the trade entry is the least important part of any trading system and ironically the more you try to improve it the more likely you are to lose a random coin flip is just as effective let me explain why that is and what you need to do instead if you want to become a profitable Trader the first and most obvious thing to understand is we don't make money when we enter a trade we make it when we close the position an open position could be in a massive unrealized profit but if you don't close out it
could eventually turn turn around and end up as a loss and vice versa you could be in an unrealized loss but if you leave it open long enough it can eventually turn around and end up in profit the only thing that matters to your account balance is when you close a position so in other words the exit now go to any trading Forum or any of the Fate Duru s courses and see how much they talk about the exit you'll be lucky to find any mention of it anywhere at all all the emphasis is always
on the entry and it's a distraction to hook inexperienced naive beginners 98% of Traders are obsessed with the entry 98% of Traders fail the crowd are wrong about everything being profitable has nothing to do with how you enter it has everything to do with how you exit but I hear you say surely it is important to pick the right direction we've got to get that right to begin with don't we isn't that common sense no we don't need to pick the right direction ever as I've already said you can enter a trade having picked the
right direction but if you don't close while it's in profit it will eventually reverse and end up as a loss or the price can go in the wrong direction immediately after you enter but at some point reverse and end up as a winner the direction immediately after your entry is irrelevant all winners can turn to losers and all losers can turn to Winners it's the timing of when you exit but to turnning to the outcome and the entry plays no part in that now people do all kinds of mental gymnastics to try and convince themselves
that the entry matters because their ego needs to believe that they have some control and it's their skill that resulted in the wing but that's an illusion it is an incontestable fact that money is only made or lost when you exit a position and therefore the exit is what you should focus your attention on and I'll explain how to get that right in just a moment but on the topic of picking the right direction ction this is actually what takes the entry from being meaningless to being harmful and causing you to lose 99.48% of all
price moves from tick to tick in the Forex Market are random that's same mathematical fact it's well established and understood by anyone who looks at the institutional data all markets are predominantly random most of the time and it is impossible to predict anything in random market conditions now what that means is price Direction can only be predicted 0.52% of the time on those rare occasions when the conditions are nonrandom in other words the best most highly skilled and technically Advanced Traders only have the chance to even try and predict the price Direction half of 1%
of the time there really isn't much of an edge at all to all intents and purposes we can say that predicting price direction for all but the most elite Traders is impossible and even for the elite Traders their entry is only a fraction better than a 50/50 con flip so when you see all the fake durus boasting about their High win rate they are either lying or they just don't understand what prediction means having a 75% win rate doesn't mean you've predicted the price 75% of a time it simply means having a stop loss three
times further away than your profit Target a 30 pip stop loss and a 10 pit take profit will give you a 75% win rate but you won't make any money over the long term in a Rand the market that's not a profitable system look you can give yourself a 9% win rate if you want just have a one pit take profit and a 99 pit stop-loss it's still a losing system after you've deducted the commissions win rate has nothing to do with predicting price correctly to legitimately say you've predicted the price you would have to
have equal size stops and profit targets of let's say 10 Pips each and you would need to win more than 50% of the time very few Traders can statistically demonstrate they are a able to do that and most profitable Traders don't even try to predict the direction because they know the entry doesn't matter so if the entry is more or less a coin FP even for the best Traders how do winning Traders get their urge and outperform the losers by such massive amounts to be able to make big profits the exit the winging Edge is
on the exit not the entry and not surprisingly the exit is something only a tiny number of Traders pay any attention to and why only a tiny number of Traders ever succeed now I'll explain the best exit with the highest age in just a moment but first when people believe the entry is important and they foolishly believe they are predicting the direction they certainly guarantee they will always be a failing Trader the entry can actually be the biggest cause of long-term failure and the reason why is this if you believe a certain pattern on a
chart will predict the price Direction when it doesn't which will be about 50% of the time you're left with only two conclusions either the system doesn't work and that pattern doesn't predict the direction or you're just not good enough then you've made a mistake and it doesn't matter which conclusion you come to the resulting response from you is the same you put even more time and effort into the entry you either go looking for a new system with a new better entry or you try to improve your skills at reading the chart pattern so that
you're able to identify that good entry better and both things are doing the same thing they're trying to improve the entry and that is a complete waste of time and energy you will forever be trapped in a cycle of trying to improve something that can't be improved because it's basically random such a futile Endeavor but equally it doesn't need to be improved the entry isn't your Edge when you realize that you free yourself from all of the emotional package that cripples most trailers you can't be right or wrong b a coin flit entric there's no
skill required it's random where the price goes next is not a reflection of your decision or skill so you take your ego EDB equation all together and when you detach your ego from the need to be right or wrong Revenge trading and other ego-driven mistakes cease to be a problem it's very liberating when you realize the entry doesn't matter and in no way impact your profits it's one of the easiest ways to get on top of your emotions so what do you focus on if you want to be a profitable Trader well obviously it's the
exit and the best way to do that is to use a trailing stop that scales up time frame from a low to high and what I mean by that is to enter a trade on a short time frame with a tight stop loss and if that trade loses Sobe it losses are part of trading but when it goes into profit gradually change the chart time frame higher and higher until you are eventually managing it on a daily chart so a trade that starts out with a 10 pip stoploss can end up as a two or
300 pip stop- loss having already locked in several hundred Pips in profit and can remain open to catch a long-term trends of thousands of Pips and the longer you leave a trade open the more you are catching those rare non random market conditions which are essential if you want to be able to profit over the long terp if you had won 1,000 pip winner that's the same as making 10 Pips a day every day for 5 months now I can tell you that making 10 Pips a day consistently is next impossible you've probably tried something
like that and failed so you know how hard that is but getting one 1,000 pit winner at some point in 5 months is not only easy it's almost guaranteed I'll leave a link in the description and in the end screen to my previous video where I explain a full trading system with this exit strategy in detail with visual examples it's the most profitable Edge you're likely to find in an exit strategy now in that system I use coin strength analysis for the entry which does give you an advantage because of a unique characteristic or Forex
so it is well worth using but as you've just seen it's still a small advantage in the gr es schem of things and honestly you can use a conflict for the entry if you want and it won't make much difference as long as you keep the rest of the rules the same especially the exit the exit is the most important part of any system the exit is your Edge and the exit in that system is the most profitable and reliable I've ever seen seen or used H if you find this video interesting and you'd like
