Chris’s Trading Strategy
Key Lessons
[05:59] You don’t need anything other than a couple simple things and then from there you master your emotions.
[06:26] When you’re saying psychology or mindset, what that means is being aware of what you’re feeling.
[08:05] You need to know when to get out of a trade based off of what’s happening on the chart.
[21:54] Professional traders do not have a strategy. They have things that they know how the market works.
[22:25] Any strategy is going to get completely obliterated by the algos.
[22:30] If there’s a strategy that works, an algorithm is going to pick it up faster than you can, and it will be completely destroyed by the arbitrage.
[23:58] The market is not just going to keep trying to break the same high over and over. If it fails, it goes the other way and test the level on the reversed direction.
[30:31] That’s what trading is. What the pros do is they recognize their emotions.
[30:55] A stop loss is only for people who are not able to manage their emotions properly.
