I try it myself and look, legally, I can go and do that myself. I have a full license. I own the machine, it's fully insured. Everything else, I can go and do this, but I'm seeking professional help to show me from someone who knows what they're doing, who's done this countless thousands and thousands of times, what to do to do it properly. Trader wastes GBP15,000 thanks to Social Media “Experts” Now, you bring this back to the guy who wrote to me yesterday. Not only is he wasted an enormous amount of time and probably lost huge confidence in the market. And clearly, confidence in someone who can teach him because he's tried so many free places on YouTube, he's lost £15,000. That's a huge amount of money. Now, if I get this wrong, I can assure you I'm going to lose a lot more than £15,000. I could be losing hundreds of thousands of dollars and getting it wrong.

At the end of the day, all you really want is good results, consistent results, low drawdowns, and we can provide that for you. Let me share with you how we've done that for our clients this week. Let's get into it right now. Hey, traders. Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach. With video and podcast, number 512. Another great trading week We've had a yet another fantastic trading week. And as I mentioned at the beginning, as a trader, ultimately the thing that you want more than anything is results. You want consistent results. You want to know how to trade properly. You don't want to be spending lots and lots of time your charts and you want low drawdown. You see, that's absolute key. All in good. Someone saying, I've made 50% in a six months, but if they risk, you know, crazy amounts in their drawdown, it's been 50% then not particularly great. What you want to have is low drawdown with high reward to risk trades. Trading on a prop firm If you've got any interest at all in prop firms, that's exactly what they want. And you will see that if you've tried on a prop firm and failed is probably because your drawdown has been too excessive and you've they've stopped their contact because of your over trading or too big a risk which has led to, you know, you breaching the five or 6% threshold that most of them have. Here’s how we can help you gain consistency and results So what can we help you with? Well, we can help you gain that consistency and those results. And and we know we can do that because we're doing that for ourselves when we're doing that for our clients. And we've been doing that for over 14 years here at the Forex Trading Coach. And we've got clients in 103 countries. And look, this just works out this week. It's been a classic example. We have taken 16 daily chart trades this week, been posted on a membership site with exact currency pairs, the directions, the reasons for the trade, plus the exact entry and exit levels, all of which are taught in the course anyway. But just on the daily chart trades alone 16 trades five Weekly chart trades. This week. So all of that combined would literally take you less than one hour to place out breakout strategy that we look at once a week, which again literally takes 2 minutes once a week. That's made another one and a half percent this week. It made one and a half percent last week as well. On top of that, we've taken quite a number of trades on our forums site this week that either ourselves and clients are posted predominantly the longer time frames this week, just the nature of the market and we've had a few charts posted on 30 minutes and 1 hours, but most of the trades have been posted on 12 hours and 6 hour charts. This week has some an amazing results on the 12 hour charts in particular. And again, that requires you to look at your computer once, maybe twice, or at your charts once or twice a day. And one of those times is actually the exact same time that the daily charts are posted. So, you know, it's just an absolute no brainer, really. It’s a no-brainer If you want to be able to trade consistently with low drawdowns that know what you're doing, to know when to look at the charts, to know what timeframes to look at, to know what patterns to trade and when with the exact entry and exit levels to not worry about PIPS, because every trade that we take has low and equal risk. It doesn't matter what the pair,

Has Your Income Exceeded the Rise in the Cost of Living?

Let's talk about that and more. Right now. Hey there, traders. Is Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 511. Inflation is out of control So today I want to talk about inflation. I've talked about it in the past and here we are now, many months later, with inflation still continuing to spiral right around the world. All around the world, it doesn't matter what country you live in. Inflation is getting higher and higher. The cost of living is going up and up. The cost of your food, the cost of travel, the cost of everything is getting out of control. And it doesn't look like it's going to stop any time soon. Add on to that the increase in interest rates, which we'll continue to see right around the world, despite many months ago, a lot of the experts saying they were going to stop and peak and then potentially fall. That's not happened. Interest rates continue to go up. So anybody with any form of loan, mortgage debt, it's just getting harder and harder and harder to pay that. What has happened to your income in the last 12 months? So my question to you today is this. “What has happened to your income in the last 12 months?” “Has it gone up by the rate of inflation?” or “Has it gone up more?” because it should have at least gone up by that rate. Ideally, more than that rate for your country, because if it hasn't, you've gone backwards in the last 12 months of working hard. And that's quite a scary thought for people. So how do you think about that and answer that for you and your situation. What are you doing to help yourself? Also, what are you doing about that? If your income has not exceeded inflation and interest rate and your general cost of living increase in the last 12 months? What are you doing about that? Because unfortunately, so many people procrastinate. They look around, they think they're going to do something. They have all these wonderful ideas. They hear something like this and they go, Yeah, I'm going to do something. Six months later. Guess what? They've done absolutely nothing. Why? Because it's a little bit harder to go and make a decision, a little bit harder to go and do something. It's easier to sit on the couch and watch rubbish on Netflix or something like that. And so that becomes the issue. People need to actually get a kick up the bum and be motivated in inflation and interest rates continuing to climb. And probably incomes not really ought to give you that kick that you need. So what are you going to do about that today, right now? Nothing beats trading the Forex market Now, from my point of view, I know of nothing better than the forex market and trading to actually help to overcome this situation and to improve things for you because it has very low risk, it has very low cost of entry. You think about, let's say, going off to university and getting yourself a degree in three, four, five, six, seven, eight years, depending on what you're doing and, you know, and coming out with massive debt. And then you still need to go and get yourself a job and claw your way and debt and then still be an almost slave to the system because you still have a jo...

Has the US Dollar Crashed?  Podcast: Signup For my Forex Masterclass Find out more about Blueberry Markets – Click Here Find out more about my Online Video Forex Course #510: Has the US Dollar Crashed? In this video: 00:24 – The recent US Dollar crash 01:08 – What’s caused the weakness in the USD? 02:11 – We analyse the Weekly and Daily Strength & Weakness 03:45 – What to do when a trade sets up against the trend? 04:24 – Did you profit from the recent USD move 04:54 – Trading with Blueberry Markets Has the US dollar crashed? Did you take advantage of it? And will that trend continue? Let's talk about that and more right now at. Hey there, traders. It's Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach video and podcast number 510 today. The recent US Dollar crash I want to talk all about the recent crash that we have seen in the US dollar. I hope you've taken advantage of it and you've seen plenty of good trading opportunities. You have a look at the US Dollar Swiss franc chart, for example. Right now as I'm recording this on the 14th of July 2023, the US dollar right now is at a level we've not seen for eight years back in 2015. Go and have a look at the charts. It's just crashed. The US Swiss franc has absolutely crashed against other currencies. The US is also looking weak. Some of them are rates, highs or lows depending on which currency for the year. Some are now at levels not seen for several years as well. What’s caused the weakness in the USD? So what's caused that? Well, as traders, to be perfectly honest with you, we don't really need to worry about what's caused it because there's probably a multiple number of factors there that have caused that US dollar weakness. However, the important thing, especially as technical traders, is that we see this happening all out charts and we take advantage of these moves and the big trends because that's how you can trade with the main trend. If you see this continued US dollar weakness and you see other currencies looking particularly strong, then you start to bring in and start to bring in the strength and weakness analysis that we look at to help us to trade on the right side of the market. Of course, we're still looking for the right technical setups in candle patterns and what part of the chart the candle has closed in, etc. like that? Do we have room to move to our profit target? Have we got some form of stop loss protection or round number for our stop loss to help ourselves out there and to increase our probability of a successful trade. We analyse the Weekly and Daily Strength & Weakness But also at the Forex Trading Coach on a weekly basis, we look at and analyze the weekly charts and we post for our clients each week. Every Monday morning, the likely strength and weakness directions on the bigger picture weekly charts on a daily basis. Each day we do exactly the same based off the daily chart. We look through the daily charts and we look at which currencies are looking particularly strong or particularly weak. And then we also mention which currency pairs are likely to move in which direction for that particular day. Does that mean that every time if we say the US Swiss francs looking for sell opportunities, is this going to fall? No, it doesn't. But what it does do is it gives us the bigger picture. If we have, let's say, weakness on the US Swiss franc on the weekly chart and in on a particular day you see US Swiss franc weakness. You then look for particularly for sell trades. So if you see bearish candles in the right part of the chart on any time frame, what that means that you are trading with the more immediate candle direction looking like it's heading down on a daily basis, it looks like it's weak on a weekly basis. There's weakness in that pair. It stands to reason and adds to your probability that with the right pattern in the right part of the chart and with that more daily and longer term dire...
