Change Your Trading Strategy to Be Profitable by Year-End

Trading in financial markets is a challenging endeavor that requires more than just intuition or luck. Many traders experience a series of unsuccessful trades before they find and adhere to a high-probability system. With the year-end approaching, it's crucial to reassess and potentially change your trading strategy to achieve profitability.

The Reality of Trading: High Failure Rates

Statistics show that the majority of new traders fail. Studies indicate that as many as 80-90% of day traders lose money, with a significant portion quitting within the first two years. This high failure rate includes a lack of education, insufficient risk management, and emotional trading. Trades can quickly go awry without a structured approach and a reliable system. The following graph shows the different stages traders go through.

A Typical Trader Journey

Finding and Following a High-Probability System

Following a high-probability trading system is essential to turn the tide and become a successful trader. A high-probability system increases the likelihood of profitable trades by relying on proven rules and strategies based on thorough market analysis and tested methodologies.

The NeverLossTrading Advantage

NeverLossTrading (NLT) offers a comprehensive approach to trading that caters to day traders, swing traders, and long-term investors. Here are the key advantages of NLT:

  1. Data-Driven Strategies: NLT utilizes advanced algorithms to measure changes in supply and demand, which are critical for predicting price movements. By leveraging these insights, traders can identify high-probability trade setups.
  2. Versatile Trading Solutions: Whether you're a day trader looking for quick gains, a swing trader capitalizing on short- to medium-term trends, or a long-term investor, NLT provides tailored strategies. This flexibility allows traders to choose the best approach for their goals and risk tolerance.
  3. Education and Support: One of the biggest pitfalls for traders is the lack of proper education and ongoing support. NLT offers extensive educational resources and one-on-one coaching to help traders understand market dynamics and refine their strategies. This guidance ensures that traders are well-prepared to handle various market conditions.
  4. Risk Management: Effective risk management is a cornerstone of successful trading. NLT teaches traders how to assess and mitigate risks, ensuring that losses are minimal while maximizing potential gains. This disciplined approach is crucial for long-term profitability. For swing trading and longer-term investment, we teach methods of trade repair instead of accepting the stop, which gave us our brand name; however, Never Stop Loss Trading was a bit lengthy.
  5. Adaptive Systems: Markets are constantly evolving, and what works today might not work tomorrow. NLT's systems are adaptive and continuously updated to reflect current market conditions. This adaptability ensures that traders are always equipped with the most relevant tools and strategies.

Practical Steps to Implement Now

  1. Evaluate Your Current Strategy: Take a critical look at your current trading strategy. Identify its strengths and weaknesses and determine whether it aligns with your financial goals.
  2. Educate Yourself: Invest time in learning about high-probability trading systems. NLT offers resources and courses to enhance your market understanding and trading skills significantly.
  3. Start Small: If you're transitioning to a new strategy, start with small trades. This approach minimizes risk while allowing you to test and become comfortable with the new system. Hence, it will need some practice swings and time to become profitable in the long-term.
  4. Use NLT Tools: Incorporate NLT's tools and indicators into your trading routine. These tools can help you identify critical price turning points and make informed decisions.
  5. Monitor and Adjust: Continuously monitor your trades and the overall market conditions. Be prepared to adjust your strategy as needed, staying flexible and responsive to changes.

Trade What You See is one of our imperatives, rather than trading what you think is right: let the chart tell when to buy or sell.

Examples

The NLT Timeless day trading concept enables traders to diversify their strategies and capture broader market movements by identifying trading opportunities across various price frames and asset classes, allowing decisions at multiple price increment levels.

NLT day trading decisions are based on a couple of rules, and we best start when not to accept a signal:

  • In an NLT Purple Zone, because of the ambiguity of price direction.
  • When an NLT Box Line cuts the way to target short, indicating supply or demand levels.
  • There is no entry at the exit level of the prior signal.

We enter a trade when the spelled-out buy> or sell < price threshold is ticked out in the price development of the next candle. If this does not happen in the price move of the next candle, we will delete our order.

The trade target is highlighted by a dot on the chart and specified by the system.

We now take a recent example for the E-Mini S&P 500 Futures Contract on July 15, 2024. On the chart, we highlighted four trade situations before the actual trade we took: Buy > $5692.

E-Mini S&P 500 Futures Contract July 15, 2024

We base our day trading examples always on trading one contract, and on July 15, 2024, we took a second trade in the afternoon, making a total income of $512.50 for that day, which you can see in our studs:

Swing Trading Example

At NeverLossTrading, we make swing-trading decisions based on daily and four-hour chart indications. For instance, the daily AAPL chart recently revealed four promising trade setups. Notably, the subsequent price action invalidated the third sell signal, showcasing our strategy's precision in filtering out false signals. The first signal hit two target levels (blue dots), while the second hit one and allowed us to add to our position, maximizing potential gains.

By leveraging these insights, we ensure our traders can capitalize on high-probability setups confidently and precisely.

AAPL, Daily Chart

The red line underneath the blue frame functions as a trailing stop line; this is how we let the chart tell when to buy or sell.

Longer-Term Trading Example

For longer-term decisions, we take weekly charts.

MSFT, Weekly Chart

Between April and June 2024, MSFT exhibited price movements characterized by our NLT Purple Zone, indicating periods of directional ambiguity where we do not open new trades. Our proprietary system uses color coding to denote momentum: blue for up, red for down, and purple for unclear directions. Once the NLT Purple Zone ended, two consecutive buy signals emerged and were validated by the following candle's price action, leading the trade to reach its target (indicated by a dot on the chart).

Trading Market Dynamics and Crowd Behavior

In financial markets, understanding crowd behavior is crucial to successful trading. Price movements often reflect market participants’ collective actions and emotions, creating patterns indicating potential turning points. NeverLossTrading (NLT) has developed a sophisticated approach to measure these behaviors, identify key price turning points, and extrapolate high-probability entry and exit signals that traders can follow directly on their charts.

Measuring Crowd Behavior

Crowd behavior in financial markets refers to the tendency of investors and traders to act in unison, driven by common perceptions, emotions, or external stimuli. This behavior often leads to the formation of trends, which can be sustained or reversed depending on various factors. NLT employs advanced algorithms and proprietary indicators to gauge crowd behavior by analyzing price action, volume, and other key market variables.

Price Action Analysis: NLT’s algorithms monitor price movements to detect patterns that suggest collective market behavior. These patterns may include trends, reversals, or consolidation phases, each offering clues about the next potential market move.

Volume Analysis: Volume is a critical factor in understanding crowd behavior. High trading volumes often indicate firm conviction among market participants, while low volumes may suggest indecision or lack of interest. NLT incorporates volume analysis into its indicators to measure the intensity of crowd behavior at different price levels.

Indicating Price Turning Points

Identifying price turning points is a cornerstone of NLT’s trading strategy. These turning points represent moments when the market will likely change direction, providing opportunities for profitable trades. NLT’s approach to identifying these points is systematic and data-driven, relying on technical analysis and behavioral insights.

Support and Resistance Levels: NLT identifies vital support and resistance levels based on historical price data and crowd behavior. These levels often act as psychological barriers where market participants change their trading behavior, leading to potential price reversals.

NLT Indicators: The NLT system uses proprietary indicators that highlight potential turning points on the chart. These indicators are designed to be easy to interpret, with clear signals that guide traders on when to enter or exit a trade. For instance, the NLT Box Lines and dashed lines indicate areas where the price will likely revert or face resistance, providing traders with actionable insights.

Extrapolating High-Probability Entries and Exits

The essence of successful trading lies in making well-timed entries and exits. NLT’s system is designed to extrapolate high-probability trade setups that traders can follow directly on their charts, trading what they see rather than what they think might happen.

Algorithmic Signals: NLT’s algorithmic signals provide precise entry and exit points based on real-time market data. These signals are generated by analyzing the confluence of various technical factors, including price action, volume, and historical trends, ensuring that traders are making informed decisions.

Visual Indicators on Charts: NLT’s system directly marks these high-probability entry and exit points on the trading chart, allowing traders to execute trades based on visual cues. For example, a green dot may indicate a buy signal, while a red crossbar could represent a stop-loss level. This visual approach simplifies decision-making and reduces the emotional bias that often affects trading outcomes.

Rule-Based Trading: NLT emphasizes a rule-based approach to trading, where traders follow predefined criteria for entering and exiting trades. This approach helps to mitigate the emotional aspects of trading, ensuring that decisions are based on data and strategy rather than impulse.

Trading What You See: The NLT Philosophy

“Trading what you see” is a core philosophy at NeverLossTrading. It encourages traders to rely on the visual cues and signals provided by the NLT system rather than attempting to predict the market’s next move. By following this approach, traders can:

Reduce Emotional Interference: By focusing on the clear, data-driven signals provided by NLT, traders can avoid the pitfalls of emotional decision-making, such as fear of missing out (FOMO) or panic selling.

Increase Consistency: The systematic nature of NLT’s approach promotes consistent trading behavior, which is crucial for long-term success. By adhering to the signals and rules set by the NLT system, traders can achieve more predictable outcomes.

Enhance Market Understanding: Over time, traders using NLT’s system will better understand market dynamics and crowd behavior. This knowledge can be invaluable in refining their trading strategies and improving their overall performance.

Let the Chart Tell When to Buy or Sell

Decide based on these rules:

  • Only accept a trade when a buy or sell threshold is taken out in the price movement of the next candle.
  • Put a stop at the red crossbar, and you either exit or apply the NLT trade adjustment method, which gave us our brand name; however, Never Stop Loss Trading was a bit lengthy.
  • Exit at the system-defined target dot on the chart.
  • Disregard the following signals after a directional signal is confirmed.

Day Trading Example

One of the NLT day trading strategies is to trade for price increment changes, not for time-based candles; hence, we call this concept NLT Timeless Trading. It allows you to be different from the crowd that decides time-based and lets you achieve trade accuracy around the 70% mark. Our preferred instruments for this trading style are futures due to their around-the-clock trading ability, high volume, and supporting longs and shorts without account restrictions. Our focus futures are:

  • E-Mini S&P 500 Futures
  • Crude Oil
  • Gold

We prefer to act on channel breaks and around NLT Accumulation Lines. We explain in our one-on-one training units what this is all about. The above chart showed five trading opportunities between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. ET, and they all reached their system-set target. However, we do not claim 100% accuracy, but high probability.

If you want to up your game day trading, we are happy to talk to you in a demon where we find out what suits you best.

We chose daily or four-hour charts for swing trading decisions and have strategies to trade for price increments. For longer-term decisions, we consult weekly charts with preferred indicator combinations and offer you a demo:

Signal-4 did not confirm during the price movement of the next candle.

Signal-5 had two indicators proposing a long trade that came to the system-set target.
