Tip 1
Maximizing winners and limiting losers
When I analyze with Tradervue, my average winners have been 4 to 5 minutes and my loses two minutes, I was utilizing share size whenever there's momentum. I build a cushion, cut the losses and get out as soon as possible. You need to have that mindset and cut straight to it, focus on the next one. It paid out in this challenge.
Tip 2
On Discipline and Strategy
I focus on one strategy, replicating it every day, like this time of day I'm going to trade, as well as Tradervue for analyzing my trades. I can analyze where I perform well or what time, and what's my profit loss ratio, you can eliminate things that are not working.
Tip 3
For beginner traders
Take one challenge, see how it's like, doubting, but you never know until you take it. Even if you fail one or two, it doesn't matter, don't get demotivated, it's not easy and still you can pass it after a couple tries.
