What are your go-to risk management strategies? Hi everyone, I’ve been reflecting on how crucial risk management is in trading, and I want to learn from your experiences. I mean, it's pretty obvious that it is important, but I think there is varied perceptions of exactly HOW important. I’m interested in finding out about the strategies you rely on, such as: * **Stop-Loss Techniques:** Do you use fixed stop-loss orders, trailing stops, or any other method to protect your positions?

Guru check There is a YouTuber named "Evan Dyer" who claims to be profitable. His videos are always about the same trading style or strategy. In his videos, he analyzes the market after the charts have already formed and uses the RR tool to show that he took those trades during the day (he only trade indices future). He also shows his *TradeZella* dashboard, which looks top-notch, and he is currently on a 27-day winning streak. However, he has never shared a live trade, even though he claims to trade live... 5 0 replies

Already profitable?? Been learning day trading for about a week and I'm profitable on a demo with a 70% win rate over 40 trades. Am I getting lucky?

need your help Hello! I've been learning about crypto and Bitcoin for several months now. I learned price action and classical technical analysis, but unfortunately most of my trades have been disappointing. I analyze and get positive indicator signals, but sadly the trades end up failing. Then I heard about Volume Profile and SMC, and understood that the market is controlled by big players. Therefore, technical analysis isn't very useful against whales and others, and it's better to just follow their operations. So now I'm confused. Should I stick with technical analysis... 5 0 replies
