Course content

4 sections • 24 lectures • 3h 46m total length

  • Introduction3:53


  • Where to start?7:33

    Our first look into strategy building. Section 8 is where the fun now starts. We will be looking at a few extra indicators here as well, some of the favourate ones I like to use. You will also see a live example of some of my trades. This would give a much more real understanding of what trading is like.

    It comes down to the fact that we will always have losers showing up, the key is to make sure that when we win, we win more than we lose. This is also why I can trade a system that only wins 30% of the time, but still brings in a monthly profit of about 15-25% per month. Remember, Hit-Rate means NOTHING to the success of a strategy, It's about the profits it makes you.
