US based trading
@Richard Rutger @Justin Martin I noticed that you two guys are US citizens and I was wondering if you guys are actively trading? There are several challenges around regulations here that our overseas Traderfriends do not have to deal with. I met Aleksander earlier this year through one of his presentations and joined the community as quickly as I could so that I could start trading. It was a bunch of challenges to get started, but it is starting to produce results! I'm using micro lots, so it's not going to decimate me when I make mistakes, but I am confident that I will obtain MASSIVE success in time!

@Chris Borders check out ftuk.com. They are a prop firm for forex that accepts us residents and they have a very large list of instruments. Go to their FAQ page and in the search bar type instrument and it brings up a list. They've got the major and minor and exotic forex pairs they have commodities and indices. They have gold oil even copper and coffee and then it seems like every major index market in the world. Unfortunately they don't use meta trader.

Hey Traderfriend! It's a lot of numbers on that blue dashboard, huh? Don't worry - let me explain. Trading is like hiding in the bushes.. waiting for the perfect opportunity to snipe at the right time. Sometimes we are waiting a long time.. a few days might pass.. maybe even a week or two.. but what are you rushing for? You cannot CHASE the market to force you to print money for you.. that's the fastest way to a blown account. So, relax.. use the tools we have, sit back and let the market come to you. The blue dashboard indicates 0 CCR trading opportunities.. meaning I am enjoying my coffee, the sun and the beach here on the island. It's like the market is giving you days off - relax! The second picture is the only current setup I am in right now on the AUDUSD. Up some profits (around 600€).. but still pretty far away from the target zone which is around 0.665. It's a daily setup, it will take time!

I love the Hieken Ashi candles but I'm wondering if you have ever tried renko bars?
Regarding Short-Term Trading
Using the dashboard on lower timeframes does indeed work but one key criteria must be met to make it work: Time of the day. If we want to get in and out quickly we need 1. volatility and 2. must avoid high fees/spread and 3. should avoid news. So generally speaking around 1 hour after the NY open, we have a time window of about 2-3 hours that can be used for good volatility, low fee environment. If you want to check what 1 hour after NY means for YOUR time, check here: https://www.babypips.com/tools/forex-market-hours Cheers, Aleksander

Regarding short-term trading. I think you need to have something as a dashboard or a checklist to help you stay out of the market when you need to. I am a short-term trader and my rules are to trade with trend and momentum. There are so many setups that look good and you have to let them go because they are the lower probability ones if they don't have the bias on its favor

I think your goal should be to withdraw profits to fund your own personal account. But what I would say the most beneficial thing that I'm getting out of prop fitm trading is managing your risk. You have very small draw down allowances with a prop firm whereas you may be willing to risk more in your own personal account. So especially when you're starting out new, forcing you to do the right thing and manage risk is a strong lesson.
What about that 10K Challenge?
You remember how I started the 10K to 100K challenge a few months ago? Making good progress, using the dashboard consistently on multiple timeframes. We're at 23K now, way to go 👍

@Aleksander Wojciechowski I don't know how you're progressing on your challenge but it would be nice to have a little friendly competition. One of my mentors once had a 30-day challenge where you didn't focus on getting large gains you just wanted to get green every day. That is a very powerful exercise. It doesn't matter if you make 20 bucks or 200 bucks if you are consistently profitable that helps your mindset immensely. If you can get past your greed and try to make large gains you can build the consistency to actually make money over time. So my thought was just to get people involved and make demo trades so real money is not on the line and just force yourself to be disciplined each day. If you know your trades are going to be posted then you're more likely to follow the rules because you're going to have to answer questions about why you took a trade. My thoughts were something like a simple blog page where each member had a page and they posted their trades each day but it would be nice to see each person's performance side by side. Kind of like a bar graph.

I really liked my FX book but I am not using a metatrader broker anymore so I can't use it. I liked how it tracked your performance. I know that's a big ask but just a simple as a dollar per day and a total profit next to a member's Avatar would be good enough I guess. Maybe you can even incorporate it into this site. Kind of like a poll
