Hey there, thought I should finally join Babypips once again, since this is the website that got me started trading FX five years ago.
I’m Max, half English half French - but I’ve been traveling non-stop for the last year and a half so I consider myself messed up because I don’t have a home…
Anyway, I’m looking forward to participating in this community and share the random lessons I’ve learnt over the years.
Trading wise, I only trade FX (I invest small amounts in equities too but that’s not my primary focus) and I learnt everything I know through babypips, finvids, infinite propsperity and falcon trading - (I don’t do affiliate links to anywhere)
I recently decided to start a blog sharing my monthly trade journals with entries and exits + random rants, would love it if you checked it out!
Honestly it’s amazing, but a lot less so than what everyone tells you it is
You still have to spend hours in front of the screen, be connected to internet when your alerts are triggered, not be partying like an animal every day.
The reality is a lot more “mundane” than it appears on social media, but it remains amazing
Hi Max i like your honesty and i hope i can learn a thing or two from you on how to stay profitable, been trading for a year now and i win and lose all the time haven’t been profitable consistent yet, don’t know what i’m doing wrong but i’m not giving up. and for any one reading this a tip or two will help this desperate guy to succeed.
This my trading style something that fits my personality? (as in are you way more chill (swing trading could be good for you) or extremely impatient (which is a not a great trait to have for a trader) where trading intra day timeframes could be useful.
The most important tip tho - in my opinion, is the multiple timeframe analysis, understanding what’s happening on the daily/weekly and on the hourly/4h is key, makes it easier to identify the trend
