Specifics, the key thing is that you have a plan and setups that you trade consistently. its not the best idea to ask everyone else what they’re doing. cause you’ll end up with multiple ideas and then not know what to do, and if you start trying all these ideas out and without being consistant with one specific plan you will likely get frustrated when you cannot tell which one works best.
a plan consists of at Minimum; a Setup, Risk and management rules, Profit taking Rules, reviewing of trades (especially the losses).
a plan should also be backtested. this inspires confidence in the plan. if you know how effective your plan is during a losing streak (Especially historical Drawdowns) you would be less likely to abandon it.
the Setup is a usually a Trigger Variable on the chart, and supporting indicators. Poplular setups include Moving Average Crossovers, Price Patterns, Support and Resistance and Trendlines, Fibo Levels, etc. and supporting indicators include Stochastics and MACD, ADX, SAR, etc.
Risk and Management rules, Include Stop Loss, Maximum loss per trade. Max losses per day / Week / Month. The max loss per trade can be organised by Fixed Amount, Fixed Percentage of Account, Fixed Lot size. The best in My opinion is Fixed Percentage. because during a streak of losses the sizes shrink as the account shrinks, this allows the account to survive the longest. Stoploss is quite a personal idea. it needs to be not to close that you get stopped out all the time as natural retraction occurs. and not so far away that a large swing in the opposite direction is required to hit it. (or that it never gets hit), A good example is above previous Highs, or Support / Resistance points. Max risk per day / Week / Month is an arbitrary rule some traders use to preserve money, basically if you get stopped out Multiple times in a Day / Week / Month. (depending on your Timeframes). you stop trading until the next Day / Week / Month.
Profit rules, Until profit rules are in place, no system can be profitable. this includes Breakeven Rule, Trailing Stops and Profit Target. Break even rule is to move your SL upto the Same Price as your Entry. this can be when you reach a fixed amount of pips in profit. a percentage of your original risk, etc. Trailing stops are to secure profit in your trade that no matter what you won’t lose that profit behind the Stop. Popular methods are to Periodically take a Percentage of current profit. or move the Stop in Levels of original Risk. Finally the Take profit target. which would be the max profit to expect on the current trade. for example a historal point of support and resistance. or a fixed number or multiple of the risk level.
also reviewing the trade, this is where a diary is handy. noting what happened during trade (especially a losing one). this allows you to see issues that maybe keeping you from making more winners. (ie not sticking to your rules and emotional issues that make it harder for your consistancy).
Good luck in your trading.
