So if you're not yet profitable, you need to listen to these five traits and adapt them and adopt them as part of your trading plan. Let's get into that a more right now. Hey there, Traders! It's Andrew Mitchem here, the owner of the Forex Trading Coach. For video on podcast number 560. My Top 5 Traits I see in profitable Forex traders. So today I want to give you my top five traits of where I see, profitable forex traders what it takes to become a profitable trader but also independent profitable forex trader. you know, without copying and following other people all of the time. Now of course, when people are new, it's great to be able to do that. But over time, you want to be able to do this for yourself without the reliance on another website or another person. And that's what I call a successful trader. Now, I've been trading the forex market for over 20 years full time, and I've been coaching for over 15 years. We've got clients in 108 countries right now. So I've got a fair bit of experience and I've seen all sorts of different types of people come and go, and I know what it takes to become a successful trader. #1 They know and understand their strategy. So first thing is, number one trait of a successful and profitable trader is they know their strategy there now inside out, upside down. Now they may have created it. like I did. They may have purchased it like you can do for us at The Forex Trading Coach. a proven strategy, however it happens. They know and understand that strategy. They know it completely. They know the ups and downs of it. They know all the details, but it allows them to trade with confidence, knowing that that strategy has been proven over time. And so having that complete confidence and faith in what they're doing is absolutely crucial. You wouldn't believe how many people I get come to me that have got these strategies. And I asked him a question and they don't know the answer about it because they don't really know what it is they're looking for. And so the number one trait, you have to have a strategy that suits you as a person and as a trader and your available times, etc.. That's been proven over, you know, a long period of time to work across multiple market conditions and changing conditions. So number one, confidence and ability to trade your strategy is absolutely crucial. #2 They understand money management and risk. Number two, you have to understand money management risk management. You have to trade with low risk per trade. Forget about pips like people that make x number of pips or risk x number of pips per trade. It's never going to work. You have to understand the market and you have to, trade with a stop loss. That's, correct. For that time frame of the chart, the movement in the market right now, the pair that you're trading, etc.. So when you have a trade. For me, every trade I take has a very low equal. It's a predefined risk level as a percentage of my account. And so whether my account $1,000, $100,000 or I'm trading our prop firm with half of million, it does not matter. I trade the trade.
