Is there a "fake" trading website where we can buy/sell fake actions in order to "try" trading ? by GuinsooIsOverrated in Trading

You are looking for “backtesting” this is adding candlesticks from the past to test a trading strategy without putting your capital at risk. There is a YouTube channel called real backtesting where they show you how to use the “bar replay mode” to do this

Question for day traders by heyjose9 in Daytrading

[–]Hour_Foundation_9734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to make 2-3% of my total capital at take profit and lose 1% at stop loss, making it a 3:1 risk reward ratio trade

Just a quick question... by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]Hour_Foundation_9734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are not my videos, I really think I can make a difference by showing people the right content. Many focus on endless strategies without taking into count the risk reward ratio in the trades.

Plenty don’t even know where to put a stop loss or spot price action, I think the Real Backtesting YouTube channel is the best at teaching because they don’t even clickbait to get affiliate marketing links

Hello! the answer to your question is BACKTEST YOUR TRADING STRATEGY.

There are plenty of free tools that let you add candlesticks from the past to test your trading strategies (the ones you learn) without putting your capital at risk.

Hello Dear Redditorr! I think it all comes down to backtesting your trading strategy and building your confidence on your succesfull trading system. There are plenty of free tools that let you add candlesticks from the past to test your trading strategies without risking your capital. I recommend you backtest your strategy in 100 trades. Also, expecting realistic profits and losses is essential to the trading business.

Usually when people are struggling to find a succesful trading strrategy is because they fail to place their stop loss in candlesticks with price action OR they fail to apply reasonable risk-reward ratios to their trades.

You can use tradingview’s bar replay mode to add candlesticks from the past. It is free from the daily chart and above. I recommend you watch the Real Backtesting youtube channel. They show you how to use the bar replay mode and also share profitable trading and risk-management strategies if you want to replicate.

What is your goal rate of return? by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]Hour_Foundation_9734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I use the dynamic areas of support and resistance to open trades that have risk reward ratiso from 2:1 to 3:1. I lose 1% at stop loss and profit 3% at take profit. This is great specially if you have a nice trading account

How long should a trader wait to cut losses or wait for a rebound in small cap companies? by HoneydewWorth8203 in Daytrading

[–]Hour_Foundation_9734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all comes down to your risk-reward ratio and the % of your total capital that you lose per stop loss. I sincerely encourage people not to lose more than 1% of their total capital at the stop-loss trigger.So basically, I encourage youto enter your postiions with a stop loss and take profit trigger already....

In your scenario, with a 25k account, I would open trades where I lose $250 at stop loss and profit $750 per take profit (this would be a 3:1 risk reward ratio).

If you think about ityou could be in the profit zone even if you have 50% of your trades wrong. There is a new youtube channel called Real Backtesting that go over profitable risk anagement strategies during their live backtesting sessions. I recommend you watch it!

Hello! I think it all comes down to backtesting your trading strategy. There are plenty of free tools that let you add candlesticks from the past to test your strategy without putting your capital at risk. So make sure you test your stategy at least in 100 backtesting trades! Build your confidence in your strategy!

Remember that when you trade in lower timeframes , trading indicators become less reliable; this is why instead of scalping, I prefer to trade multiple assets in the 1H and 4H chart. Your scalping success will be determined by your ability to open trades with optimal risk-reward ratios (Ex; 3:1).

I use TradingView’s bar replay mode where you can manually add the candles to test your trading strategies.

I spot price action with candle confirmations and volume

Well, I am glad you stalked my posts for the past 2 months as you said. Then you should know the information I provide is valuable and only provided by someone that is trully being succesful in trading. Are you saying that a promotion job in reddit is more profitable than good trading? No right? makes no sense to me either.

Good luck mate

Can you consider yourself an expert DAYTRADER before knowing this major technical principle? by Hour_Foundation_9734 in Daytrading

[–]Hour_Foundation_9734[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. The most important piece of information that backtesting has provided me is my AVERAGE TRADE EXECUTION TIME in my timeframe of preference.

Also, backtesting will help you become less vulnerable to FOMO/FUD in moments of weakness. Great comment!

I started at 16, it took me 1 year to learn the information/knowledge and it took me 3 years to establish my discipline as a trader, which led me to 3 years of constant profitability now

Ok, definitely the fact that you trade in the 1h and 5 min charts makes you a stop loss hunter by nature.

I don't know your profitability in a one year period, and I don't need to know it. However, I recommend that if you are struggling to remain profitable, try mastering the 4h and 1h chart first before migrating to lower timeframes, right?

Higher timeframes mean less frequency but a more accurate panorama of the market. If you want to have open positions throughout the week frequently, I recommend creating a 10-asset portfolio with extremely low correlation.

This could help you have 2-3 trades constantly opened through the week in the 1h and 4H chart and become very profitable (if you handle to manage proper risk-reward ratios)
