    Totally agree. I tried for months to trade the 5M charts, and nearly drove myself nuts. I was stressed out all the time and hating life. I was lured in by the quicker profits and by a trading system that worked well for the person I bought it from. But I finally had to admit it didn't work well for me because my personality and life situations are very different from this trader's. I swallowed my pride and went back to the daily chart and I am SO much happier. The extra time to plan my trades, combined with the between half an hour and an hour that I spend per day looking at the charts, are so much better for my trading psychology and outlook in general.

    This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. This is the struggle I'm kinda dealing with. Then if I switch to swing trading I still keep thinking of swing trading tge 1 or 5 min chart. It just blows my mind to use a 4 hr or 24 hr chart cuz in my mind I would feel bored. And how do you create a stop loss they may not be needed till end of the week. And when would someone take profit? After 1 week? 1 month? I assume swing trading needs to be big amounts of money if your only gonna get paid out from a trade only once or twice a month?

    I think when u a new trader u have the excitment of getting involvd in the markets each and everyday. And seing urself making money in few minutes or hours. What we forget ad new traders is that we exposing our capital more with this mentality. Whereas finding that 1 perfect trade once a week atleast, that keeps u away from blowing accounts consistantly If we can be honest, most blown accounts comes from these in and outs of the markets everyday.

    Yep. And ditch the indicators too. That's just a big trap for new traders. Every market behaves differently, and some settings may not work for some markets or market conditions, and you'll find yourself tweaking settings endlessly to overfit your strategy. Clean price acion with breaks and retests are the best, especially in JPY pairs, because the fundamentals that drive JPY pairs create nice technical trends. It has to do with the Yen having negative interest rates, while other currencies have positive interest rates, so as long as there's no economic slowdown or fear in the rival currency, JPY pairs tend to trend upwards.

Still if i see a strong trend i wouldn't hesitate to get involved but i usually keep them only high probability and filter out the valid setups.

    Swing trading is definitely the way to go. Day trading is not for beginners or even some intermediate traders. You make bad decisions, you overtrade, lose money repeatedly, get caught in news, gaps, session opens and closes, etc. Swing trading allows you to relax, analyse and just trade simple clean breaks and retests. It also allows you to focus on the economics, so you have a fundamental confluence to enter a trade instead of some random indicator on a random time frame with random settings telling you to buy or sell. Swing trading saves money and makes money. Teaches you patience and discipline as well 👍

    Awesome video! I'm in Los Angeles, and by the time I get home from work every evening, I'm in the middle of the Asia session, which we all know is renowned for it's poor activity... So I've been staying up for London open (midnight here) and trading a few hours of London and getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night. That's just not working for me. So just last week I switched from 1 hour day trading to 1 day swing and worrying a hell of a lot less about the little changes in the market all day. It was a bad time to do it, because the market is just ranging daily up and down the last 10 days now, but I'm feeling very positioned for the longer moves the market is and will be making. I honestly didn't know the difference between swing and day trading till you pointed it out here. It was just what I felt was going to be better for me in the long run. Again, great video Nick! I watch them all!

I also trade HTF including 1H/30Min/4H and once you entered into the trade it takes time to hit the target and hence its a lot of boring work so to get the thrill and to maintain my psychology I also trade on Gold and EURUSD in LTF like 5/15Min with One Half or One Third Risk of what I take on Swing Trades..

    You cant discount all the oppurtunities that Day Trading provides. Most people dont have the patience for swing trading even if its just as profitable. Most people just wind up turning their swing into a daytrade. On AUD NZD there was a 14 day swing trade that i was in that netted a 7R return. But i had to look at the weekly chart and sit on my hands for 3 days before it set up. In the mean time, i traded daily trends instead of weeklys and i found intraday highs and lows. ( So pretty much i daytraded in a lazy way to avoid staying on the 15 minute too long. If you trade on the 15 for too long, its gonna take a lot of trades to bring you out of drawdown. Not to mention the stress of missing alot of perfect entries that all the instagram gurus brag about getting on a consistent basis. Which smells and is of BS. Instagram gurus that trade on the 15 minute alot go through alot of losses that they dont show. So my point is that the higher timeframes form direction and if the higher timeframe direction is wrong youll lose most of the daytrades you take.

    That's a subjective term. Personally I'd prefer content that keeps me grounded in reality than hype which would keep getting me excited every other day... From experience I know that that's the sure road to ruin.
