Forex Market Hours: How many times do you trade a week?

Forex Market Hours: How many times do you trade a week?
This is a question that is largely asked.
Ezekiel. How many times do you trade a week? or How many times should i trade a week?
Whats your answer?
(Forex Market Hours)
My answer to them is pretty much the same -
0 to 10 times a week.
There is no definite figure and there never will be.
As mentioned before, we enter trades when a setup occur with price action confirmation.
Therefore, if there is NO setups = There is NO entry.
It can absolutely happen when there is NO setup for the entire week.
Which accounts for the 0 times a week. (But it rarely happens)
And there may be weeks when there are alot of setups (may be even more than 10)
But on average. Its between 0 to 10 times a week.

Some of you guys may think.
That’s very little.
Yes its very little.
Would you rather have more trades with more losses OR
Would you rather have less trades with more wins?
Think about it.
The reason why we take so little trades is because we filter away alot of the low probability winning trades.
‘Most traders find reasons to enter, professional traders find reasons NOT to enter’ – Ezekiel Chew
Therefore, every trade we take. Must have a high probability of winning.
Which will eventually lead to a good growth in your account.

Therefore, if you are trading way over than 10 trades a week.
Look at the success rates you are getting.
If you are getting a high success rate on all the trades. That’s good.
But if you are not getting a high success rate. You need to think twice about your forex trading strategy.
Are you trading the right way?
Will your trading style lead you to a consistent growth at the end of the day?
Remember – Forex trading is NOT all about taking trades.
It requires you to think about and to have a proper forex trading system, a plan.
This is a business. This is not gambling.
If you are taking trades based on gut feel. – You are a gambler.
I would recommend you to stop trading altogether. Either stop forex trading, or spend some time to learn how to trade forex the right way.
