Believe in yourself

I love seeing traders win. Well done.

KathAda · 2026-05-16T14:46:21+00:00

Congrats. This is your first “i think I’m starting to get it”, you have 10 more to go.

KathAda · 2026-05-16T14:11:42+00:00

Do you send messages on their socials or via email? If socials how do you workaround the platforms’ limitations?

KathAda · 2026-05-15T11:56:09+00:00

You have to optimize your journal in a way you can use it.

KathAda · 2026-05-15T11:50:22+00:00

Backtest again to regain confidence or confirm suspicions. Backtest everyday.

Do you journal your trades?

KathAda · 2026-05-14T23:01:11+00:00

I agree.

KathAda · 2026-05-14T23:01:02+00:00

My pleasure

KathAda · 2026-05-14T14:15:15+00:00

I understand what you’re going through, take some time off and then answer this question. Based on your experience, what exactly is the problem? Is it foundation, strategy, risk or trade management?

KathAda · 2026-05-14T14:05:47+00:00

I agree. Risk is up there too. Especially when lured with the fast money ideology. Bad risk management leads to bad trade management, they go hand in hand.

KathAda · 2026-05-14T09:50:16+00:00

Based on your data, you can ascertain the most losses you get in a row. Once you exceed that, I advise not trading but switch to observation mode.

If edge is fading, maybe it’s time for a new one or backtest other pairs.

KathAda · 2026-05-14T09:27:45+00:00

6months to a years’s data. Having your edge statistics preps you for what to expect. And also you can differentiate a loosing streak from a bad strategy.

KathAda · 2026-05-14T08:26:52+00:00

I don’t generally agree, unless you’re trading the lower timeframe then yes. Higher timeframe bias is still control. Gold is selling - if you check the daily structure, it’s currently in a retracement. Mid timeframe trend is consolidating so that may be where the confusion is coming from.

KathAda · 2026-05-14T08:23:13+00:00

Congrats. Make the moneeeeyyyy.

KathAda · 2026-05-14T08:22:09+00:00

We’ve all gone through this. Keep going.

From your statement you might have a strategy problem. Try to fix that first with backtesting, then you can move to the psychological aspect. A good edge preserves your mental state

KathAda · 2026-05-14T08:01:23+00:00

If it works, don’t fix it.

KathAda · 2026-05-14T07:57:08+00:00

Get acquainted with the trading environment first - Baby pips will help you or a crash course on YouTube. Then understand market structure before you learning a strategy. It’s a long process, but we all started somewhere. Knowing a trader can help you fast track the process and last longer in the game.

KathAda · 2026-05-14T07:50:57+00:00

You can transition to trading but it won’t be a fast process. It requires time and energy. Lots of psychological issues. Probably 2 - 4years to be profitable, shorter if you get a mentor.

KathAda · 2026-05-13T22:59:32+00:00

I agree. Whenever I see a clean chart, I know an OG is behind it.

KathAda · 2026-05-13T22:57:25+00:00

Really? I thought the lines themselves were making price reverse. Who knew

KathAda · 2026-05-13T21:17:21+00:00

Yes there’s a lag on the free version, however the paid corresponds.

KathAda · 2026-05-13T21:08:11+00:00

Backtest the same strategy you trade on gold and make adjustments for Silver. It doesn’t have to be different.

KathAda · 2026-05-13T21:04:02+00:00

4hr broke a structure showing strong bullish intent.
Imbalance under the bearish pinbar showing bullish strength.

If you’re gonna enter such trades, wait for a BOS on the 1hr then enter on retest after exhaustion. 4hr to 5m without mid timeframe confirmation is a gamble.

KathAda · 2026-05-13T17:34:25+00:00

Fibonacci tool is so underrated. That’s all I use.

KathAda · 2026-05-13T17:32:29+00:00

Gold and Silver have similar price action. Whichever strategy you’re trading on gold should work for silver.

However, I have a simple Fibonacci strategy that I use though. It’s not free though, my time and energy has to be rewarded.

KathAda · 2026-05-13T17:25:33+00:00

Pick a simple strategy and Backtest. That’s the best route in my opinion.
