I am thrilled to share with you all that I recently had the incredible opportunity to interview with Tristian from Funded Engineer. This insightful conversation delved into crucial topics such as mindset, risk management, and data management, which are all integral aspects of successful trading. I'm excited to announce that this interview will be released in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
During our discussion, we emphasized the importance of recognizing that when we purchase an evaluation, we are essentially buying data. Similar to how we drive a car after purchasing it or wear clothes after buying them, we must extract valuable insights from the data we acquire throughout our trading journey. This data holds the key to understanding our unique triggers and tendencies, enabling us to make informed decisions in the market.
One of the key takeaways from our interview was the significance of identifying any issues that may arise during our trading process. By putting a fence around these issues and actively avoiding them, we can protect ourselves from potential pitfalls. It's crucial to monitor our behavior and track the results of our executions to ensure that we stay on the right path. Flexibility and adaptability are also essential. As we gain more experience and insights, we must be willing to adapt our strategies and approaches as needed.
In terms of my recent trading activities, I focused on the AUD/JPY pair overnight. The price exhibited a favorable breakdown during the Asian session and retested the lows in London before reversing higher. Unfortunately, my stops were hit, resulting in a loss of 1%. However, I remained resilient and shifted my attention to the indices during the New York session.
While trading the NY Session, I experienced some slippage on my stops for USD/CAD, with prices moving against me by 25 and 40 pips. There was a Red folder CAD Data Release. This unexpected development reminded me of the importance of staying aware of the market calendar and upcoming events, even if there were no significant US red folder releases on that particular day.
To recover from these setbacks, I focused on scalping short positions on US30, and I managed to secure a 1:4 risk-to-reward ratio on NAS100. This trade helped mitigate my losses and added a positive note to my trading day.
As traders, we must always remember that the learning process never ends. We must continuously seek new knowledge, refine our skills, and adapt to the ever-changing market conditions. The interview with Tristian reinforced this idea, highlighting the importance of never ceasing our quest for growth and improvement.
I am excited to share the full interview with you all in the coming weeks. It will undoubtedly provide valuable insights and perspectives on mindset, risk management, and data management. Until then, let's stay focused, embrace the learning process, and continue to grow as traders.
