How To Make Money Trading Symmetrical Triangle Breakouts
A symmetrical triangle chart pattern represents a period of contraction & consolidation before the price is forced to break out to the upside or breakdown.

A breakdown from the lower trend line marks the start of a new bearish trend, while a breakout from the upper trend line indicates the start of a new bullish trend.
How The Forex Market Moves & How To Measure Your Trading Success
Day one of the position trading bootcamp. This is a 5-day forex trading course designed to help you understand how to position trade and benefit from the natural ebb and flow of the foreign exchange markets. In this lesson, we look at the course overview and what we’ll be covering. We also kick off with a look at how to measure your success as a trader and why you should not use pips for that, or indeed for anything! Then we take a detailed look at how and why the market moves, who the main participants are and how we can take advantage of the natural ebb and flow of the forex markets.
Multi Time Frame Trading Analysis, Elastic Band Theory & Trading Psychology
In this lesson, we look at multi time frame analysis and how it can help us to time entries based on the bigger picture. Using a higher time frame for our trade idea means the idea is generally better, as higher time frame signals are more accurate. We also cover elastic band theory, how the market expands and contracts when buyers and sellers enter the market and drive price based on exhaustion. Finally, we look at the difference between stop loss traders and position traders. How the psychology of trading with a stop loss causes most traders to fail and hop systems continuously.
Top Trading Indicators To Use For Position Trading Strategies
In this lesson we look at indicators, nothing but indicators (and a little sneak peek at strategy!). I go through all the indicators that make up my strategy and explain why I use them, how they work and ways to put them to good use and extract money as a position trader.Â
AUTOMATIC Support & Resistance + Propulsion Candle Gap Target Indicator
Here we take a look at the support and resistance indicator for Metatrader that helps traders identify key levels in the market that price is likely to head for. The indicator automatically draws in key support and resistance levels from the daily, weekly and monthly timeframe, meaning you no longer have to manually find those levels and keep adjusting them on your charts. When trading, you will notice that price moves to and from support and resistance levels constantly and creates large strong moves called propulsion candles which act as easy targets for price to retrace to.
How To Position Trade, Trading Risks & Managing Your Drawdown
This is the lesson where it all starts to come together. How to position trade and how to actually place your trades into the market. We also take a detailed look at risk management and drawdown control, as well as aggressive drawdown control to get out of positions that don’t go your way. Finally, we have a look at Martingale and how that effects this style of trading.
Strategies To Use as a Position Trader Explained In Detail
The final day of bootcamp covers the strategies I personally use to enter the market. Exactly what I’m looking for, what indicators I use for each strategy, and my exact entry and exit criteria. We also look at how the EA can automate entries with the strategies too and see it in action doing exactly that.Â

Why Traders Need To STOP Buying Courses & Their Strategies Fail
Markets go up, markets go down, you get in, you get out, it’s that simple! Trading forex or any instrument with any trading strategy is incredibly hard to master. Everything you learn is the same thing told differently, over and over again using different language. All trading strategies are rubbish and none of them work, not because they are no good, but because when it comes to entering the market they all have the same odds of success. Often this is nothing to do with the strategy and all to do with the trader taking the trades! The markets are random and controlled by banks, what makes you think a course is going to help you make money? Technical analysis is useless, and all the books and courses teach you how to get a 50/50 shot at a random result.
