Building a Trading Plan

Building a Trading Plan

The key to becoming a successful forex trader is developing a sound forex trading plan and using it on a daily basis. One must remember that a trading strategy that may be working well for one person might not do the same for you. This is because everybody has a different style of thinking, risk tolerance levels and market experience. It is always better to develop one’s own personalized trading plan and modify it as your experience grows.

So, a trading plan should define a few things;

what trading strategies you are usingwhat pairs/instruments you are tradingwhat are your risk tolerance levels

The first thing it should mention is what strategies you are using. So if you are trading pin bars or engulfing bars off key support and resistance levels, then it should state this in your plan. If you find yourself trading something else like inside bars, then you know you are deviating from your plan.

The next thing it should state is what instruments you are trading. For example, you may be only focusing on the EUR/USD, or perhaps the EUR/USD and GBP/USD. Make sure to state this in your plan.

Lastly, you want to have your risk tolerance levels clearly stated. This is not just % risk per trade, but also per session and per month. This way if you ever go over these parameters, you stop trading for the month and take a break as something is clearly not working.

But the key is to have these clearly defined ahead of time.

Make sure that you maintain a trading journal which has logs of all your trades. This is important because it allows you to analyze your trades and the success of the plan adopted by you. It should include the entry date, entry price, exit price, stop, limit, total profit/loss, and final notes which are your personal notes on each trade.I also suggest taking screenshots of every single trade you take, and color coding them based on it being a win or a loss. Then at the end of the trading week, reviewing your trades to see how you did, what mistakes you made, and what you can improve/focus on for next week.The plan can have a checklist of what you are looking for in the market before you decide to enter a trade. A list of such prerequisites helps to keep you trading with discipline and avoid any careless moves.

The creation of a trading plan is highly useful as it reduces the possibility of bad or irrational decisions based on emotions. The outlining of a plan for every potential market action will help you minimize such decisions and thus your losses. The key to disciplined and objective forex trading is to establish a trading plan and stick to it.

Know the 3 Main Groups of Chart Patterns

That’s a whole lot of chart patterns we just taught you right there. We’re pretty tired so it’s time for us to take off and leave it to you from here…

Just playin’! We ain’t leaving you till you’re ready!

In this section, we’ll discuss a bit more how to use these chart patterns to your advantage.

It’s not enough to just know how the tools work, we’ve got to learn how to use them. And with all these new weapons in your arsenal, we’d better get those profits fired up!

Let’s summarize the chart patterns we just learned and categorize them according to the signals they give.

Reversal Chart Patterns

Reversal patterns are those chart formations that signal that the ongoing trend is about to change course.

If a reversal chart pattern forms during an uptrend, it hints that the trend will reverse and that the price will head down soon. Conversely, if a reversal chart pattern is seen during a downtrend, it suggests that the price will move up later on.

In this lesson, we covered six chart patterns that give reversal signals. Can you name all six of them?

1. Double Top
2. Double Bottom
3. Head and Shoulders
4. Inverse Head and Shoulders
5. Rising Wedge
6. Falling Wedge

If you got all six right, brownie points for you!

To trade these chart patterns, simply place an order beyond the neckline and in the direction of the new trend. Then go for a target that’s almost the same as the height of the formation.

For instance, if you see a double bottom, place a long order at the top of the formation’s neckline and go for a target that’s just as high as the distance from the bottoms to the neckline.

In the interest of proper risk management, don’t forget to place your stops! A reasonable stop loss can be set around the middle of the chart formation.

For example, you can measure the distance of the double bottoms from the neckline, divide that by two, and use that as the size of your stop.

Continuation Chart Patterns

Continuation chart patterns are those chart formations that signal that the ongoing trend will resume.

Usually, these are also known as consolidation patterns because they show how buyers or sellers take a quick break before moving further in the same direction as the prior trend.

We’ve covered several continuation chart patterns, namely the wedges, rectangles, and pennants. Note that wedges can be considered either reversal or continuation patterns depending on the trend on which they form.

To trade these patterns, simply place an order above or below the formation (following the direction of the ongoing trend, of course). Then go for a target that’s at least the size of the chart pattern for wedges and rectangles.

For pennants, you can aim higher and target the height of the pennant’s mast.

For continuation patterns, stops are usually placed above or below the actual chart formation.

For example, when trading a bearish rectangle, place your stop a few pips above the top or resistance of the rectangle.

Bilateral Chart Patterns

Bilateral chart patterns are a bit more tricky because these signal that the price can move either way.

Huh, what kind of a signal is that?!

This is where triangle formations fall in. Remember when we discussed that the price could break either to the topside or downside with triangles?

To play these chart patterns, you should consider both scenarios (upside or downside breakout) and place one order on top of the formation and another at the bottom of the formation.

If one order gets triggered, you can cancel the other one. Either way, you’d be part of the action.

Double the possibilities, double the fun!

The only problem is that you could catch a false break if you set your entry orders too close to the top or bottom of the formation
