  Picture yourself at a tennis match. You're watching an intense 'rally' as opponents dance with each other from opposite baselines—exchanging shots across the court. With each return, anticipation mounts—who'll deliver the knockout blow?   Jump the gun and you risk losing the point. Instead the strategic way is to let mounting evidence show you the perfect moment. Then without hesitation execute an attacking knockout play. Correct?    Can you see and hear why tennis is a great analogy to trading? You have an opponent. You press when you can catch your opponent off gu ..read more

   You want to be right, right? And why is that?   It's a chicken and egg thing...   At an unconscious level, your human psyche is naturally tilted towards loss aversion. But it's what happens next...   When you first enter the world of trading you're at your most inexperienced. Correct?    So it's precisely when your trading ear tunes into what sounds good at first sight rather than what actually works or makes sense. Agree?   Bombarded with hundreds of trading systems and services promoting incredibly high winning percentages — your new logic says the ..read more

   In a minute, you'll uncover the key benefits of leveraging multiple evidence points in trading. But first: To provide you with some context - what better way than to incorporate a real-trading example as follows: Below you can see the same short entry using three chart variations. The numbers one to five we'll come to shortly.   To lay the foundation: Imagine a level you can't see on a naked chart - neither highs or lows or support or resistance. But despite the price moving freely above and below this level for days now - what's unique about this level is most market part ..read more

  A lack of evidence often accompanies poor trades. Trading with insufficient evidence leads to increased outcome variability due to omitting various crucial circumstances. What comes next? Excessive variability hinders the development of reliable and consistent trading strategies. But it also takes an emotional toll. This lack of evidence fuels indecision and anxiety during trades, making an already challenging endeavour even more demanding.

  Is what you're doing unique? And why ask?   Because your success hinges on your ability to uncover unique opportunities hidden from the crowd.   Why? Trading is a competitive endeavour.  So you only succeed in trading by beating the competition. And you can't do that if you join them. Make sense?    How do you do that? One way is to focus on a single instrument.   Even though you might feel the need to scan the market far and wide for opportunities - it's the wrong approach and here's why:   Looking at many markets is surface-deep.

   Let's dive in...   First: We want the trading to align with the core business - providing liquidity to unsuspecting traders who find themselves offside and forced to exit losing trades.    What next? We need a unique trade idea the crowd isn't aware of. An idea people are unsuspecting of that leads to them urgently having to exit losing trades.     The idea: Early into the trading session, there's an eagerness for the long side as per the comparison between aggressive buyers and sellers.    It makes sense because the positioning of commercia ..read more
