DeGRAM | EURUSD forecast for the week. Long to 1.142The currency pair makes a false breakout of the strong downward support and, after testing the 1.117 support, returns to the 1.13 level. The weekly session closes higher, I think that this is a possible start of the price recovery. If the instrument consolidates above the level of 1.13, then I expect the price to rise to the resistance of 1.142 ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with Like.

PRINCIPLES OF DRAWING UP A TRADING PLANHello traders! Today we will talk about WHAT should be in the trading plan of any self-respecting trader. Many, as it turned out, do not know the basic principles of building a trading plan. This article will help beginners understand WHAT should be added to their trading arsenal. 1. Timeframe. The first stage of drawing up a trading plan is to determine the timeframe. Every trader should know in what time interval he is going to look for entry opportunities and build a trading strategy accordingly. As a rule, timeframes are divided into three types: 2. Risk management. Risk control is probably the most important issue in any trading plan. The ability to control risks and follow principles distinguishes a professional from a beginner. In this section, the best rule is rule 1-3% 3. Market structure. Every trader should have a trading strategy even before opening a position during periods when the market is trending or in a sideways movement and, of course, be able to correctly determine when the market is moving from one phase to another. 4. Markets. Each market has its own characteristics. Not every trader, for example, can approach the forex market. You need to know where you are trading and use the appropriate tools. It may be worth trying all the markets to understand what is right for you. Study the markets, gain experience. 5. Entry conditions. The entry point must be chosen by the trader according to the rules prescribed in the strategy. A trader should know when and under what conditions to enter a position. Strategies can be different: based on a pullback or a breakout of the level, or maybe you want to trade according to the intersection of the indicator lines. And, yes, no one forbids using all strategies at once, the main thing is not to get confused. 6. Stops. Placing stops is an important part of the strategy. A properly placed stop can protect you from premature closing of the transaction. Failure to place a stop order may result in the loss of all capital. In any case, the strategy of placing stops should be in every trading plan. You can set a stop according to some percentage you have chosen, or you can set a stop for the maximum or minimum, it's up to you, but you need to decide before entering the position. 7. Target. A correctly set goal and a set take profit helps a trader to take profit and not stay in a position until it turns from profitable to unprofitable. There are different ways to fix profits: fixed - the value you have chosen according to your trading strategy. Trailing stop is a slightly advanced method, the essence of which is that the stop will move along with the price at the distance you choose and will close when the price goes against you too much.

Principles Of Risk Management One of the main topics, and perhaps the most important, is the topic of risk management and risk reward. Beginners often do not take this topic seriously, trying to hit the jackpot in every transaction, risking all or almost all of the capital and not realizing what the consequences of such actions may be. Whatever trading style you use, whether it's day trading or scalping, the way you manage risk will still be decisive in the question of whether you will be profitable at a distance or not. Margin trading gives a lot of advantages, but most often it ruins newcomers who open deals with a large volume and quickly lose money when the price goes against them. The ability to manage risks correctly will help you stay in the game for a long time and be profitable at a distance. Focus on protecting what you have. In the pursuit of profit, traders forget about risks, forget about capital protection. It is important to remember that after each loss, the percentage of profit that needs to be returned to breakeven increases exponentially, depending on how much you lose. Fundamentals of Risk Management The market is changing every second and at any moment there may be news that will make the price go against you. The desire to risk everything in one transaction leads to the closure of novice accounts, instead, it is better to manage risks and stay in the game for a long time, making a profit. Anything can happen in the markets and it is simply unwise to risk everything in one transaction. You must remember: 1. You should not risk more than you can afford to lose. 2. Each trade must be opened with the correct risk reward ratio. (RRR) The Risk Reward Ratio (RRR) is how much you are willing to lose, compared to the expected profit in each trade. You should strive for a ratio of less risk / more profit. One of the best ways to manage risk is the 1% method. This method of risk control means that in each transaction a trader risks 1% of his capital. This is correctly used even by managers of large hedge funds and they do it for a reason. Do not think that only 1% of the capital can be traded. You can use at least all your capital for trading, but your stop loss should be no more than 1% - this is your risk. You can use leverage if you need to, but don't lose more than 1% in one trade if you want to become a professional. The Best Risk-Reward Ratio For Trading Before opening a position, you should know how much you can lose and how much you expect to win, and the ratio should not be lower than 1:1. A ratio below 1:1 means that you lose more than you can win, and this is an extremely dangerous activity that can eventually lead to the loss of the entire account. If the ratio is 1:1, you will be at breakeven, even if 50% of your trades are unprofitable. If the ratio is higher than 1:1, then you will be in the black, even if more than half of your trades are closed in the negative. Do not forget that it is impossible to win in every transaction and without proper risk management, such a game will lead to big losses. Do not forget about the rules of risk management, use a profitable strategy and act according to the rules, do not give in to emotions and then success awaits you. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with Like.

DeGRAM | GBPAUD breakout support. Short to 1.84The currency pair breaks the ascending channel downwards and was followed by the breaking through the support level of 1.8598. The uptrend is broken and most likely it makes sense to expect a fall. I think there will be a fight for the level, and if the price after that manages to gain a foothold below the support level of 1.8598, then most likely there will be a fall to the level of 1.8424 ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with Like.

UNSUCCESSFUL vs. SUCCESSFUL TRADERUnsuccessful Trader You are trading without a Specific Trading Strategy The main reason for opening positions for you is not clear strategy rules, but your own intuition. And even after several failures, you continue to repeat your mistakes due to the lack of discipline and the lack of a trader's trading journal. You often over-trade and get Margin Calls Your instincts make you trade too much, open new positions again and again, forgetting about the risk and thus getting frequent margin calls. Because of such disorderly market entries, you become very emotional, lose control and lose money quickly. You get attached to Open Positions Following your own emotions, you often hold on to an open position for too long, hoping that the profit will become even greater, while forgetting about the take profit that you set yourself. As a result, a profitable position becomes unprofitable, and you begin to believe and expect that it will become profitable again, overstaying the unprofitable position. You're Too Emotional Your mood changes with every price reversal. Forgetting about the analysis, you often open new positions and lose more than your risk management can afford. Successful Trader You have an Effective Trading Plan You have written on a piece of paper a strategy of actions for any market situation and always follow the rules prescribed in the strategy. You often analyze your trades in a trade journal and always remember your mistakes and hits. You Understand What Risk Is You have clear rules of risk management. Even before opening a position, you know how much you can lose in this trade and do not lose more than allowed by the rules of risk management. You don't move your stop loss and you don't act emotionally. You Control Your Emotions You clearly follow your strategy, leaving no room for emotions. Even before opening a deal, you have analyzed everything and know exactly what to do – you have a plan of action. You always fix a part of the profit You do not forget to protect your capital, so you close part of the position in plus or zero, and let the rest of the position grow further. Now you will not only not lose your money, but you can also earn. ------------------- Share your opinion in the comments and support the idea with Like. Thanks for your support!
