Hello friends,

I'm here today to wish you an excellent weekend, great progress that has been made together, we've all learned, we've all smiled, we've all cried, but at the end of the day what does it matter?

At the end of the day, what matters is the power we have to build something that makes us stronger, and we receive rewards every day for our achievements, they are more than material goods, they are ethical values that make us shape our personality into stronger and more knowledgeable beings.

We're on this journey together, and I'd like to thank everyone we've shared this long week with, and next week will be better and all the others will be better than the previous one, so on and on until we reach the top of the mountain.

Hi Curioso,

Hey bro, how are you? I have a question: what's the best approach for entering a trade—right after the Big Sema arrow or after the 2nd arrow, considering the full pattern?

For example:
Should I enter once the Big Sema arrow appears, followed by the triangle, and then the 2nd dot?
Or should I wait for an arrow in the same direction as the Big Sema arrow, then follow the triangle, and finally the 2nd dot?

Sometimes, the Big Sema arrow signals a very significant move. How can I take a reversal trade if we're below the daily open and the ADR is also below the daily open? Or do you recommend avoiding such trades altogether?

Also, I have a big issue with managing profits. I often reduce my potential profit because I expect a bigger move, but then the price reverses and hits my stop loss. For example, if I take a trade with a 0.01 lot size and make a profit of $7 or $10, I usually move the SL to breakeven or lock in $2–$3 profit. However, when the price starts to reverse, it hits my SL, and I lose the $7–$10 I initially had. Do you get what I mean?

My issue for now

1. My capital is very limited, so when I win $2, $4, or even $10, it doesn't feel satisfying. "so if i achieve 200 PIP i get around 2$ for example "
2. I still need to work on building my confidence.

Tell me friend why are you focusing on xx$? Focus on the Pips/points you earn. If you had $7 that means you had 700 points. Depends on the day but 700 points on a 1 minute chart is quite a lot. And now think if you are able to earn, for example, 1000-2000 pips/points per week and so on for the following weeks, it means that you know the strategies so well that you will be able to enter not for 0.01 but, for example, for 0.10. The winnings in $ will then be much higher. Earn pips not $ sum up for yourself at the end of the week how many pips you managed to earn.

Hi Greg ,

I really like this approach and mindset—you’re absolutely right.
Honestly, my mindset often focuses on the dollars :D , but you’re right, and that’s exactly what I’m working on training my mind to do. Whether it’s $1 or $1,000, as long as it’s a green day, I should be happy.

Hello Greg,

Exactly i was write the same thing, because of that i never talk in money, because it's one thing to trade in euros, dollars or other coins, it all depends on what is the goal.

My goal is when i see the pattern i'm looking for, no matter if double up, triple up, or 10%, the important is understand and improve the entry.

Make a difference every day
Dear All,

I want to share my experience during this journey and help all beginners understand the pain and failures I went through. I’ll be honest with you all: I’m still learning, and I haven’t achieved my goals yet, but I have a passion, and I believe I can reach them.

Here’s my message for all beginners like me:
I’ve discovered something that might be true or might not, but I think it’s worth considering. You need to train both your mind and your eyes on every element. It might take months or even years, but don’t give up. I’ve been here almost a year trying to learn. Some people get it in just a week, others in 2 or 3 months, and some, like me, after a year. Patience and discipline are key.

Let me explain: every time you hear people talk about market structure, do you know why? Let me tell you.
The Big Sema arrow indicates the potential start of a reversal—either up or down. The Sema arrow confirms the direction of the Big Sema, and then you confirm the entry with the 2nd dot. The Sniper entry comes with a small dot.

Do you understand my point?

Note: Stick to just one timeframe. Don’t jump between timeframes. Master M1, M5, or M15, and avoid switching between strategies or versions. Stick to one strategy and one version.

Also, it’s all about your money management. If you can trade on a real account and have enough money to risk with a very small lot, like 0.01, then go for it. Trading on a real account will teach you how to manage your emotions, experience the joy of winning, and control the anger when you lose.

All credit belong to Curioso , XARD, Neroloft, Greg , and all amazing member that help me during this journey

I wish everyone success in this challenging career and hope you all achieve your goals.
