Let me explain about that and more right now. Hey traders, this is Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach, with video and podcast number 456. Something a little bit different this week, and I mentioned it at the end of last week's video and podcast, and I've had a lot of people saying they're really wanting to know more about this. One of our clients makes +7.25% account gain in the week I talked about a client who just the previous week made 7.25% on his account. On the previous video, I think I was mentioning he made about 8.5%, I think it was, but he actually had a losing day on Friday when I made last week's weekly video. So for the previous week he ended up, of the five trading days, he lost Friday and made four profitable days Monday through to Thursday, for a total net gain of 7.25% trading with only very tiny risk of a quarter to a half percent risk per trade. And he did that by trading between 45 minutes and one and a half hours per day on only the 15 minute timeframe charts. We only look for a trade at the close of a candle And the great thing with the way that we trade is you only look at the candle close. And so you know that if you're trading for 45 minutes a day, he could have looked at four different timeframe charts, or four different closes. And if he was trading for an hour and a half, he had six closes on the 15 minute timeframe charts to look at. So he did that for the five days for a 7.25% account gain, only on the 15 minute timeframes. And when you think about that, that's pretty good. We don’t only trade the longer time frame charts And a lot of people think that we trade just the longer timeframe charts. And personally, I tend to trade two hours and above, that's just what suits me. But the great thing is from your point of view, is that our strategy works. And from our client's point of view, the strategy works. And what that means is you have the ability to trade whatever suits you. Just because I'm now explaining about a number of our clients that are now jumping onto 15 minute timeframe charts, doesn't mean to say you should go and do that, but only if it suits you. Likewise, if I'm talking about trades on 12 hour charts or daily's or weekly's, or even monthly's, don't just jump onto those timeframe charts if they don't really suit you. On those, you've got to be prepared for them to be in a little bit longer and just let them do their thing. On a 15 minute timeframe chart, you're going to be expecting really that you have to dedicate an hour or so per day and sit and watch those closes four times within the hour. But it just shows what can be done. Trade what suits you And that's the important thing, it's trading what suits you. But also, it's trading what the market's giving you. If you want to trade 15 minute timeframe charts, and you say, look, I'm going to dedicate one hour a day to do this, look at four times, don't feel that you have to take lots and lots of trades just because you're trading short timeframes and you're there for that one hour. You've got to trade when the setups are there. And that can be shown through in the results that the clients are getting. And with this guy making 7.25% gain in just five days, what he's doing is he's actually taking most of his trades which are continuation trades.
