[How to grow a small trading account (that nobody tells you)]
It’s easy to grow a small trading account.
Want to take $500 and double it within 2 days?
Want to make 50% a week?
It’s easy because all you need to do is risk a huge % of your account on each trade, and if the trade goes your way, BOOM—target achieved.
But here’s the thing…
Just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it’s feasible.
Sure, you can double your account in a few days. But, it’s also a matter of time before you give everything back to the markets, and more.
The solution?
Instead of looking for shortcuts, let time and money be on your side.
This means you’ll regularly add funds to your account and compound your returns.
A casino doesn't make money by predicting.
They manage their risk and let their edge play out—and it's the same for trading.
[Be realistic and know that you won’t make money every day]
Here’s the thing:
A trading strategy seeks to exploit certain market conditions in order to profit from it.
(For example, Trend Following makes money when many markets are trending together.)
But as you know, the markets are always changing. One moment it could be trending, the next, it could be ranging.
In other words, you’ll make money when market conditions are favourable to you.
When it isn’t, your trading strategy will lose money—which explains why you won’t make money every day (as market conditions change).
Trading one strategy with discipline beats 10 strategies without discipline.
Stay focused my friend.
[To be a pro trader, you must be willing to get your hands dirty]
Now:
Just because you came up with a hypothesis to your question, doesn’t mean it’s correct.
That’s why as a professional trader, it’s your job to validate your trading ideas (or hypothesis).
You’ve got to get your hands dirty and do the work like backtesting, forward testing, etc.
For example, you might wonder:
“Is a 10-week breakout better than a 50-week breakout in terms of returns relative to risk?”
Well, to find out you can do a backtest across a universe of stocks using these two parameters, and see which offers a better result.
To make your life easier, here are some tools you can use for backtesting…
Amibroker – A backtesting platform
Norgate Data – Data feed
Upwork – A marketplace to find programmers
Still, most of you won’t do it because it’s easier to solicit an opinion than to actually do the work.
The problem is, you’ll never know if it’s true, or not—that’s why you must be willing to get your hands dirty and do the work!
They say you can never go broke taking profits.
But it only takes one bad loss to wipe out a bunch of small profits.
[To be a pro trader, you must think independently]
One of the reasons why most traders fail is because they ask questions like these…
• Is exponential or simple moving average better?
• Should I buy Tesla stock right now or wait for a pullback?
• What is the best RSI setting?
You’re probably wondering:
“What’s wrong with it?”
Well, it’s a sign you cannot think independently. It shows you want to be spoon-fed so you can skip the “work” and go straight to profits.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.
Why?
Because in trading, there’s no such thing as “best”.
What’s “best” for me might not be right for you because of our different goals, timeframe, personality, etc.
So…
If you want to succeed in trading (or in business), you must have the ability to think independently.
So instead of asking “what” or “when” questions, learn to ask…
Why.
This means you want to ask questions like:
• Why did he apply this trading strategy only to the stock markets and not FX?
• Why did he use a 200-day moving average as a trend filter?
• Why did he use a 40% trailing stop loss?
Do you see the difference?
There are 5 possible outcomes for your trade:
1. Breakeven
2. Small win
3. Small loss
4. Big win
5. Big loss
Eliminate #5 and you’ve just taken a big step forward.
You can make excuses or become a profitable trader. But you can't do both.

[Why support and resistance are not lines on your chart]
Let me share with you a story…
In my early days of trading, I used to think my support and resistance lines are the best and the market will respect it to the pip.
But it didn’t take me long to realize my support and resistance levels keep getting breached, and I thought it was a breakout.
So I traded the breakout.
The next thing I know, the price quickly made a swift reversal in the opposite direction and I got stopped out.
So, I looked back at my charts and asked myself:
“What the hell went wrong?”
Well, it seems the levels I drew did hold up, albeit not to the exact pip.
And that’s when I had an “Aha!” moment…
I realized support and resistance are not lines, instead, they are areas on my chart. Here’s why…
There are usually two groups of traders in the market:
- FOMO traders
- Cheapo traders
I’ll explain…
Traders with the fear of missing out (FOMO) would enter their trades the moment price comes close to support.
And if there’s enough buying pressure, the market would reverse at that location.
On the other hand, some traders want to get the best possible price (cheapo traders), so they place orders at the lows of support. And if enough traders do it, the market will reverse near the lows of support.
But here’s the thing:
You’ve no idea which group of traders will be in control. Whether it’s FOMO or cheapo traders.
Thus, support and resistance are areas on your chart, not lines.
There are no perfect entries:
Breakouts may fail
Pullbacks may never come
Confirmation may be too late
Pullbacks may become a reversal
But the good news is this, you don't need perfect entries to make it as a trader
[This is the most important technical level one the chart]
Here are a few reasons why…
Reason #1: Losing traders hoping to get out at breakeven
Multi-year highs represent extreme optimism in the markets because most traders (and investors) are in profits.
But as you know, the price cannot go up forever. Eventually, it has to retrace or reverse altogether.
When that happens, many traders will exit their long trades.
However, not everyone will do the same. Some will continue holding, hoping the price could breakout higher to give them even more profits.
But when the market collapses even lower, they’ll regret not selling earlier as their open profits have been eroded and they are now sitting on their losses. They hope the market could re-test the highs so they can get out of their trades at breakeven.
Reason #2: Bearish traders looking to short the markets
For bearish traders, multi-year highs present an opportunity to short the market at a “high price” because they can reference the highs to set their stop loss.
So as the price approaches multi-year highs, the short interest from bearish traders will increase.
Reason #3: Momentum traders looking to buy breakouts
Momentum traders buy breakouts as the price moves above a certain level. It could be breakouts of a range, swing high, resistance, etc.
But what’s interesting is if the price breaks out of multi-year highs, it’ll attract attention from traders across different timeframes.
That’s because whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, long-term trader, etc. the multi-year highs will be something visible on your timeframe (and charts).
Now, whether you’re bullish or bearish, multi-year high is a significant level for traders.
If you’re bearish, then you can reference it to set your stop loss above the highs.
If you’re bullish, then you can look to buy the breakout and have your stops below the previous multi-year highs (anticipating that it could become previous resistance turned support).
(And vice versa for multi-year low.)

[The secret to using multiple timeframes like a pro trader]
I’ll be honest.
I didn’t figure it out on my own.
Instead, I learned it from Adam Grimes and Alexander Elder.
So here’s the “secret”….
When you trade with multiple timeframes, your higher timeframe should be between a factor of 4 to 6 of your entry timeframe.
Confused?
No worries, I’ll explain…
Let’s say for example your trading timeframe is the 1-hour timeframe.
So, which should you reference as your higher timeframe?
1. Take 1-hour multiply by 4, you get a 4-hour timeframe
2. Then, take 1-hour multiply by 6, you get a 6-hour timeframe
This means your higher timeframe can be between 4 and 6-hour
Does it make sense?
Here’s another example:
Let’s say your trading timeframe is the 5-mins timeframe.
Which should you reference as your higher timeframe?
1. Take the 5-mins multiply by 4, you get 20-mins
2. Then, take 5-mins multiply by 6, you get 30-mins
This means your higher timeframe can be between 20 and 30mins
