Hopefully, that kept you out of losing trades.<\/p>\n<p>In the session I explained my bias remains the same on most pairs, for now at least: I still only want to sell the Aud, Nzd, Euro\/$, Euro\/Gbp etc as nothing has changed technically nor fundamentally when compared against the Usd.<\/p>\n<p>Often the direction for the year ahead does not become clear until after Martin Luther King day in the USA which this year is on the 20th January.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime make a plan for the year ahead. If you are currently losing or not making a great deal then review your past performance. If you are doing great this still makes sense, all of us have bad habits and there is room for improvement and development.<\/p>\n<p>What you did right and wrong in 2019 and then make a plan to move forwards in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Last week I posted a checklist for you to follow to help you with this: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/trade-the-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/trade-the-plan\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is also my usual advice in the members area for treating trading like a business and the steps you need to follow in the &#8220;Preparation module&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you need some trading rules and a clear structured plan and routine to follow every week. That is what all professional traders do, including Pierre and myself.<\/p>\n<p>Create a plan, structure and clear rules, weekly analysis, trade the plan. Rinse and repeat, it&#8217;s no more complicated than that, BUT you need to do the preparatory work and then apply it!<\/p>\n<p>I will be back with you on Sunday with my detailed analysis for next week, in the meantime get making those plans for a successful trading year!<\/p>\n<p>regards<\/p>\n<p>Marc<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you would like to learn how to trade like a professional check out our 5* rated forex mentor program, RISK FREE; by clicking on the \u201cGet Started Today\u201d Button below<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/mw-post\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"forex mentor pro\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forexmentorpro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/728x90-.jpg \" alt=\"forex mentor pro\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/382429063\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, in yesterdays live training session I explained why Pierre &amp; I are waiting until Monday before starting to trade.
