Summary
90% of you who read this will have emptied your accounts in a year. That's reality, it has happened to me and many others.
In the effort to become day traders, we face two big hurdles: one of them is our poor understanding of money management. The importance of associated concepts like margin, pip value, average price and leverage is often recognized after experiencing a margin call.
The other hurdle is the that almost all strategies we came up with are based on timing our trades, whereby the indicators available are not made to estimate the best time to trade, only the price.
In this webinar I will share with you the first steps in the creation of a trading model which aims to overcome these two hurdles.
Don't miss the second part of this webinar!
In the Premium second part of this special webinar, we will continue to build a trading system, one which is not based on timing techniques nor on analytical abilities. Its strength is based on pure risk and money management. Be warned that this session can radically change your view on trading. Part II - Premium: Register nowLatest Live Videos
