Method, Money Management, Mindset
Applying both a reliable method and money management strategy (that fits with that method) in a consistent manner will set you up for the proper mindset to execute that method in the first place. The mindset that is most effective is a relaxed mind. One of the biggest mistakes we make as traders is to think that there is something wrong with us when we keep making emotionally driven trading decisions that get us into trouble. Much of that is due to having no structure from which to make trading decisions, using predictive methods that rely on hope and belief, or thinking we should be able to jump in or out at every turn. In this video, I try to get across how method, money management, and mindset come together for me when I’m doing it all properly.
What Is A Trading Setup?
A trading setup is a set of conditions that come together in a particular way, indicating a probability of one thing happening over another. It’s like a weather event that happens when certain conditions come together in the atmosphere. First, we must define the conditions within price flow so that we can recognize them coming together and follow their process. The conditions we will use will be 2 of the market structure components that make up a swing. In this video, you will learn about the gap impulse and the shelf and how we can lean on it after certain conditions are met.
