What does the typical trading day look like for a full time trader? Well, I’m going to share with you what I do, how I do it, and why I think it’s a great way to trade. So let’s talk about that more right now. Hey there traders! Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach for video and podcast number 630. What my typical trading day looks like. I quite often get asked by people around the world saying, “Hey Andrew, can you show me like how you’re trading or what your typical day looks like?” And people get very concerned that, you know, maybe they can’t trade the way that I trade because they live in a different country, or they’ve got commitments or other work or whatever it might be. So just to show you now, we’ve just turned 10:00 in the morning here, and I’ve just taken my trades for today. So every day at 5 p.m., New York time, which currently is 9:00 am here in New Zealand. I go through and look at the daily charts and also the 12 hour, the 8 hour and the 6 hour charts, and we post trades every single day and have done since 2010 on our membership site for our clients based on that close of day. Easter break and 2x H6 trades taken. Now, right now we’ve just had Easter, so the markets are kind of a bit all over the place. And for today, there were no specific daily trades. It’s quite unusual. Most days we have between say 1 and about 4 or 5 daily chart trades. Today there were none. That’s absolutely fine. It’s just what the market’s doing. There were some big moves yesterday. There’s this potential, sort of peace deal going on with the Iran war and so big movement in the market, but right now, no specific daily trades for today. However, we did just take 2 trades on the 6 hour charts. I’ve just taken a sell trade on the GBP/JPY and also the GBP/CAD. And so they’ve been placed here behind me. I’m up +3.4% for the week to date. My account so far this week, and bear in mind, it’s a very quiet week with Monday and Tuesday no trading due to Easter, I’m up 3.4% for the week so far, and that now, after I’ve just taken those 2 6 hour chart trades, that is my trading done for today. Now, later tonight, my time, I’m actually holding a live webinar with my clients, and we will be looking at the 5 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, New York change over. And you can quite easily trade in just once a day, twice a day following along with what we’re doing. Now depending on where you live in the world, you can of course trade other candle closes. So, for instance, in 6 hours from right now, which will be my 3 p.m., I could look at the 6 hour charts, at my 5:00 pm, I could look at the 8 hour charts. And so depends where you live in the world on those candle closes. But, if you wanted to do nothing else, you could trade just once a day. We trade using limit order so you can always place the trades. Now, if you’re saying to me, hey, look, I live in Europe, and the 5:00 pm New York time is the middle of the night for me. That’s fine. We’ve got clients in 111 countries right around the world who trade our system. So what you guys can do is, if it’s too late for you in your evening time, you can wait until your morning time and place trades on those daily charts or those other time frame charts, because we use limit orders. So you don’t have to be here right now at this exact time. And that’s the beauty of the way we trade. So for me, that’s my trading done. I’ve got the webinars mentioned later tonight, my time with clients in the European session. So I’m going to prepare for that. And but from a trading point of view, that is my trading done for the day. Enjoy life and trade less. Other things you can go and do. Well, that’s up to you. For me here, I’ve got my guitars behind me here and my mic set up, and I love doing that. I live on 11 acres here and, we’ve got, you know, tons to do outside on 11 acres. We grow all our own food or as much of it as we possibly can. I’ve got animals and chickens and quail, horses, etc. And so I like to get outside and enjoy the 11 acres here of physical work as well. I think that’s really important, you know, mentally and physically. You’ve got to do, I’m not a gym person myself. In fact, I can’t think...
