Im not saying that im looking for "key" or holy grial for trading, i just want to create a learning path in order to organice the most important topics on trading, technical analysis specially.
First things first. Take some time to understand
why risk management is so important, and about the different techniques used to employ it effectively. For many novice traders, this doesn't sink in until they lose half their portfolio value in one trade. Once you start developing a trading system that works for you on paper, you should employ
a risk/reward strategy that suits your win rate. For example, if your win rate is 50%, you should only be taking trades that offer 2:1 reward-to-risk or better to grow your capital.
Some recent posts with resources on basic technical analysis and ideas for further study:
I would take some time to read some basics about trading and risk management.
Babypips is a great resource for new traders. I can't emphasize enough that you need to constantly be thinking about
risk. You want minimal risk, maximum gains. That means carefully planning where you want to enter and exit a trade and most importantly, where your stop losses are. I recommend checking out
Tim West on Tradingview and
CarpeNoctom on Twitter/Youtube for trading strategies and ideas.
No two traders are the same. I would say that you should research several methods and build a well-rounded system that isn't overly reliant on one school of thought. A few recommendations:
1) Tim West's time-at-mode analysis. This is a very practical approach to trading consolidations and breakouts with tools for proper risk vs. reward entries and targets.
2) John Bollinger's "Bollinger Band" analysis. Follow him on Twitter. He drops hints there about trading setups he uses, and there are lots of good tutorials out there on how to use BBs.
3) I also recommend learning about cycle analysis like Wyckoff and Elliot Wave. But I would caution not to become overly reliant on these. They are good for providing a "bird's eye view" of markets. Not so good for short-term analysis.
Good luck! Remember that becoming a successful trader is a journey, not an overnight endeavor. I've been trading for five years now and it's a constant learning experience. The learning curve never ends.
