Trade Small And Trade AllYou could play directional probability in your favor while reducing your risk with this relatively simple technique,

based on an easy thought…

When a currency has a big movement, the tendency is for that currency’s entire basket to move.Traders use the term “basket” to lump together one currency’s pairs against all other currencies. For example, when the JPY becomes extremely weak or strong, all JPY pairs reflect such movement.

Anyone could capitalize on a move based in one currency’s strength (and capture more pips), by placing several smaller trades in all of the symbol’s related pairs. It’s a tactic I’ve seen hundreds of traders, if not thousands, use successfully. With multiple trades running, we now have the ability to benefit from that currency’s strength and collect more profits without over leveraging one single pair.

Trade Confirmation Over AnticipationIn a nutshell: See it to believe it. Sure, it is tempting to try to anticipate or predict when price action should turn

or bounce… but it is far easier to focus on trading confirmation. And the right charting tool can make that easy to see.

Sometimes, anticipating or predicting a change might be OK – it’s rare, but maybe you’re buying low at support or selling high at resistance … that could work because, in those cases, the reaction should be fairly immediate.

But a trendline that hasn’t yet shown its reversal… or a price that’s not yet close to a significant support/resistance area… safely trading those pairs means staying patient and waiting to see confirmation. This helps you avoid premature entries where you’d run into your stop loss. This helps you extend to extremes that are far easier to trade than simply guessing the market will turn for you.

Trade Quality Over QuantityTo increase win percentage, it is best to focus on high quality trades over settling for mediocre setups.

Profitable trading is simply a game of numbers. Your percentage of trades won might be a confidence booster, but it isn’t as important as winning more PIPS AND MONEY than you lose.

Statistically speaking, any pips you win (beyond what you risk) dramatically increase your odds of profitability. At the end of the day, we simply want to be profitable.

Market Conditions Determine StrategyYou need to know what the market is doing in order to profit.

Even when we have great strategies (manual or automated), results are directly tied to market conditions. Those conditions dictate any strategy’s ability to survive… and profit.

� Trending strategies perform poorly in consolidation or range bound conditions.

� Range strategies perform poorly in trending conditions.

So observing the market and knowing the news that’s driving it, could significantly aid results. A trader’s ability to recognize consolidation vs ranging markets is an important edge. It’s sometimes called “spatial awareness.” Having proper spatial awareness means you’re willing to adapt and follow the market for profits, rather than fight it and suffer stubborn losses.

See It. Protect It. Collect It.The quickest way to start making money as a trader is to stop

losing it. A big first step to avoid a deficit is to move protective stop losses to the break-even point. This is a tactic not aimed at profits, but it will protect your capital.

That might mean setting easy targets for the market to hit … “see it” … setting your stop-loss at break-even … “protect it” … and accumulating several of these quick winning trades … “collect it.”

Ideally, we any trader can always follow these steps: � SEE IT: Recognize a high probability trade that is offering profit

� PROTECT IT: Set your stop-loss at break-even to guard capital

� COLLECT IT: Limit or close, take profits quickly and move on

Don’t forget … any surplus allowing more reward than risk will continue to help your bottom line.

The biggest thing is to know your charts.

The ability to see directions, and the changes in direction, is crucial. A trader needs to see trends along directions, and just as importantly their reversals.

Some people have a sense for this. They can look at a currency pair’s chart and read it the way a racing champion sees the best way around a track.

But for the rest of us … well, we often need an indicator.

An indicator can drop right into a chart to interpret what the prices are showing us. And I’ve got one that’s proven to help traders far and wide. It shows confirmation of reliable times to trade.

Let me show one of my favorite (and most consistent) indicators, the Heikin-Ashi Smoothed Indicator.

So, how does a trader put these 5 Secrets to Consistent Trading into practice -- in order to profit?

Heikin-Ashi SmoothedCandlesticks are the sign language of the market, but when it comes to spotting trends they can create indecision.

Heikin-Ashi translates into “average bar” in Japanese. This technique makes it simpler to spot trends and sustain market direction for your trades.

The image shows a traditional candlestick chart compared to a Heikin-Ashi chart. Notice how the Heikin-Ashi chart makes “smooths” market movement — making it easier to read direction.

CandlesticksHere you can see where I’ve added an upward trendline in black, showing that the market is making higher highs and higher lows – and you can see the “break” in the trendline, where a lengthy red, bullish candlestick shows the price dropping well below that trendline. That first aggressive red, bullish candlestick begins a new, bearish trend, with lower highs and lower lows.

But simply looking left-to-right you can see a continual mix of red and green. And the structure of those candles isn’t always as obvious as this one. That sometimes makes it difficult to look for consistent signals.

Heikin-Ashi CandlesHere is that same chart with just one change: Instead of using basic candlesticks, we use Heikin-Ashi Candles. Because Heikin-Ashi literally means “average bar,” it simplifies your illustration. (Specifically, it charts the trend of the calculated average price action from the open, high, low and close.) It’s best when this is automated, because it would be very time-consuming to do by hand. But it helps a lot. Your colors will be much more consistent with the overall trend of movement in the pair you’re studying.

Look at this chart compared to the previous one, and the peaks and valleys don’t change – but the colors within them stay more consistent moving up to a peak, or down to a valley This way, a small, insignificant change in the middle of a bigger trend doesn’t become a distraction from what’s really happening. That enables smarter trading.

Heikin-Ashi Smoothed Overlaying CandlesNow we’re looking at my ultimate market amplifier -- a smoothed version of the Heikin-Ashi theory that’s even easier to trade. This takes those calculated movements from the Heikin-Ashi “average bar” candles and it’s now placing just a slight shift above or below the price. It makes these differences obvious, because this Heikin-Ashi Smoothed indicator is an overlay for your price charts.

This indication provides the confirmation and clean trading that top traders seek as an alternative to predictions. Live prices can sometimes cut against the overall trend and send false signals. At best, it’s a distraction from what’s really happening -- and at worst, it forces a bad trade based on emotion. Whether you’re buying in blue or selling in red with this indicator, you’re protecting your profit.

Using Heikin-Ashi Smoothed Custom IndicatorNow let’s talk about the way the Heikin-Ashi Smoothed Custom Indicator works in different time frames. An 8-hour chart will provide longer alignment for your trend bars. And even though the blue and red take time to shift, you could add to the trade based the traditional candlesticks still visible in your charts.

That’s why the Heikin-Ashi Smoothed is best when it’s just an overlay to add overall trend information to actual prices. But it’s very useful to see the simple bullish trend for buying and simple bearish trend for selling – confirmation, not prediction – shown in the overlay on this 8-hour chart.

12

Using Heikin-Ashi Smoothed Custom IndicatorIf you look at the shorter time frame of the 4-hour chart, the same overall movement from the highs to the lows provides repeatable opportunities to sell within the same bearish trend as opposed to the single buy and single sell in the 8-hour chart. As long as the overall structure remains consistent, the trades are the same. But more entry points become available because the 4-hour chart provides more signals.

13

Using Heikin-Ashi Smoothed Custom IndicatorThe same theory applies on the buy trendline in this chart. On this 8-hour chart, with a single time frame providing a single, clear bullish trend, the signal indicates one buying opportunity and the confidence to hold that trade to the top of the trendline.

14

Using Heikin-Ashi Smoothed Custom IndicatorAgain, let’s compare the shorter 4-hour chart to the 8-hour version. And again, the Heikin-Ashi Smoothed Custom Indicator provides more opportunities to add to the overall trend. Every time higher highs form, you can take advantage of what the indicator is showing you.
