Would you like to fast track the amount of time it's going to take you to become a successful and profitable forex trader? If you want to shortcut your time, listen up. I've got some great tips for you coming up right now. Hey there, Traders! Tt's Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 559. It took me 4 years to become a profitable trader. Now some of you may already know my story. If you don't. Back when I started trading, it took me around four years to become what I would call a profitable trader. That's a very long time. Lots of long hours staring at the charts, lots of reading information, lots of buying different products and following people and, you know, in the early days of expert advisors and, automated systems and creating my own and creating my own manual systems and following all sorts of people. Anyway, as you know, it's a slow, long, tedious and expensive process, and all you're doing is tearing your hair out because you know that really the next greatest latest thing. Fantastic. Yes. And then it doesn't work. And I went riding around, around on the old hamster wheel for four years before I realized I needed to make this work. And I sort of stripped everything off my charts. And I started to look at price action and candle patterns and and basically developed my own strategy. Yes, I pulled a few things here and there from other people that I followed. but I basically developed something that worked for me. And to this day, I'm still using that exact same trading strategy, and it's very profitable. And over 15 years of teaching at The Forex Trading Coach, we've helped thousands of thousands of traders from now 108 countries. So, it works. I think it's worked across all market conditions and over all that length of time. So that's a great thing. We post specific trades every day based on the Daily charts. Now to help people that come on board with us, one of the things that we do here at The Forex Trading Coach is we post specific trades each day based off the daily charts. I've done this every trading day since 2010, like we stop for Christmas and Easter, things like that. But apart from that, we post specific trades every single day. We look at the daily charts when they change over, which is 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. That's New York time. And we then analyze the charts and we scan through all the daily charts. I mean, originally it was just a forex markets. Now we look through the metals and the indices and cryptos etc. as well. And we go through and we analyze the markets and we take trades based off those daily charts. Now each day there are no day, there are no trades, but most days they're sort of between one and maybe 4 or 5 trades. Today, for example, is just one. But it's non-farm payrolls day in America on Friday. So very cautious of what we're trading today. But we scan through the charts, we look at the patterns that we're looking for and we say, here's a trade. And we're saying here's the currency pair, that we're trading, the direction we're trading. And then a paragraph of reasons why 4 or 5 lines of why we are taking that trade based off all the things that we we know and we teach as part of the strategy, we also put the exact entry and exit levels that we're taking.

How do you know when the price of your morning coffee is going to increase? Well, as a trader, we can help you to predict that. But more importantly, also how to trade coffee. Let's get into that a more right now. Hey there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach video and podcast number 558. The price of our morning coffee. I want to talk about coffee. How do you know when the price is going up? Because it affects us all every morning when we have a coffee. Well, the obvious answer to me as a trader is to look at your charts. When the beauty is over the last number of years that not only have we been able to trade more and more forex pairs, but we've been able to trade other markets such as like commodities and coffee. So the coffees that I have available on my MT5 platform, there are two of them. There are COFARA, which is the Arabica Coffee, and the COFROB which is the robusta coffee. And we can also trade sugar and raw sugar as well. So all these things combined to see if they're moving up. The likely hood is the price of your coffee is going to go up isn't it. We can now trade these commodity markets. But more importantly for me as a trader is I can now trade these markets. And the beauty of the way that I trade and the way that we teach, is that the strategy works equally as well across these other non forex markets, just as well as it does trading the EUR/USD or the GBP/USD or the AUD/JPY, we can trade the coffee markets, the sugar markets exactly the same. So that gives us more and more ability to look for the patterns that we're looking for on various charts. Now I would say one thing that with a lot of those markets, like the coffee trades, is that they don't all, have a 24 hour market. So they do need to be careful of that. And some of them, due to the nature of, their market hours. And when they open, they can have some gaps. So you do need to be careful of that. They're not quite as, perfectly formed as candle patterns. Then when you get on the forex markets. Taking a buy trade on Orange Juice. But just today, being Friday, the, 30th of, August when I'm recording this video on podcast for you, I've taken a trade on orange juice. Now, when the market opens, I'll be taking a by trade on OJ. So you can go and have a look at that on your daily charts. Now, if there's a large gap up or down, then the trade becomes invalid. But right now is a candle pattern for me. Orange juice looks fantastic. Lead, Copper & Aluminium traded this week. Just this week I've taken trades on different time frame charts, on lead, on copper, on aluminum or aluminum if you're in the US. On different markets like that. And so we have the ability to trade those commodities, those metals. we've got a client of ours to incredibly well trading the NASDAQ on the one and five minute charts. I don't think it's for everybody, but it just works for him. And he's doing incredibly well and posting trades on our forum site on that. we can trade other markets such as the indices and the commodities. Now the great and the cryptos, I should say. Cryptos are traded 7 days a week. And the great thing is with the cryptos is they are seven days a week. So you don't get those big gaps that you can sometimes get in the comm...

I'm going to give you my top five traits of what it takes to become a successful, profitable and independent forex trader. So if you're not yet profitable, you need to listen to these five traits and adapt them and adopt them as part of your trading plan. Let's get into that a more right now. Hey there, Traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of the Forex Trading Coach. For video on podcast number 560. My Top 5 Traits I see in profitable Forex traders. So today I want to give you my top five traits of where I see, profitable forex traders what it takes to become a profitable trader but also independent profitable forex trader. you know, without copying and following other people all of the time. Now of course, when people are new, it's great to be able to do that. But over time, you want to be able to do this for yourself without the reliance on another website or another person. And that's what I call a successful trader. Now, I've been trading the forex market for over 20 years full time, and I've been coaching for over 15 years. We've got clients in 108 countries right now. So I've got a fair bit of experience and I've seen all sorts of different types of people come and go, and I know what it takes to become a successful trader. #1 They know and understand their strategy. So first thing is, number one trait of a successful and profitable trader is they know their strategy there now inside out, upside down. Now they may have created it. like I did. They may have purchased it like you can do for us at The Forex Trading Coach. a proven strategy, however it happens. They know and understand that strategy. They know it completely. They know the ups and downs of it. They know all the details, but it allows them to trade with confidence, knowing that that strategy has been proven over time. And so having that complete confidence and faith in what they're doing is absolutely crucial. You wouldn't believe how many people I get come to me that have got these strategies. And I asked him a question and they don't know the answer about it because they don't really know what it is they're looking for. And so the number one trait, you have to have a strategy that suits you as a person and as a trader and your available times, etc.. That's been proven over, you know, a long period of time to work across multiple market conditions and changing conditions. So number one, confidence and ability to trade your strategy is absolutely crucial. #2 They understand money management and risk. Number two, you have to understand money management risk management. You have to trade with low risk per trade. Forget about pips like people that make x number of pips or risk x number of pips per trade. It's never going to work. You have to understand the market and you have to, trade with a stop loss. That's, correct. For that time frame of the chart, the movement in the market right now, the pair that you're trading, etc.. So when you have a trade. For me, every trade I take has a very low equal. It's a predefined risk level as a percentage of my account. And so whether my account $1,000, $100,000 or I'm trading our prop firm with half of million, it does not matter. I trade the trade.
