Pretext 
 
 
The revolutionary aspect of the Breakfree Trading Algorithm is how it allows us to quickly navigate hundreds of markets and predict 
opportunities in the market before anyone else.  
 
The Breakfree Trading Algorithm, unlike momentum-based algorithms, will predict market levels in the market based on the psychology 
of crowd trading a particular market. 
 
This is why our approach works so well on all markets, as our trading algorithm decodes human psychology in realtime on any 
timeframe and any market.  
 
All markets are always cycling the exact same thing just in different stages. 
 
What Tesla is doing in 2019-2020 is the same as what Bitcoin did in 2016-2017.  
 
Same euphoria, the same greed, same ignorant shorts, and it will be the same result in 2021 as Bitcoin was, in 2018.

Introduction 
 
 
To accompany our new video material that will be released soon, we’ve also had a lot of requests for a written guide. What we are doing is in fact 
completely systematic, so we are going to cut down the trading strategy for Breakfree Trading Algorithm in a simple A-B-C context.

Brokers Selection 
 
 
IC Markets​ and​ SimpleFX​ are our recommended brokers mainly because of high leverage options (500:1), reliability, and 
low fees.  
 
For residence in North America,​ Oanda, LMFX​ are the most popular options.  
● Oanda is regulated in the US, but the leverage is limited. 
● LMFX provides higher leverage but is not regulated in the US. 
 
If you want to go with any other broker, that's fine. Just choose the one with a good reputation and check their fees and 
leverage options. 
 
** If you come with a larger account, Interactive Brokers and TD Ameritrade are good options for trading stocks.  
** For Crypto trading, it is better to use a Crypto Exchange (Binance, Bitfinex) or Crypto Derivative Contract Exchange (Bitmex 
or Bybit).

Registration of the Navigator 


 
 

TradingView has just become outdated for our system. We've released our brand new trading platform called Breakfree Trading™ 
Navigator. 
 
This is what you need to do to find the algorithm on BFT Navigator: 
 
1. Visit h
​ ttps://navigator.breakfreetrading.com 

2. Click the bottom white button to signup a Navigator with the s​ ame 

email address​ you used for your subscription. 

3. Check your mailbox to verify your account. Please check the spam box 

too if you can see it. 

4. Login and enjoy the Navigator.

Verifying algorithm settings  


 
 
 
Since the first release of Breakfree Trading Algorithm 1.0, there’s been a number of 
revisions to the algorithm and trade strategy itself. 
 
We have seen some users accidentally make changes to the settings panel and then forget 
about it. P
​ lease don’t make this mistake. 
 
Go to the top left corner of your chart and click settings for the Breakfree Trading 
Algorithm.  
 
These are the latest settings we recommend as of November 20th, 2020. And you can still 
modify the settings to suit your needs. 
 
1. Stop Loss Ratio is set to 1.7 
 
2. Check that Account size is updated and reflects your weekly balance 
(Please convert it into USD if you are using other currencies.) 
 
3. Risk Override (%) is set by default to:  
3.5% for the daily timeframe; 2.5% for the 4h timeframe; 1.5% for the 1h 
timeframe; 1% for the 15m timeframe. 
 
These changes will apply automatically once you switch timeframes, so do not 
forget to change the risk override % should you want a higher/lower risk.

MetaTrader Bridge on the Navigator 


 
 
The MetaTrader bridge gaps the distance between charting and trading. It allows direct trade 
execution and management from Navigator.  
 
1. Go to Navigator (​https://navigator.breakfreetrading.com​) . 
 
2. Click the menu in the top left corner. 
 
3. Select your MetaTrader Account Type (MT4/MT5), then click “Connect”. 
 
4. Fill-in the login credential and check the Terms of Use & Privacy Policy.  
 
There are two ways to place a trade: 
 
● Right click on the chart, select “Place Order”. 
 
● Click the “Place Order” button on the bottom right corner inside the MetaTrader 
Bridge Panel. 
 
You can adjust the order detail by dragging the entry price line on the chart or right click the 
order book to “Edit Order”.

A) Finding a trade 
 
 
When people fail in trading, it’s often a combination of issues that leads them to losses. But of all mistakes, what causes losses for 
traders is executing trades that just never should’ve been done. 
 
As we taught you in the online trading course, here’s what I want you to do: 
 
1. Go to Navigator (​https://navigator.breakfreetrading.com​) . 

2. Open your chart with the latest Breakfree Trading Algorithm and updated settings. 

3. Start browsing your watchlist for opportunities.  

4. The Discovery plan allows you to browse all Forex Markets. 

5. The Pro plan allows you to browse all markets including but not limited to: Stocks, Crypto, Forex, Futures & 

Indexes. 

6. Go through the markets on your watchlist, until BFT Algorithm shows a position tool marked on the chart.

7. Click on the position tool on your chart to see the trade details.

8. Click the blue “Place #1” & “Place #2” buttons to open the position. (*Bridge must be connected)

9. Click the red "Place Order” to confirm the order.  

Note: You can still copy the value manually from the BFT panel if needed.    

7  Browsing the handbook but don't have access to the Breakfree Trading algorithm yet? Pick your plan and get access ​here​. 
 

B) Executing a trade 
 
 
 
Once BFT Algorithm has found a trade, your chart will show a 
position tool like the one on the right, indicating a “​Short/sell 
setup​” or alternatively, a “​Long/Buy setup​” in the opposite 
direction. 
 
To execute your trade, click the position tool on the chart, which 
will open the new B
​ FT Panel.  
 
Once opened, click the “​Place #1” b
​ utton in the bottom right 
corner of your BFT Panel which will open the O
​ rder window​. From 
there, check the values and then simply click “​Place Order”. 
Repeat the step for “​Place #2”​ and you’re done. 
  
Alternatively, you may copy the values from the BFT Panel and 
execute the trade directly on your trading platform. 
 
Note: Make sure before you enter a trade that your Order window 
has “Open correlated risk” below 5%!

B) Executing a trade - Deciding if we wish to take the trade 


 
 
The trade setups that BFT Algorithm provides you with, are 8/10 times really 
good trade opportunities.  
 
That doesn’t mean we will win all of the trades, but our chances of winning 
will be much higher than the average retail trader. 
 
However, there are certain scenarios where the algorithm might give an 
indication to execute a trade where you should wait a little bit, and see 
what happens. 
 
It u
​ sually​ looks like the image on the right. 
 
What you see in the image here is a trade that’s worth watching, but too early 
to enter. 
 
We ​ALWAYS​ want to see the market punch straight into the entries and 
reject from them on the same or within the next few candles. 
 
We ​NEVER​ want to see the market punch straight over the entries and 
stay above them in the next few candles.  
   

9  Browsing the handbook but don't have access to the Breakfree Trading algorithm yet? Pick your plan and get access ​here​. 
 

B) Executing a trade - Almost always yes


 
 
In the event that you happen to end up in a trade where the 
market goes straight through the entries and it looks scary - do 
not worry.  
 
The first rule I want you to remember is: 
 
Rule #1 - Never judge a trade on the first few candles it’s 
opened. 
 
Especially for the daily timeframe swing trades, it’s completely 
normal to be red for a couple of days. 
 
What you do need to pay attention to is what happens in the 
coming hours/days, depending on the timeframe.  
 
"Does the market consolidate above the entries or is it rejecting?" 
 
Please see the illustration on your right on good and bad 
examples of the market consolidating above or below entry.  
 
As you can see, all consolidating below entry usually leads to stop 
loss with long/buy setups..  
 
So if you manage to recognize this behavior, you’ll be able to save yourself from losses. But be patient to learn this skill.

B) Executing a trade - Splitting positions 
 
 
 
There's an exception for the split into 2 positions rule, however. 
 
When the algorithm shows "Split: 0" instead of a lot value for each of the 2 positions, this means that 
your current account size is too small to split the trade into 2. 
 
In this case, you will only need to ​place 1 position with a lot size of 0.01​. 
 
Note: If you’re trading a smaller account size and can only enter one position, place only your TP1. 
Don’t try to run your only position to TP2. 
 
Once you have managed to deposit more capital into your account, then you can slowly move your 
way up to 2 positions with the correct lot size.  
 
   

11  Browsing the handbook but don't have access to the Breakfree Trading algorithm yet? Pick your plan and get access ​here​. 
 

B) Executing a trade - Targets (TPs) 


 
 
 
You’ll be targeting the first TP level with 1 of the positions and letting the other position run 
till TP2.  
 
Another way to say this is that we’ll close 50% of our trade at the first target level (TP1) 
and let the other 50% run for the second target level (TP2). 
 
It does not matter which of the 2 positions you use to take profit at the first TP level (TP1), it 
can be any of the entries.  
 
The two TPs are interchangeable. 
 
This is such a small difference that it makes no impact. 
 
What’s important here is that you close 1 out 2 positions at the first TP level (TP1) and the 
other position at TP2.  
 
 
 
   

12  Browsing the handbook but don't have access to the Breakfree Trading algorithm yet? Pick your plan and get access ​here​. 
 

B) Executing a trade - What to do when TP1 hits. 


 
 
Just like you were taught in the online video course—when the first TP level (TP1) is hit, 
you’ll move your stop loss to breakeven for the remaining position. 
 
If the market reverses and TP2 is never hit, the last position will eventually stop out at entry 
- that’s OK.  
 
You’ll take a step back and evaluate the entry-level before making a decision whether to 
take the trade again or not. 
 
When it comes to evaluating entry-level, you want to pay attention to how the price 
behaves at entry.  
 
Often, you’ll be able to repeat the same trades a couple of times, but eventually, the market 
will move out of the current range and the algorithm will form new entries. 
 
If you are a new trader, just avoid taking the same trade again and wait for a new 
opportunity.  
 
Further education on this will follow.

C) Monitoring trades & managing risk 


 
 
So you followed ​Step A - Finding a trade​ and ​Step B - Executing a trade​, and you now find yourself in a trade.  
 
Congratulations, this will probably be very exciting for you or extremely terrifying. Maybe both at once. 
 
There’s a good chance your first trade will start in negative/red - ​Don’t worry. T​ his is completely normal for our trading 
strategy—because our trading strategy is built around o ​ ther traders making mistakes​.  
 
However, it takes some time for those other traders to realize they made a mistake and a push in the market happens. And, suddenly, 
your red trade just turns into a big profit. Completely normal.  
 
In trading, emotions run wild all the time and i​ t’s always bad.  
 
That doesn’t mean you are not allowed to feel in trading, it simply means you need to be aware that this will be an ongoing process.  
 
No matter how hard you try, you’ll not be able to suppress your human emotions. It’s built into your primal instincts; literally hardcoded 
into your DNA. Thousands of years of human evolution will not be defeated by your weak human will to control it. 
 
Primal instincts always win and you cannot control it​ - remember this. 
 
While you cannot control it, you’ll, however, be able to manage and master it with time. Knowing ahead how you are going to feel in a 
particular situation, whether you are sitting high in profit or fear deep in losses will make you able to prepare your mindset for it.    

14  Browsing the handbook but don't have access to the Breakfree Trading algorithm yet? Pick your plan and get access ​here​. 
 

C) Monitoring trades & managing risk 


 
 
Often markets will move in the same 
direction and basically trade exactly the same 
way.  
 
Sometimes this means that a long or short 
setup will present itself on multiple forex 
pairs at the same time. 
 
Problem is that you cannot expose yourself 
as a trader to correlated markets at the same 
time in the same direction. 
 
Because if you are wrong, instead of losing 
max 5% capital on 1 trade, you’ll lose 20% 
capital. This is obviously not good risk 
management. 
 
To the right, you’ll see an example of 
GBPCAD, GBPNZD, GBPUSD, and GBPJPY.  
 
All moving exactly the same since September. 
 
 
   

15  Browsing the handbook but don't have access to the Breakfree Trading algorithm yet? Pick your plan and get access ​here​. 
 

C) Monitoring trades & managing risk 


 
 
In this event if an opportunity were to present itself in all 4 markets at the same time, you would only be able to choose 1 of those 
markets to long. After doing so, your job is to try to find GBP short exposure to hedge your trade. 
 
The best-case scenario is always ​finding a hedge for your trade​. That means a trade that goes the opposite way of the first one, which 
can protect you. However, you can’t just long GBPCAD and short EURUSD hoping it’ll protect each other. Better to scout through all GBP 
related markets and find a short hedge if possible. 
 
It’s completely OK if you can’t find a hedge, but it happens more often than you’d expect. 
 
With hedging, you make sure that if the first trade will be a losing trade, at least you have another trade to cover the loss. This is very 
high-level trading that very few master, but you have the ability to do.  
 
The same is true on Nasdaq as it is a very tech-heavy exchange. So if you are looking to long stocks on the Pro plan, make sure you don't 
overexpose yourself to multiple stocks trading the exact same way.

Double check before placing a trade 


 
 
1. Finish the training course in Week 2 
 
This step is very crucial for you to see success with our system. Don't skip the videos even though you already have experience in 
trading as you will learn how to use the algorithm with our strategy in detail. 
 
2. Adjust your account balance in the settings every time you look through 
 
You will need to do this every time you start placing your trades for the algorithm to give you correct lot sizes for each position. (More 
information on the settings of the algorithm in Video 2.1.1 and 2.3 in Week 2) 
 
3. Is the trade repeated? 
 
We don’t want to enter trades that are repeated too many times. If a trade is repeated too many 
times, the failure rate increases. The only time you should take a repeated trade is if you’ve 
made money on it previously because then you have some extra cushion for that increased 
failure rate.  
 
How do you find out if a trade is repeated? We recommend traders draw a zone across the entry 
and exit levels to see how many times the trade hit your level and then went into the TP levels. 
See the figure on the right for an example. 
 
4. Split each trade into 2 positions 
 
In the case where the algorithm gives you no value in Split (shows the number 0), this means 
your account size is too small to split that trade into 2. Instead, you need to split the trade into 
only ​1 position with 0.01 lot size​.   

17  Browsing the handbook but don't have access to the Breakfree Trading algorithm yet? Pick your plan and get access ​here​. 
 

Double check before placing a trade 


 
 
5. Plan your trades on the daily timeframe 
 
We can't stress this enough. If you're just starting out with the BFT system, trade on the daily timeframe first (1D). Yes, it might take 
longer for your positions to get triggered and complete; however, you will see higher success with this timeframe and find yourself to be 
in less emotional distress. 4H or lower timeframes are not swing-trading anymore. Those timeframes require you to understand more 
on how to read charts and you will need to check up on your trades 8x as often (or more) each day. Leave lower timeframes for when 
you've already been consistently profitable with 1D for a while. 
 
"Patience, patience, patience" 
 
6. Place limit orders only! Not stop orders.  
 
We generally wait for the market to consolidate above the entry 
for a buy zone for a long position and below the sell zone for a 
short position and reverse. That could take less than a day to 
more than a few days, be patient.  
 
"Why shouldn't I place stop orders?" 
 
See the drawing on the right side. With our strategy, we wait for 
the orders to get triggered and price reversal to fill our TPs. 
This can be accomplished with limit orders. However, if you 
place a stop order when the market price has already passed 
the entry zone, there's a high chance that your orders will get 
placed from the pin bar rejection; meaning, more chances of 
the trade going straight to SL instead of TPs.

Double check before placing a trade 


 
 
7. Are you overexposed? 
 
Always make sure that you're not overexposed on correlated currencies/markets. Here's an easy rule to remember: 
 
"Have no more than 2 open trades with the same currency pair" 
 
For example, if you already have 2 long positions open, let's say: USDAUD and USDNZD, adding a 3rd long position for USDXXX will most 
likely make you overexposed. If USD is doing well in this case, that's good luck for you, but if it starts to weaken, all those trades you 
place will most likely get stopped out - taking away a huge chunk of your capital.  
 
8. Correct values are input into your trading platform 
 
Make sure that all the values of your entries, TPs, and SL are correct. One of the major (and very serious) mistakes that we see new 
members make is n ​ ot using the lot size suggested by the algo ​or m
​ istyping lot sizes.  
 
Let's imagine mistyping the lot size in each of the 2 positions so instead of 0.08, you'd type 0.80. If the market is moving in the right 
direction, then you're very lucky. But imagine when the market starts going against your favor - that's you losing X ​ X%​ of your capital 
instead of just 5%! Not an ideal situation, surely.

What to do when the algorithm recalculates 


 
 
The algorithm updates in real-time when it sees an opportunity and vice versa; you will see a position tool appear 
when it detects a trade with high probability, and there will be no position tool when there's no trade opportunity in 
the market. Sometimes, after you place a trade, the algo will update after some time.  
 
Here's a good rule of thumb for when you have an open/pending order but the algo recalculates on the chart. 
 
Situation 1  ● IF​ the trade you placed is still ​pending​ at the time the calculation has been updated  
● DO​ adjust your order according to the new entries 

Situation 2  ● IF​ the trade you placed is still ​pending​ at the time the calculation has disappeared  
● DO​ leave your pending order as is and let the trade play out 

Situation 3  ● IF​ the trade you place has already opened  


● DO​ ​let the trade play out and wait for them to fill TPs 

** Trades shown can always be considered valid trades as long as the market is above entry zone (for longs, and vice 
versa for shorts). If the market starts trading beyond the entry zone (aka in drawdown), then you don't get into that 
trade, if you haven't already. 
 
** Once your trade hits TP1, make sure to move all SL from the remaining positions to entry to get out at break even 
- in case the market price doesn't reach the remaining TP2. 
 
** Don't forget to adjust all of the entries, TPs, SL, and lot sizes.

Understanding X-mode
 
 
The trading range 
 
These are your main levels on any given market. The range identifies 
the following for you: 
 
- Support 
- Resistance 
- Neutral 
- Extensions 
 
Support: ​A level in the market at the bottom of your range where 
price may reverse from. Support levels are only to be bought. 
 
Resistance: ​A level in the market at the top of your range where price 
may reverse from. Resistance levels are only to be sold. 
 
Neutral:​ A level in the market in the middle of your range (between 
your S and R). N levels act as S and R depending on where the price is 
trading. If the price is trading above your N, it’s a support level. If the 
price is trading below your N, it’s a resistance level. 
 
Extensions:​ The EXTs are levels in the market where price is 
overextended. It's an area where we are most likely to see a strong rejection.

Understanding X-mode
 

The different columns 


Every column on X-mode represents a timeframe. The far left column (indicated with a 
circle), shows us the higher timeframe (HTF). The further we go to the right, the lower the 
timeframe goes which will leave us with the far right being the lowest and weakest 
timeframe (TF). 
 
This will help us identify our strong and weak levels. HTF support or resistance is always stronger than LTF S/R levels. 
 
Boxed in black, you can see an example of two very 
weak levels. We only see one R and S on the far 
right, this indicates that it’s a new level and still 
weak. As time goes by, we might see more R or S 
come in like the level right above or below it. That’s 
where we move into confluence. 
 
The more confluence a level has, the better the level 
is. If X-mode identifies S or R on multiple levels, it 
will indicate it by saying 75% or 100% Alignment 
found. 
 
This will tell us our best levels to focus on called “High confluence levels”.   
 
 
Note: The different columns don't represent a specific timeframe such as the daily, 4h, 1h, 15m

Understanding X-mode
 

How levels behave 


 
Levels will change and develop over time. What’s important is you understand how they behave and what this means. 
At the core, we will always have our range which is R, S, and N. When price breaks an S or R, it will then turn into N. Here is a sequence of 
how a Support level turns into neutral: 
 
1. SSS 
2. SSN 
3. SNN  
4. NNN  
 
When price breaks a support or resistance level and the price stays above or below that level, it will turn into Neutral. Once the level is 
Neutral, it can then turn into either S or R. In the example above, our S turned into N. As time goes by, this level might turn into R and 
the sequence will look something like this: 
 
1. NNN 
2. NNR 
3. NRR 
4. RRR

Understanding X-mode
 

How levels behave 


 
Here are some examples of levels changing: 
 

In essence, a broken support and resistance turn into neutral. A neutral level when interacted with can turn into support or resistance. 
 

Basic X-mode rules 


Here are some x-mode rules you need to keep in mind to make your trading life easier: 
1. Never sell on support. It needs to be neutral or resistance for sells 
2. Never buy on resistance. It needs to be neutral or support for buys 
3. Focus on high confluence level (indicated with 75% or 100%) 
4. Your full S or R levels are the best levels (SSSS or RRRR) 
5. When a large 75% or 100% level breaks, you will see big moves happening 
6. Watch how price interacts with the levels, the bigger the rejection/reaction, the better the level is 
7. Always enter on the retest of a level

Real-time Trend Detection (RTD) 


 
 
With the RTD available in your Navigator, you can look at trends and momentum in a much more simple and easy way. The RTD will 
allow yourself to position yourself on the right side of the market. 
 
IMPORTANT: The RTD is not there for you to take trades based on the RTD. For example, a cross from bullish to bearish momentum 
does not indicate you should be looking to sell or start selling. The RTD is there to confirm the price action and setups we are already 
seeing. It acts as a confirmation for our setups. 
 
The RTD consists of two main indicators: 
 
1. Global 
2. Local 
 
Global is the overall (macro) trend. It tells where the market is heading 
long term. 
 
Local shows you the short term momentum. When we are day trading 
the short term (local) momentum is very important. If we try to sell 
something because the overall trend is down but the momentum is 
actually bullish, our trade will hit stop loss. 
 
You can read the Global and Local by looking at the labels.  
 
The red colors indicate a downtrend or bearish momentum. 
The green indicates an uptrend or bullish momentum.

Real-time Trend Detection (RTD) 


 

 
 
 
 
The crosses of the lines, indicate a change of trend or momentum. 
You can see when the space between the lines is getting thinner, it 
loses momentum and then changes from bearish to bullish or from 
bullish to bearish. When the space between the lines is getting 
thicker, it indicates that momentum is increasing.

Reminder about stocks/commodities trading 


 
 
Just a reminder for everyone trading stocks or commodities on a Pro plan that the principles a ​ re the same as in Forex​ for the Discovery 
folks. 
 
But instead of 70 Forex markets, you get access to over 18,000+ stocks and other financial instruments, which increases your chances of 
becoming profitable if you're able to choose wisely. 
 
The only thing you have to look out for is ​overexposure​, don't put all your eggs in one basket. 
 
If you decided to trade some tech stocks like Amazon, Apple, etc., it's recommended to go find a trade from companies in uncorrelated 
industries as well. 
 
1. Turn the BFT algorithm on. 
2. Go through a stock aggregator website (we like this free tool: h ​ ttps://stockrow.com/screener/​) 
3. Sort the list by industry. 
4. Pick companies from different industries, e.g Food, Tech, Pharma, Banking, Energy, Finance, Mining etc 
5. Use the BFT algorithm inside Navigator to look at how these stocks performed historically against each other (You can 
use a replay function in TradingView) 
6. Look for correlations. For example, when the virus panic hit the market months ago, how did the price move across 
different industries? 
7. After writing down your observations. Take your chosen stocks from every industry and put them inside the watchlist 
on TradingView. 
8. Start trading stocks how you would normally do with Forex on the Discovery plan! 
 
If you want to give a Pro plan a try, message Dr IQ ​https://t.me/DrIQ_BFT​ and he will sort you out.

How to deal with losses in trading 


 
 
Have you heard of Murphy's law? The idea here is "If anything can go wrong, it will." 
 
You have just started trading and have winning streaks for weeks, followed by a few lost trades. Those who don't have a strong mental 
capacity to handle this situation will be affected emotionally by a large trading loss. But you need to remember this: 
 
"Losses in trading are completely normal and are part of the game."  
 
An overwhelming percentage of people who start trading never last longer than a year. You come into trading thinking that you have the 
help from a trading algorithm; but why can't you win 100% of the time? 
 
The truth is that there are always going to be human elements in trading. The big chess players in this game are the ones deciding the 
price movement in the markets. This means that no algorithm will be able to predict the pricing with 10 out of 10 accuracy. 
 
This wild-card event can happen at any moment and will ultimately change the outcome of your trades.  
 
Successful traders became successful in the first place because they understand that losses are imminent, but it won't last forever. 
 
What the Breakfree Trading Algorithm gives you is an edge, both psychologically and statistically over the majority of traders. 
 
We know that the mathematical model can anticipate the market behavior roughly 70% of the time. And that, the wins will eventually 
outnumber the losses, but sometimes it's still hard to prepare yourself mentally when this happens. So, here are our suggestions:

How to deal with losses in trading 


 
 
● Practice, practice, practice 
Practice the emotional side of trading by starting out on a demo account; act as if it's your real money and learn to deal with 
losses this way. 
 
● Use this as motivation 
We don't know in what sequence the losses will come. This is the reason why you can't judge the trades from the first weeks of 
trading. What you need to do is keep putting out more trades and don't let the losers discourage you.  
 
● Find the cause of the loss 
There are times when losses come unexpectedly. But you can still ask yourself whether you have done everything according to 
the strategy. Try to look back and identify if there is anything you could have done differently that could have prevented the loss. 
Don't beat yourself up, but use your analysis to prevent similar mistakes in the future. 
 
● Take a break 
If you feel drained or overwhelmed, it's ok to take a break from trading for a few days and enjoy other parts of life. Good trading 
opportunities won't go anywhere. 
 
● Come back to the right path 
Winning streaks can make traders become overconfident and you may be more likely to shift away from the strategy with 
controlled risk. If this happens, shift your focus and have trust in the algo. 
 
● Don't revenge trade 
Never revenge trade. There is no point in putting in more risk to win back your losses. Overcome your impulsion to do this and 
stick with the plan.
