Look I used to be that trader, active on lower time frames, trying to catch the key turning point to maximise my profits as much as possible. However, working full time in the broker industry left me with less screen time. Ironically this has actually improved my trading.
What I did
Switched from low time frames to higher time frames like the 4hr and Daily.
Took fewer traders, but planned more thoroughly.
Focused on macro themes and the narrative of the market.
What Changed
My average risk to reward went much higher. Up from 1:1.2 to 1:2.68.
My win rate dropped from 68% to just 54.2%.
I had a 10 trade losing streak, but only lost 1% overall in that time.
Mentally, I was calmer and clearer.
Why it’s worked for me
Less emotional after a loss.
Forced to aim for higher profit targets, letting my winners run.
You’re not chained to the chart all day.
If you’re looking to radically change your trading behaviours then this could work for you. Calm the mind, use time as your friend and get a hold of those trading demons.
