I'm going to talk about how you can trade successfully if you only have a small live trading account. Let's talk about that a more right now. Hi there, Traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 572. How to trade professionally if you have a small trading account? I want to talk about a topic that affects a lot of you out there. And it's all about how do you trade properly and professionally. If you only have a very small trading account, you see, the issue is that a small account, depending on who you are and your financial circumstances, may be a lot of money for you. And you become nervous. You're not sure, how to trade. You're fearful of losing money and you feel it's not a sufficiently big enough account to make any sufficient and realistic money out of that account. Dangers of gambling instead of trading. On the other hand, you might be looking at trading, and you might find that a small account just play money for you. The danger of that is that you're likely to do something really silly, and you're likely to not understand risk management, and you're not likely to calculate a lot sizing correctly, or you're just going to gamble the money, or you don't care about stop losses or for trade on forex trades opened over a weekend, whereas maybe your strategy says to shut those trades, you might over trade and take too many positions. And so depending on which side of the of the equation you're at, the issues in some ways are still the same, because a small account can be hard to trade and to make what you call substantial gains on in terms of realistic monetary value. However, it's very important that you trade that small account as though it was a larger account size. Understanding correct money management and having a strategy. It's really important that you understand money management. Now, that account might be such a small account that the only thing you can do on your forex pairs is to trade 0.01 lots, and you may not have a big enough account to have really accurate, lot sizes. However, if that account is small, just trade 0.01 lots. Trade the absolute minimum lot size that you can. The other thing that you really need to, get correctly here is a trading strategy. You know, just because you might have a lot of money and you're just putting $500,000 in the can in this kind of play money, you're probably going to end up losing it. Or you might gamble in flukes and lucky trades, but without that strategy and that understanding of how you trade in the first place, you're kind of not doing yourself any favors. Likewise, if that small account is a fortune for you. Get yourself educated first. Either way, you have to have a strategy that you thoroughly understand and have confidence in. You have to have trades that have high reward to risk so that you can make substantial gains. But also it's really important. Let's say you had $1,000, right? And let's say that over time you made pick a figure $200 on it, and it might have taken you six months. The issue that you have there is that someone's going to go, Andrew, I just made $200.

I'm going to talk about the importance of trading with strength and weakness in your favor. It's going to give you a massively improved trading performance. Let's talk about that and more right now. Hi there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 571. Analysing Currency Strength & Weakness. Today is all about analyzing currency, strength and weakness. Why we do it, how we do it, and how it can massively help increase your overall trading performance. So you think about it in terms of basics. Well, if you're trading something that strong against something as weak. Logic would suggest, it has to add more probability to the trade. A real trading example using the Japanese Yen. Here's a classic example. Let's say the Japanese yen was very weak across the board. And you're looking at a chart, let's say it's the daily chart and you're looking at the JPY it's going up. You're looking at EUR/JPY, it's going up. The USD/JPY, the CHF/JPY, the AUD/JPY and NZD/JPY, USD/JPY, SGD/JPY, HKD/JPY, whatever it is that you have on your charts, everything against the yen is going up. So therefore there's massive yen weakness at this point in time. Now you're probably unlikely to go and take all of those trades even if they were suitable candle patterns, even if they had some round numbers to protect, stop losses and they had room to hit that profit target. So all the things that we look for, you're unlikely to go and say take ¥8, ¥9, ¥10 related pairs. So what you're prepared to do is analyze strength and weakness. Now, we clearly know that right now in our example, the yen is the weakest currency. But what happens if, say, the Australian dollar, the New Zealand dollar and the Canadian dollar were all fairly weak against everything else apart from the yen? So those are the commodity currencies and they tend to move together. So let's say you're looking at the AUD/USD, it was heading down, the AUD/GBP was open, Aussie is heading up. So there's Aussie weakness. You're looking at NZD/USD, it's heading down against the franc is heading down. There's a lot of weakness overall in the New Zealand, the Aussie and the Canadian. So that is telling us that maybe with our strength and weakness analysis that maybe that the AUD/JPY, the NZD/JPY and the CAD/JPY are probably not going to be your high probability trades on those daily charts that we talked about. Refining the pairs you trade further. You could also go as far as saying, well, let's have a look at, let's say the EUR/JPY and the GBP/JPY. Also looking good. You could go as far as say, let's have a look at the EUR/GBP and let's say the EUR/GBP was heading down massively big red bearish candle on the EUR/GBP. That again tells us that the euro's got weakness and the pound’s, got strength. So now when we go to the GBP/JPY, we're now trading a very strong currency with a very weak one. And therefore you may not want to take the EUR/JPY as well. So you might only be taking, let's say the GBP/JPYH, the USD/JPY, you might see the SGD/JPY, all the HKD/JPY yen or the CHF/JPY also good.

So you want to know how to pass a prop firm challenge? Let me give you some tips that can ensure you'll do that right now. Hey, traders! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 570. Tips and information to help you pass a prop firm challenge. Today I'm going to give you some tips and information to help you pass a prop firm challenge. So first of all, what is a prop firm? Well, there are companies out there that will give you money to trade on their behalf for profit share. Once you've proven to them that you can trade properly within that low drawdown criteria and then understand the worth low drawdown criteria, because after all, it's their money, it is not yours and you have to meet their rules in order to pass a challenge. Become profitable on your own account first. Now, first of all, I suggest that you forget prop firms and you go back to basics and you make sure that you are, first of all, profitable, all on a demo account and then a live account of your own. It doesn't really matter how big that live account is of your own. But make sure that you are consistently profitable on that first with low drawdowns. The reason I say that is that when you get on to the prop firm challenge, the numbers increase. You might have been trading a 5 or $10,000 live for kind of your own, and all of a sudden now you're on $100,000 with a prop. From now, sure, you start on a demo account, but the numbers can be quite scary to start with, and it can be quite off putting. So what you have to do is make sure that you trade your own personal live account in the same way and same conditions that you would the prop firm when you go on to that. Otherwise you just wasting your money and throwing it away and don't even bother start on the prop firm. So treat this real. Treat it like a business. It is, you know, serious stuff here. Keeping drawdowns low and your risk per trade low. So you open up your prop firm challenge and they give you 100,000 demo. Okay. They will probably have a rule such as, like a maximum 5% drawdown. Why? Well, it's their money, not yours. Today we're starting off and we're on a demo. I get that it's not real money, but when you go on to real money, you need to trade it the same way. So let's say we have a 5% drawdown there. That means your account starting at 100 cannot go below 95,000. Otherwise they close the account on the demo. And of course, the saying would be on the real. So what are you going to do to ensure that you have low drawdowns? Well, the most obvious thing is to have low risk per trade. I personally trade at an eighth to a quarter of 1% risk on trades on a prop firm. Why? Well, it means I can have if things go terrible. I can have multiple trades all getting stopped out at once or in a row, which, by the way, doesn't happen. But it could do. And I still keep within the drawdown criteria. Take your time and don’t rush the process. Now that also means that my gains are likely to be quite small, but that's fine. There is no rush to pass a prop firm challenge. Take your time and do it properly. Now you have to ensure that, of course, that you have high reward to risk trades so that when you are pr...

So you want to trade the crypto market, but you're not sure how to go about that? We don't have enough money to buy Bitcoin at $95,000. Let's talk about how we can help you to trade cryptos and make money from them. Right now. Hey there, Traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast him of 569. Bitcoin hits almost USD$95k So today we're going to talk about cryptos. A lot is happening in the crypto markets right now Bitcoin's hit almost 95,000 USD. If we go back just a few weeks ago it was around 65,000. So it's had a massive, massive increase, most noticeably in the last few weeks since, Trump won the US election. And in November, we have seen, the price of cryptos such as, like Polkadot and Dogecoin, some of doubled, some of almost doubled just in this month of November 24th. So there's obviously a lot of action out there and a lot of people wanting to go and jump into the wonderful world of cryptos. So you're wondering how me as a forex trader is going explain about cryptos to you? Because of course there are, you know, many complicated ways of how you could get into cryptos and had you mind things where you go for wallets and all that type of thing. How do I buy Cryptos. And you might also be asking yourself, how on earth do I buy a Bitcoin? Because I don't have $95,000 US sitting in my back pocket. And even if I did, do I want to go and buy a Bitcoin? This is how we trade Cryptos. So as a currency trader, I have a quite a simple solution for you. And it is this we trade cryptos such as Bitcoin and Polkadot and Dogecoin, in exactly the same way that we trade the forex market. We use the same charts. I strongly recommend you jump on to MT5 (MetaTrader 5) and you'll find, on almost all brokers now. A massive array of cryptos available to you. You can trade Crypto long or short. Now, the other beauty of that is you can trade short as well. So it's not like you're going out there and going, well, I'm going to go and buy Bitcoin now at $95,000. And I'm hoping it's going to just keep going up and up in value. But what happens if it doesn't. And it suddenly comes back to 65,000. Are you suddenly -30 grand. it's not particularly, good. fear for your heart conditions. if that happens. But the way that we trade cryptos, it's honestly, it could be the EUR/USD. It could be the USD/JPY. It could be Bitcoin, it could be Polkadot. It does not matter. And the beauty of that is we're looking at the same charts. We're looking at the same patterns to trade. We're still looking at support and resistance levels, round numbers. you know previous highs and lows, all that type of thing. Trendline breaks, divergence. All the things that we look at and the charts behind me here. It could be like I said it could be Bitcoin. That could be EUR/USD. It does not matter. And the ability to trade both long and short and have your controlled and low risk is to me the key of all of this. Taking advantage of the big moves in Crypto. And obviously there have been some big moves. Yes. Fantastic. And you know, you can take advantage of those big moves, but you're not in the investing, you know, tens of thousands of dollars in one thing.

I want to talk about the US election results and why I'm a technical trader. Let's talk about those topics and more right now. Hey there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 568. Trump wins the US Election with a massive win. So we've just had the results of the US election. This week has been a really good result. It's been a positive result. there's not going to be any indecision in the market now. we're not going to get any delay in the result. We're not going to get any court action and recounts and all that type of thing. So from the markets point of view, it's been a great result. And it's been a good, strong, decisive, positive result. And that's what the market needs and was looking for. Quiet price action leading up to the election. Now leading up to the US election, we've had a, like a quite a quiet couple of weeks, especially on the daily charts. And we've had that indecision and not really too much happening leading up to say, last week. And then the end of last week, we had the US monthly job news, and then the beginning of this week is all being quiet leading up to the election. Then, of course, you don't want to be trading on the election day with potentially, you know, big moves or spreads widening and then we finally got the result and things are likely to now settle down again. So it's been a really interesting couple of weeks. You see the daily charts have been and the slightly longer timeframe charts like the 12 hours have been a little bit more indecisive. Not much happening there. W1 and Shorter time frame chart trades However you take it out to bigger picture and the weekly charts. We've had some great results and then the shorter timeframe charts between, say, like the two and six hour charts, two, three, four, six hour charts. We've seen some great results as well. So it's really interesting that as a trader, you have to trade what the market's giving you at the time. Selling Silver on the W1 charts. And an example would be, we've taken a couple of, sell trades on silver at the beginning of this week. So we're talking, you know, like three days before the election results, we saw that XAG/USD and also, XAG/EUR were both dropping based off the weekly charts. And so we took sell trades on both of those. We suggested to our clients, we took sell trades or, they should, look at some sell trades as well. And we've profited from those trades. Now, as a technical trader, I was into those trades on Monday my time or Sunday from the US. at the beginning of the week. and so the charts were telling us from a technical point of view that Silver was going to drop. Now, how far it goes from now. I don't really worry because I'm out of the trade for full profit. and now we're looking for maybe another trade potentially might move back up again next week. Who knows. But we saw at the beginning of this week, before the fundamental results, we saw on the technicals that the silver was falling. We entered the trade. We've hit the profit target. Metals dropped after the election result.

Is trading for everybody? Let's talk about that really important topic and more right now. Is trading for everybody? Hey there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 567. Now, I've had a few interesting chats this week and I want to bring this to your attention and really want to say, look, is trading for everybody. the answer is absolutely not. And as a result of what I've experienced this week, I want to explain why I'm saying it's not for everybody. I received a call a few days ago from someone who lives here in New Zealand. He's not a New Zealander. Believe he's living here right now. And I had some doubts when I heard the conversation, and I ended up saying, look, I don't think you should do this. I don't think trading is for you. And certainly we're not a good match. he was, you know, it was all a little bit desperate, needing the money, potentially saying there was health issues. whether there was or not, I don't know, but, you know, it was quite a sob story, and I've only got $300, and I heard it all, and I go, you know, I've heard this so many times over 20 years of trading and teaching. This is not for you. You know, you're not in a position mentally, potentially physically, financially to do this. And if you jump on board, it's going to end badly because people like that, desperate for money, they're not willing to put the time in. Some people are just lazy. You know, people can be very lazy, you know, so they just want a copy. In fact, I did say to him, look, you should probably just go and buy yourself a monthly subscription to a signal service, because I don't think that you're the type of person that's going to be putting in the time, the effort, the commitment, to learn and now, important to note that just because you may not have, money today, that doesn't matter. The thing that we're doing is we're, teaching people how to trade properly, but you still need to put that time commitment effort into wanting to learn how to do it. If you can trade. You can trade on demo. You can trade on small live accounts. You can go through the prop firms, you know, there's so many different ways to be successful without needing the funds to date. Now, sure, if you come on board with us, you need some funds to invest in the coaching. You know, we're not at the giving, our time, our knowledge, our expertise. you know, just for peanuts. You know, we're posting trades every day without fail. We've done this since 2010. We're on webinars, forums, all those type of things and a proven strategy. So, yes, there has to be, you know, an upfront fee to do that. You know, we are not a charity. Let's be let's be clear about this. But when we have good successful traders, you will make your investment batches countless times over. And yeah, that knowledge, for the rest of your life. But coming back to this individual person just wasn't going to be him, you know, it wasn't going to work. And so the question comes, should everybody trade? Absolutely not. You need to be willing to work at trading. You know, you've got to still put the time, the effort, the commitment, the willing to have ups and downs in the market. You know, if you come on board and you go, oh look I'm not making money after one month. Well that's because you're learning. You know,

Should you trade the European and US Trading Sessions in order to be a successful forex trader? Let's talk about that a more. Right now. Hey there, Traders! This is Andrew Mitchem here at the Forex Trading Coach for video and podcast number 566. Which trading Session should you look at? Today I want to talk about trading sessions. A lot of people get confused and get this completely wrong. And they think that in order to be a successful trader, whether it be forex or metals or indices, whatever it might be, they think that they should trade what we call the trading sessions. Now the Asian trading session was just based around Tokyo. Then we have the London and kind of that into European trading sessions and then the US trading sessions. And they tend to be the times when this the most activity within the market. And people get very confused and they think, well, I should only be trading the London trading session or I should only be trading the US session, or make sure I try and trade both of them, and it's something that you do not have to do. I used to be up all hours of the nigh trading the US session. Now, admittedly, when I started to trade, I thought that's what you had to do as well because that's what people tell you you should do. But quite often in life, with most things and people tell you you've got to do this. The reality is that there's a far better way of doing it by ignoring what they say. And there's no better example than that. Then for me, living here in New Zealand, the London session is in our evening into our night time, and the US session is the very early hours of the morning. Utterly impossible and unrealistic. Impractical to trade. And just this week I've taken trades on the US30 and also on natural gas. Now the US30, especially being in a US index. Traditionally, I would have thought, well, that means I have to be up at 2:00 in the morning to trade when the US markets are open and when natural gas, slightly less of a, an issue, but again, not a main forex what you call like a mainstream forex pair because it's a gas and the metals, the gases, and the indices and a lot of the commodities as well tend to be based more around the US time of day. Not particularly useful when you live on this side of the world. But really this applies to wherever you live in the world. If you're living in, Europe, let's say you got, well, I can't trade the London morning session because I'm at work. you may be in the US and go, well, I can't trade the London trading session because it's like 4:00 in the morning for me. And so it doesn't matter where you live in the world, the same concept applies. Profitable US30 and Natural Gas trades. The thing is, with trades like the US30 that I took this week, and by the way, it was a very profitable trade. We had a 3.2 to 1 reward to risk on that, and we also had a 2.8 to 1 reward to risk on the natural gas, both for profitable. So great results. the point being is I took both of those two trades based off the daily charts, and I took them at the close of the day, which is 5 p.m. New York time. Now, the great thing is, when you understand, close of charts, close a day charts and the close of a time friend chart.

What's the best time frame chart that you should trade as a forex trader? Let's talk about that a more. Right now. Like. Hey there, Traders! Andrew here at the Forex Trading Coach with video on podcast number 565. What is the best time frame chart to trade? Want to talk about a really important topic about different time frame charts. What is the best time frame chart to trade? It's a an issue that so many people struggle with because they get confused when they look at different charts. And as an example, they may look at a daily chart and it looks like, let's say the EUR/USD is moving up. And then they go to a one hour chart and it looks like it's moving down and they don't know what to do. You get that analysis paralysis. Which one's better, which one's more reliable. Which one should I be trading. And I quite often get asked hey Andrew, what's the best time frame if I just had to choose one? What is the best? It depends on how you like to trade. Now, unfortunately, there is no one best time frame chart. So really depends on you as a person and as a trader. You see, if you're the sort of person that wants to sit there for 2 or 3 hours a day studying the shorter time frame charts, almost certainly taking a trade of some inscription then probably the shorter time frame charts are for you. However, on the other hand, if you like to do other things and you want to trade, say just monthlies and weeklies and possibly dailies and you like those longer time frame charts, then that's what you should be focusing on. But also for me as a trader, I think the important thing is to have a balance of both, because a lot of it comes down to not what you want to do or can do. What I want to do or can do. It's just it comes down to the market conditions at the time, and that's the real important factor. What is the market doing? What is the market going to give us today or this week for this month?
