So let’s get into it. Hi, it’s Andrew Mitchem here, the Forex Trading Coach. Today is Friday the 17th of April. I had a live two hour webinar with my clients at this time last night. We had clients from 32 countries from around the world, a really good interactive webinar. Heaps of information shared, lots of live trades, some that I took myself and others that clients had open already prior to the webinar.+4.45% from trading the Daily charts in the last 2 weeksI also shared with my clients how over the past two weeks just by following my daily trade suggestions only, at only 0.25% risk per trade on a complete 100% set and forget approach, so that’s including staying open over non-farm payrolls, staying open over weekends etc., just a complete 100% set and forget approach, they have made +4.45% over the last two weeks since the previous webinar. Now of course if you wanted to risk slightly higher, half of one percent 0.5% risk per trade that would have been a nine percent return over the last two weeks trading just the daily charts, just copying the trades that I post each day on my website for my clients. Takes people five to ten minutes once a day and that’s it. So image that, over nine percent, +9% return in just the last two weeks.The Importance of having a Confluence of Events within your TradingNow on that webinar we discussed in some length about the importance of having a confluence of events within your trading. So what I mean by that is when you’re looking at a new trade set-up, and let’s say you trade like I do and you’re looking at candle patterns and candle stick analysis. It’s all well and good to actually find a potential continuation or reversal candle but to back it up you need more than just that, because nothing by itself works. You can’t just rely on just a candle pattern, or just a certain indicator, or just a pivot point. It needs to be a multiple confluence of events to give yourself a high probability chance of a successful trade. And that’s what we talked about, we were looking at not just the candle pattern but where does it occur within the chart? What’s happened before it and what time of day is it? Where does it bounce? Does it bounce at a certain level for a reason? Has it bounced there in the past? Has it exhausted prior? Has there been a trend line break? Do we have divergence? Do we have a bounce of a round number? All sorts of different things. Are we trading with the strength and weakness of the daily trend as well, or are we against that? So we looked at a huge number of pairs and certain time frames. We look at the daily charts, the four hourlies, the hourly charts and they even found a few five minute chart trades to share as well, because just because I like the longer time frame that doesn’t mean that everybody does. So we looked at all sorts of things, looking at some really good trade setups.Ensure you have a Trading PlanThe other thing I wanted to share with was I’ve had a few e-mails from people and I’m a little bit, a little bit scared I suppose you could say. I asked people on the Forex Peace Army site, “If you don’t have a trading plan, let me know.” Some of the results, I’m a little bit sort of concerned. This is non-clients I’m talking about,
