Parallel Universe: Expert's Guide to the Art of Losing MoneyDisclaimer: Warning! The given tips are born from the minds of financial disasters and for entertainment purposes only. These are the results of the imagination of unsuccessful traders with a knack for making impressive losses. These master traders are known to make their financial mistakes by making huge losses. Unsuccessful traders are honored members of FRBF - Financial Ruins of Big Fortune with lifetime achievement of negative portfolios and returns. We do not recommend following the suggestions from the unsuccessful traders otherwise we have to add you to FRBF club. Well, well, if it isn't the tired soul tired of seeing green numbers in their trading account. Can you believe it? I always have seen a dream of world's biggest loser trader. Apparently, 99% of traders out there are making money, and we're stuck in the miserable 1% who might be losing. But hey, if you're sick and tired of making money, you've stumbled upon the perfect spot. Get ready for a wild ride as I unveil the secrets to drain your hard-earned cash and proudly join the prestigious FRBF - the Financial Ruins of Big Fortune. Buckle up, my friend! 1) Borrowing Money: You should borrow money from every possible resource. Remember that Saving money and working hard for financial stability is just for cowardly people. Debt is the only key to get success in the trading world. If you have bad luck, you can get your creditors good luck by borrowing their money. Imagine when your creditor will knock on your door, and you will be running and hiding from them! How thrilling is this! It's a surefire way to reach new heights of financial ruin. 2) Avoid Using Stop-loss: We should totally ignore those stop-loss orders. There's this fascinating study that suggests traders who actually use stop-loss orders tend to have lower losses compared to those who don't. who needs that kind of useful information? Not us! We're not beginners here, are we? If you use stop-loss, it will exit the trade when market sentiments are changed. You will never be able to make huge losses. Let's just toss those stop-loss orders right out the window and dive headfirst into the exhilarating world of uncertainty. Because what's more exciting than watching our trades go haywire with no safety net? So let's embrace the thrill, ignore risk management, and revel in the rollercoaster ride of potential financial ruin. 3) Hold Losing Positions & Never cut losses: Who needs to admit defeat when we can simply cling to hope and pray that the market will miraculously turn in our favor? It's such a fantastic strategy to hold onto those sinking ships, watching our losses pile up like trophies of our unwavering determination. Cutting our losing positions? Pfft, that's for amateurs who actually care about preserving their capital and minimizing losses. We, on the other hand, choose to ride the wave of delusion and hold onto our sinking investments with unwavering faith. After all, why learn from mistakes when we can repeat them endlessly? So let's keep clutching those losing positions tightly, and maybe, just maybe, the market will eventually bend to our will. 4) Avoid Managing Risk: Risk management will not let you become an unsuccessful trader. Forget about preserving your capital and protecting yourself from substantial losses. Let's just dive headfirst into the deep end and throw caution to the wind! So, according to your brilliant logic, let's ignore risk management and trade in five stocks with a 1:3 risk-reward ratio. We'll lose $3 in three stocks and $6 in the remaining two trades. Brilliant strategy, right? Who needs profits when we can lose money consistently? 5) Never Pay Attention to News & Events: Who needs to stay informed about current events and news when it comes to trading? Ignorance is truly bliss, especially when it comes to making informed decisions and understanding market dynamics. Let's just close our eyes and ears to all those pesky news articles, economic reports, and major events that could potentially impact the market. Who needs to know about interest rate changes, geopolitical tensions, or corporate earnings releases? They're just distractions, right? Instead, let's rely on our sheer intuition and gut feelings to guide our trading decisions. (6) Overtrade Consistently: Overtrading is the key to financial prosperity in the trading world. Forget about patience, strategy, and carefully planned execution. Instead, let's indulge in a frenzy of excessive trading and drown ourselves in a sea of transactions. Who needs quality over quantity when it comes to trades? Let's throw caution to the wind and execute as many trades as possible, disregarding any semblance of rational decision-making. Because, clearly, more trades automatically translate into more profits, right? Why bother with analyzing market trends, studying charts, or conducting thorough research when we can just click that "Buy" or "Sell" button incessantly? After all, trading is just a game of chance, and blind luck is definitely on our side. 7) Never Use Technical Analysis: Technical analysis? Nah, it's all smoke and mirrors, right? Who needs those fancy charts, indicators, and patterns to make smart trading decisions? I mean, who has time for that? Sure, by using technical analysis, you could potentially have a better sense of when to enter or exit trades and where to set stop-loss levels. You might even be able to forecast market movements using theories like Elliott wave, price action, chart pattern analysis, or volume analysis. But who needs all that when you can just wing it and tap the buy and sell buttons without any plan or analysis? Who needs strategies or insights anyway? Forget about those losers who waste their time studying charts and analyzing market trends. Real traders, the ones who consistently lose money, don't bother with technical analysis or any other form of analysis for that matter. They rely solely on their gut feelings and blind luck. That's the way to go! 8) Emotional Trading: emotional trading Is a brilliant strategy! Who needs logical decision-making when you can base all your trades on impulsive emotions? Forget about analyzing charts, patterns, or market trends. Just let your feelings guide you like a compass in a hurricane. Why bother with calm and rational thinking when you can succumb to the rollercoaster ride of fear, greed, and impulsiveness? It's truly a magnificent way to sabotage your trading success and ensure that your portfolio becomes an emotional wreck. So go ahead, throw logic out the window, and embrace the chaos of emotional trading. Because nothing says financial stability like making impulsive decisions based on fleeting emotions! Good luck on your wild emotional trading adventure! 9) Always Trust Unregulated Brokers: Unregulated brokers are the epitome of trustworthiness and reliability. Who needs regulatory oversight and investor protection when it comes to handling our hard-earned money? Why bother with ensuring the safety of our funds or verifying the legitimacy of a broker? It's so much more exciting to entrust our financial well-being to anonymous individuals operating in the shadows. Who needs transparency, accountability, or adherence to industry standards? Unregulated brokers provide the perfect opportunity to navigate the treacherous waters of the financial world without any safety nets. It's like playing a high-stakes game of roulette with our life savings! 10) Always trade on others' advice Trading on others' advice is the secret recipe for success in the trading world. Who needs to develop their own knowledge, skills, and expertise when we can rely solely on the wisdom of others? Let's throw out our own analysis, research, and intuition, and blindly follow the advice of random strangers on the internet or that "hot tip" from a friend's cousin's neighbor's dog. After all, they must be financial geniuses with impeccable track records, right? Who needs to understand the underlying fundamentals or technical aspects of a trade when we can just mimic the actions of others without question? It's so liberating to surrender our autonomy and decision-making abilities to the masses. It's a foolproof strategy that guarantees confusion, frustration, and, of course, financial ruin. 11) Never Ever Take Profit It's such an intelligent strategy to watch our gains evaporate right before our eyes. Why bother with securing our profits and protecting our capital when we can hold on to winning positions indefinitely? It's so much more thrilling to experience the roller coaster ride of market fluctuations and see our unrealized gains dwindle away. Let's ignore those pesky market indicators, trailing stops, and profit targets. After all, who needs a concrete plan when we can simply rely on greed and the hope that our winning trades will magically keep going up forever? And let's not forget the joy of regret when a once-profitable trade eventually turns into a massive loss. Who needs financial stability and consistent growth when we can embrace the unpredictable nature of the market and bask in the glory of missed opportunities? 12) Learning From Mistakes Learning from our mistakes and evolving as a trader is overrated. Who needs personal growth and improvement when we can stay firmly planted in our cycle of financial self-destruction? Let's ignore those pesky lessons that losses teach us. Why bother reflecting on our trading errors, analyzing our strategies, or seeking ways to improve? It's so much more exciting to repeat the same mistakes over and over again, expecting different results each time. Who needs progress and development when we can remain comfortably stagnant in our trading endeavors? Let's embrace the thrill of consistent failure and pretend that we're on the cusp of a breakthrough while repeating the same ineffective tactics. And why stop repeating mistakes? Let's add a touch of delusion and convince ourselves that this time, things will magically turn around. Because, clearly, doing the same thing repeatedly without learning from it is the secret to unbounded success. 13) Fall for "Get-Rich-Quick Schemes" "Get-rich-quick schemes" are the epitome of financial wisdom and stability. Who needs a long-term, sustainable approach to wealth when we can chase after elusive shortcuts to instant riches? Why bother with hard work, patience, and diligence when we can throw caution to the wind and blindly trust those promising overnight success? Let's believe in the magic of "secret formulas," "guaranteed profits," and "hidden strategies" that are conveniently packaged in flashy marketing campaigns. Let's not forget the joy of handing over our hard-earned money to these self-proclaimed experts, who undoubtedly have our best interests at heart. After all, it's not like they're preying on our gullibility and desperation for a quick financial fix, right? 14) Trade Based on Rumors Baseless rumors and gossip are the most reliable sources of information for successful trading. Who needs verified facts, data, or market analysis when we can simply rely on hearsay and unfounded speculation? Why bother with conducting thorough research or verifying the authenticity of information? Let's just blindly believe every rumor that comes our way and make trading decisions based on pure gossip. It's so much more thrilling to embrace uncertainty and place our trust in unverified whispers. Who needs to understand the impact of real market drivers or economic indicators when we can make impulsive decisions based on the latest unfounded chatter? It's like playing a game of financial Russian roulette with our hard-earned money. To be continued... :D Idea by @Money_Dictators on @TradingView Platform

Swing Opportunity on GBPNZDThe price action I've observed on the daily timeframe points to a very nice bearish sentiment in five key points. Price peaks in August by forming a range, which breaks near the end of that month. Consolidation forms shortly after and downside momentum forces price to break below the lower range boundary. This marks a technical trend change as defined by the crossing over the faster exponential moving average (EMA) below the slower EMA. Price retraces in October and forms another consolidation. In today's close, price retests the lower range boundary of this consolidation and holds below it; price currently exhibits continued selling strength.

Trade Reversals Successfully - Key Price Action to look forIn the video I talk through the two trades namely trading continuation with Trend and then trading Countertrend Reversals. Both have their own price action points but are very different. I review a continuation trade and the setups I look for when trading from level to level...but the main focus on the video is trading Reversals which can be very rewarding but also very difficult. I like to stick to a few key points when looking for reversals, and they are :- - Trade off an extension into a key level - Trade off a higher low (for buys) or lower high (for sells) - M pattern for entry confirmation or a minor lower high In the video I explain the reasoning and how risk is managed. ** If you like the content then take a look at the profile to get more daily ideas and learning material ** ** Comments and likes are greatly appreciated **
