That’s a big reason candlesticks caught on so fast. They turned price into something you could read at a glance instead of staring at raw numbers. Once traders realized they could see momentum, hesitation, and pressure visually, it just clicked. It made price action feel more intuitive...

That usually happens when people don’t spend enough time exploring how the market actually behaves. Just because it’s open all day doesn’t mean it’s active all day. Once you understand which sessions bring real volume and which ones are mostly noise, a lot of those random losses start to make...

It gets a lot easier once you accept that news is part of the market, not a disruption. The chart can still be valid, you just adjust the plan around timing. When you know the market is likely to get jumpy, you either step aside or trade smaller, and that alone saves a lot of good setups from...

It’s less about the tools and more about the process. A clean chart, a solid calendar, and a simple way to size risk is usually enough. Once you start stacking tools, it’s easy to confuse more info with better decisions. I’d rather keep it boring and consistent than chase the perfect indicator...

Hey traders, how have you all been? Is trading going well?

I’d recommend - Work on your emotions - use leverage but not over do it. -have a decent strategy -risk management -seek a mentor -practice and preach These would work for anybody!

Well if you ask me, the most common emotions I encountered during my initial phase of my trading career were anxiety and fear.But actually now, I have learned to control my emotions and not let them dictate my decisions. I always make sure to do my research and only enter into trades that have a...
