Today, I want to talk about why I believe that in most cases, entering a market order as a trader is not a great idea. So let's discuss that topic and more right now. Hey there, Traders! it's Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 605. Avoid using a market order. And you heard that right. I believe that using a market order for most of your trades is not a great idea. And there's many reasons for that. One of the reasons, I think, that you should never really enter a market order is because what does the price right now mean? What does it signify? Most people find that they enter a trade because they happen to be at their computer, and they happen to see a set up, and therefore they just enter straight away using a market order. And the issue I have with that is very rarely do people find that that price has any significance. It probably doesn't have any price level. It may not broken through any barriers. And so by entering the market for most people, most of the time it means they're entering right now because I'm at the computer, I think there's a trade. I'm going to enter a trade, buy or sell. Learn what a pending order is. What I find, though, is that a lot of people do not understand pending orders particularly well. Most people, don't use them, and a lot of people don't even know they exist. So you can have what's called a buy or sell stop or a buy or sell limit. Now, I am a massive fan of using limit orders, so a buy limit means that you are buying below the current price and the sell limit means you're taking a sell position if the price goes higher than where it currently is right now. You can enter the position and let the market work. The beauty of those trades is it means you do not have to be there when the price gets hit. And when you think about it, if you're taking a buy trade and the price is at a certain level, and you're saying, I want to enter this buy trade, but if the price drops first, you getting in at a far better price. It means that for the when the price takes off and you anticipate it direction back up again, it means that that movement between where the market may be at the when you saw the trade and you'll buy limit order or the market needs to do is get back to the same market order original price and you're already into some profit and beyond. So therefore, what it means is your reward to risk becomes massively greater as well. You could simplify it and think of it this way. Buying at a better price. You're going into a shop and buying something at $100. I could go into that shop and say that when you drop that price later today to $80, I want to buy it. And it's a very similar thing to that. So if the shop doesn't drop its $80, you miss out on the trade. But if they bring that price back to $80 or $75, or you've bought the item, you know you get in at a better price and you bought the item at a lower price, then entering straight away in that example at $100. Helps reduce emotions. And so that is where you can use limit orders. It takes away the emotion of your trading because you're not like in the market scrambling now,

Today, I'm going to talk about why you should focus on your long term results, rather than worrying about short term individual trades. It's going to massively help you to become a successful trader in the long run. Let's talk about that a more right now. Hey there, Traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video on podcast number 604. Trading is just like any other investment. Today I want to talk about why I believe you should focus on your long term results. You see, trading is like any other investment. You've got to look at it as a bigger picture. And I find that far too many people get really caught up on, say, the last trade or the last few trades or even the last week's trades. And it creates a danger because, you know, in trading you could have a few lucky trades. You know, you could put some on that. Maybe not particularly. Exactly as your strategy suggests. But you get lucky and they end up winning. And you might have things like seasonal, time adjustments, time of the year when, you know, markets are a little bit flat or really, really good. And you've got to allow for all these things. Control your emotions. Because to me, there's two things you have to control in your trading. Once your heart and the other in your head, those emotions are vital that you can control them properly. And the danger is, if you're focusing on your last few trades, you can get massive buzzes and massive highs. If you've like, done really well and had a few successful trades. Likewise, if you had a couple of losses in a row and things just don't seem to be working out, you can get some real so lows and you're thinking, oh, is this just all doom and gloom and not working? And that is where I see the issue. Become successful in the long run. You see any good trader with good trading skills and a good sound strategy and knowledge will be successful in the long run. And that's where your focus needs to be. Because, you know, no investment is a straight line. Not every day are you going to make money as a trader? Not every week, sometimes. Not every month. And that's part of the overall, you know, part of trading that you have to understand. And that's where the danger of focusing real short term, can create so many issues. And that's why I find that so. And look, I used to do this myself years and years ago. I don't know, luckily, because I worked out what works for me. But years ago, I used to chop and change systems. I used to, add this indicator used to over optimize this, buy this bit of software, automate this, you know strategy, buy the next book, whatever it was, you know, you going on, you know, forum sites and finding the latest, greatest idea. And of course, none of them work. Chasing the shiny object problem. And so that becomes the, the chasing, the shiny object, problem that so many people have. And that's because they're focusing on, well, one, they probably don't have a good strategy and really know what they're doing themselves, but also they're focusing like what's happening right now. Is this a couple of losing trades in a row? Oh, get rid of that system. It's terrible.

Do you find that when you tell people that you are a trader or want to become a trader? They don't think that you have a real job, and they think that you might be a bit lucky because you can work from home or just work on a computer. I want to talk about that because I've experienced that a lot myself in the last week. Let's get into it a more right now. Hey traders, it's Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of The Forex Trading Coach. A video on podcast number 603. Is trading Forex a real job? I want to talk about the human psyche. I find it really interesting. Fascinating. You see, when I started trading some 20 years ago, I had a very young son at the time, and I'd finished being a dairy farmer because of divorce, and people looked at me a little bit strange. They thought that I was starting this sort of what what was I doing? I meant to be looking after my young son. I didn't have a real job. I was doing this weird, strange thing called trading on the computer. And I think a lot of people, you know, just looked at me a little bit sideways and thought, this guy's just lost the plot here. Why doesn't he go and get a real job? And then fast forward some, what, 20 plus years later and after just spending the last four weeks in the US on holiday with my wife for her 50th birthday, the amount of comments that I've had either in person or online, or email from people to say, you're so lucky you can do that. How to being a trader lucky? And I just find it fascinating, like lucky. How how is like trading lucky? I don't quite get it, but people just think that because, you know, you're either sitting at home on a computer or like, we've just spent four weeks traveling round on a road trip around the US. They think you're lucky. And I find it absolutely incredible. And I'm sure if you've been trading for any length of time, you probably understand what I mean. The realities of becoming a good trader. So I'd like just to sort of set the record straight about what good trading is. If you trade, you know, and if you're starting to trade or looking to trade, you need to know this. Good trading is not easy. Good trading takes a lot of time investment in yourself, both monetary and time wise. A lot of frustration, a lot of going round in circles. And it's not easy because if it was easy, everybody would do it, wouldn't they? And if it is easy to make lots of money, everybody would be doing it. But the trouble is, most people are just lazy and that's just the honest truth. You know, hard work, dedication, commitment, effort, those type of things. Sadly, a lot of people lack, these days. Now, I had a think about this when I was just thinking about putting the video together, and I thought about things that I've personally done and, you know, the enjoyable things and how hard they are. Good things are hard to achieve. So back when I was a teenager, I was a reasonably good cricket player. Couldn't bat,

So I've just got home to New Zealand, and I've spent the last four weeks trading and traveling around the US on a big road trip with my wife. I'm going to talk to you about what you can learn from my experience, and how it can help you when trading and traveling for yourself. Let's get into that more right now. Hey there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 602. I’m back home in New Zealand after 4 weeks in the US. Back in beautiful New Zealand. Back in the winter here. Lovely dark blue sky day. Sunny days. Really great to be home. But we had a great four weeks traveling around the US. I drove on the wrong side of the road for me, and I covered over 4000 miles or 6500km, and we visited ten states. Now, on that trip, I carried on trading exactly the same as I would have from home. Obviously the time of day slightly different. TFTC Coaching remained the same. But everything that I did was exactly the same as I would do from here as far as our coaching is concerned. We still had our live weekly webinars, our live webinars for clients to join in, European session and US session. We still posted our daily trades each day. We still had our form site updated and so everything carried on. Lessons from trading while on the road – see here https://theforextradingcoach.com/the-30-minute-forex-trader-us-travel-updates/ But from a trading perspective, what I gathered from that trip is you don't have to trade all the time to do really well. And so for me, I took some monthly chart trades. In fact, I've still got a New Zealand US dollar sale trade on. And this week the New Zealand dollar. In fact just yesterday just crashed. And it's really help that trade. But longer term on the monthly chart we have a sell trade from the beginning of August. Now if you've been following me you would have seen that I documented my trades that are taking on the monthly charts, the weekly charts, the daily charts and other time frame charts while I was in the US. So I'll put a link here. You can have a look at those 14 videos that I took while I was there. And you can see the trades are taken and the results of them. Less is more approach to trading. But it just showed to me that it doesn't matter whether you want to travel and trade or whether it's just normal life going on and you've got job, family, you know, sports, hobbies, whatever it might be, and you think that you don't have time to trade, well, it's just not true. You do have time to trade. Everybody has 24 hours in the day, but you don't need to spend so much time as you think, actually doing the trading once you know what you're doing. And so I looked at the charts at the beginning of each week looking at the monthly charts, and at the beginning of the month, beginning of August, we looked at the monthly charts and took that trade I mentioned on the NZD/USD And then each day we looked at the daily charts. Now, because that's 5 p.m. New York time. At the same time, the 12 hour charts,

Andrew Mitchem As you probably know, if you've been trading for any length of time, what time of year you trade can also make a big difference in your trading. Currently, summer here on holiday in the US with Paul Tillman and sometimes the summer conditions are not always the best, but we are heading towards the end of the northern hemisphere summer and, good conditions ahead. So let's get into more right now. Andrew Mitchem Hey, traders! Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach with video on podcast number 601. Trading from the US while on vacation. Currently on holiday in the US for vacation. Been here for a few weeks. And currently with Paul Tillman and his family here in North Carolina. Currently at Grandfather Mountain a little bit hard to see behind us. We're up in the mist at just over 5000ft. Andrew Mitchem Point of this video though, is that we're here trading as normal whilst on vacation or on holiday, and we've had a couple of really good weeks since I've been here. July and August can give us tougher trading conditions. And despite that, we are in the kind of the quiet time of year and Paul living here will know more about that. But northern hemisphere summertime, July, August can sometimes be tricky conditions. Andrew Mitchem But as Paul is going to explain to you, we're heading out of those conditions and into some good ones between now and Christmas. Paul Tillman Right? So right now a lot of people are on vacations, holidays, school is out. A lot of good weather. People are out traveling. So the volumes just naturally going to be lower. Not as many people trading. So the conditions are what are it tougher or more sideways price action? Not as much. In terms of defined trends up and down trading conditions are are okay, but they're not great. Paul Tillman Definitely see better. Earlier in the year, before the northern hemisphere summer, and we're coming into, a nice time here in the US fall all the way up to Christmas. We're trading conditions will be very, very nice. We'll have much better trends and, much more quality and high probability setups to pick.. Less trades but focus on higher quality trades.    Andrew Mitchem So the important thing is there is that although we've had some great trades, we haven't had a lot of trades. And so it's more about the quality of the trades that you take. And so each day we go through the daily charts and just yesterday we had two trades on the daily charts at the beginning of this week. Andrew Mitchem And we also had seven trades on the weekly chart. Paul Tillman Lots of those. Andrew Mitchem Yet the week before we had very few on the weeklies. But we did have a few trades for the month of August. So we're looking on the completion of a candle on the close of a candle, but we've been very selective on the trades that we do take because of these conditions. Andrew Mitchem So it's really important to remember it's the quality of the trades that you take. Not so much the quantity. We've been really selective on the trades we've taken over the last couple of weeks. Just two trades yesterday on the dailies, but seven weekly chart trades and not so many on the shorter time frame charts just because...

Now, Paul, maybe you could just give a bit of an introduction of yourself and how we got to meet each other and work together. Paul Tillman Absolutely. So, Paul Tillman, I live here, in North Carolina, and I joined Andrew as a client just over ten years ago. I tried to find red flags from a previous experience, and Andrew didn't have any, so, I joined in, and after two years, I said, hey, Andrew, I'd love to, help work with you. And, I have that kind of representative of, trading here for the Forex Trading Coach, in the US and, this side of the world. Paul Tillman So, it's been eight and a half years.

Just general coaching help. Trading help. Yes, sort to do a little bit of everything. Andrew Mitchem Nice. And one of the things with the 16 years that we've been running is that we offer consistency not into only what we do as well, but also the strategy. I think that so. The TFTC strategy has never changed.  Paul Tillman That's right. Yes. So ever since I came one and sort of history that the strategy hasn't changed. We've added things like a U.S webinar, we added our forum site and chat room area, that real community of traders. But nothing's ever changed. It's not the next shiny object. Or we do something for six months and then we change it. Paul Tillman None of that. It's the same strategy since the very beginning, and that helps with consistency. And you're doing the same thing every time, which look at you consistently profitable or retired. Yeah. Andrew Mitchem And the only other thing, I suppose we have added, because the nature of the market is there are more time frames available now,

What's it like to trade and travel the U.S. at the same time? I'm in Nashville. I'm going to update you with some great results that we've had in the last two weeks since we've been here. Let's get into that a more right now. Trading while on holiday travelling the US. Hey traders! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach video in podcast number 599. I hope you can hear me. All right. With the background noise here. I'm just off Broadway in Nashville in the U.S. we've been over here for almost two weeks, and I've been documenting my trades that I've been taking just once a day for literally five minutes. And the market's been fairly quiet both week so far since I've been here on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. But, sort of Wednesday and Thursday and Friday especially, it's just really taking off and we've had some excellent trades. Results from the first 2 weeks. So if you did nothing else and just followed the trades that I took last week, and you had a risk of just half of 1% for trade, you'd have made a 4.4% account gain. This week so far, and I'm recording this on Wednesday evening here in the U.S. and of course, we've still got probably the best trading, conditions to come for the week so far. We're up 2.5% so far, and that's just trading daily charts. I've taken a two hour trade and, an eight hour trade and a 12 hour trade this week, and that's it. So very little action happening on the charts. But when we've had the trades setting up that we've taken off been incredibly good. Trading and travelling in Europe too.   And so if you've been following me for some time, you didn't know that a number of years ago. I did exactly the same as this on a trip around the UK, in Europe with my family. This time we're here in the US, for my wife's 50th birthday. Just the two of us having an awesome time. I've done over 2000 miles so far in two weeks, so it's a lot of driving as well. You kind of forget how big this place is, but my point being is that it doesn't matter whether you're traveling around the US or around Europe or traveling anywhere, it doesn't really matter. You could just say, well, I'm going to be at home doing normal things. I could be, you know, doing normal work or family riding things. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter. The point being is that you can trade and do incredibly well with very low risk per trade, low drawdowns on either your own account or if you prop firms is your thing, whatever it whatever works for you, your normal life can carry on and you can just trade once a day. Follow what we do. Get to learn how to do that for yourself, and whether you want to do cool things like this, you know whether the place is buzzing. You know it's early hours of the evening. It's only 7:00 here local time. 30 minutes of trading in the week It's fantastic to be able to travel around the world, literally spend 30 minutes in a week, tops. Follow long here https://theforextradingcoach.com/the-30-minute-forex-trader-us-travel/ Absolutely tops. And have results like that 4.4% last week, 2.5% so far. This week on close trades. But you know, who knows what this end, week might end up with. But what I'm going to do is keep documenting those trades,

In today's video, I'm going to talk about how you can trade and travel at the same time and enjoy both. So let's get into that and more right now. Hi there. Traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 597. Trading and travelling. Today I want to talk all about trading and traveling. I'm here in New Zealand still. Although it's the middle of winter it's a stunning day. But by the time you get to watch this video, I'm going to be in Texas and we are in the States for several weeks for my wife's 50th birthday, and we're doing a tour of the US. And while I'm in the US, I'm going to be trading and traveling and I'm going to be documenting that process so you can see how easy it is with my strategy to be able to trade while you are traveling, while you're enjoying a holiday or vacation, or whether it's just normal life with, you know, everything that happens with work and jobs and kids, hobbies, etc. Follow me on my 4 weeks road trip around the US. What I want to show you is whether it is traveling or not, whatever it might be that you want to do, you can trade at the same time and you're not getting in the way of you're traveling and you're trading doesn't take all day. So that's what I want to show you. But by the time you get to watch this video, all being well, I will be in Texas. And because today when you see this video will be a Monday, we would have looked through the weekly charts and the daily charts, and it would have taken us 20 minutes that say tops and place the trades, and that's it for the day. And then during the week, each day I'll be looking at the, daily charts again, just at exactly the same as normal. Apart from it's just a different local start time because I'll be in the US. It will be in the evening or afternoon time. 5 p.m. New York time is when the daily charts change over. So for me, normally that's, the morning of the next day here in New Zealand, but because I'll be on that time zone or close to that time zone, it'll be in the afternoon when I'm seeing those trades and placing those trades. Where you live is irrelevant.    Now, it doesn't matter where you live in the world, because the way that we trade using my strategy is that we use limit orders. So you don't have to be there at 5 p.m. New York time. And again, I'm going to show you that because there will be some days over the next few weeks while I'm in the US, that there'll be other things happening. I'll be doing something, I'll be traveling, whatever it might be, that I cannot be at my computer at 5 p.m.. And it doesn't matter, because later on that afternoon or evening I can still go and place the trades. And that's the beauty of the way that we trade using my strategy. So I want to document that.

Andrew Mitchem If you're on a $10,000 prop firm, you know, you you're risking quite tiny amounts, but that's fine, you know? But just go very, very small because just don't get stopped out and you'll eventually, you know, if you're trading good enough, you'll eventually get to that profit target. Talking prop firm challenges with Etienne Crete. Etienne Crete Sitting down today with Andrew Mitchem. we want to do an episode specifically about prop firms and what it takes to become a funded trader, but also kind of scale things up. And you get to the next level of performance to scale it up to, we can make more money trading with more capital. So Andrew welcome back on the podcast. Continue here. Etienne Crete Let's start with this. I actually get people who reach out to you and kind of ask you about prop firms and how they should go about it. What's your first train of thought into what is the right time to go for prop firm? Horror stories from traders starting a prop firm too early.    Andrew Mitchem Okay, I find that so many people tell me stories. In that kind of horror stories, they jump in too quick. And I think people aren't doing it realistically. They jump in because they see it as maybe I don't have enough money myself. And it's a it's a good way of potentially earning funds and, and commissions, etc., but they don't have any, background into trading properly themselves. Andrew Mitchem You know, they don't have a strategy, the confident in them. And they have proven themselves first. And I think that's the pitfall that too many people jump into. Etienne Crete Definitely like trying to get capital before you are profitable trader. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. I mean, I just tell people maybe you look at it and, you know, 6 to 12 months time, be real about this. Yes, look prop firm can be absolutely fantastic once you know what you're doing. But spend some time upfront to learn the process of trading. Forget how much money you make. Don't even look at money. Andrew Mitchem Just understand the process of trading. You know, low risk, etc., low drawdowns, because ultimately that's the thing. It's going to get you through a pot firm. And if you don't understand that hitting that drawdown criteria is what's going to make you lose your money. Etienne Crete How do you someone interested in the process? Because a lot of people are going to, of course, focus on the outcome, trying to get the result, how do you get them to, first of all, follow the process? But they kind of have to be interested in then involved in it too. Andrew Mitchem How to start trading on a prop firm account. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, it's a tricky one because everybody wants the results and everybody wants the money. I suppose all I can do is probably a little bit like is keep going on and on and on with the same story, because ultimately that's the best way you're going to get a result. You know,
