This will put you ahead of 99% of retail traders

Being the owner of a trading software company, this may be difficult for me to say: “In trading, the difference between success and struggle often lies NOT in the tools you use, but in your approach to the market.” Don't get me wrong, tools do play a significant role. However, if you're constantly chasing the latest trending strategies and patterns… WHILE ignoring to invest the time necessary to understand market behaviors and act on those behaviors. You'll likely find yourself gambling and losing money on low-probability setups… Regardless of the tools you use. If you want to avoid this trap, here's what you need to know: Having the opportunities to act on HIGH probability setups comes down to adopting a two-steps approach… 1. Understanding Market Behavior: You might be looking at news events and have a good understanding of how participants react to a hit/miss. You might be looking at the behavior at the extremes of short term ranges in the market. You might be looking at momentum. For any behavior, you need to understand how often it occurs, what is going on in other markets when it does occur, how to tell the behavior is in play, how to tell when the behavior fails. 2. Trading the Behavior: This involves creating a strategy or a plan to profit from the behaviors identified. This includes: - Trade Plan Development: After recognizing a market behavior, you need to develop a strategy on how to enter and exit trades based on that behavior. - Execution and Refinement: As you begin to trade, you'll encounter challenges. You might miss opportunities, hold onto losing trades too long, or exit profitable trades too soon. The key here is to review your trades and understand whether mistakes were due to poor execution on your part or unexpected market behavior. Simply put… You DO NOT jump into trading if you do not have a behavior you can exploit. If you understand the behavior, how frequently it occurs, and the failure rates, you will be able to determine how much potential is available for trading. That's your edge. Most home traders have never experienced or imagined something like this. So, before you place your next trade, take a moment. Observe the market, decode its behaviors, and craft a plan… Your chances of success will be much higher. Keep trading smart, Peter Jigsaw Trading & Journalytix P.S.
