Trading Education Thread time 1/8

There are really only two types of trading styles:

1. Mean Reversion Trading
2. Breakout Trading

All other "styles" are merely indicator-based trading systems.

This thread will specifically discuss Breakout Trading

2/8

Breakout Trading requires identification of four elements in order to be successful:

1. Trendlines (pattern based support/resistance)
2. Price Action (overall trending direction)
3. Volume (the amount of participants)

3/8

Trendlines serve as support/resistance like order blocks (areas w/ prior bull/bear struggle) & lead to patterns. Human psychology does not like randomness which is why there tends to be strong reaction at the extremes of historical reference points or anticipated patterns.

4/8

The mkt tends to test two extreme ends of reference areas for a time, leading to a distinct larger pattern or range. A misconception is that certain patterns are always bearish/bullish, but the dominant trend (~4-7x TF above yours) influences the eventual breakout dir more.

5/8

Still, false breaks occur quite frequently. Basic patterns like triangles often trap newer traders that seasoned traders/algos regularly exploit, especially in crypto. Frontrunning or chasing mid-candle breakout is at high risk of being exit liquidity for the counter dump.

Here’s FIVE Trading lessons I’ve learned after blowing Two trading accounts

I’ve found consistency in this market after learning these lessons. I really hope someone out there can relate to some of these lessons and become a better trader ✍️

Lesson 1: Journal Everyday 📓

Write down every single trade that you take. How did you feel when you were in this trade? What type of trade was it? Did you follow your system? What time did you take the trade?

If you aren’t big on writing use @tradersync

Going back and reading your trading journal will show you what works best for YOU. It will show you what time of the day do you normally kill it and what type of trades have a higher win rate. From there you discard what isn’t working and implement what is working.

Lesson 2: Have patience

Of course you need to have patience waiting for clean set ups, but the biggest thing you need to have patience with is this journey!

It takes real time and effort to build skill. That same approach you had waiting 4 years to attain a degree is the approach you need in trading. You jump in the game and see crazy P&L’s left and right, but you don’t see all the time and effort traders put into this.
