Prop Firm trader here. One thing about swing trading is that you must embrace being comfortable with being uncomfortable, as you sit through drawdown. Thank you for helping me align myself with something that matches my personality , I believed the hype of scalping until you enlightened me. Now my results are much more consistent.
But you have to have your SL in place anyway. It is the same concept as with any trading style...Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy you changed your believe system and I created better results for you!
Am a swing strategy learning student, but looking for scalping strategy for making higher reward, thanks for clearung my doubts and myths , now i will focus in my swing trading , thanks for the information ❤️
I used to do intraday not necessarily scalping but me and my dad trade and I am the person who is patient and likes to hold trade for longer even if I take some heat. When you are swing trading (which I am now) you start getting used to being negative for a while just respecting the companies rules and of course the strategy. sometimes I over leverage and It can go against me or I enter too early for the winning trade. Anyways I finally passed an 100k ftmo challenge and about to get paid out next week. I dont even have to place another trade. Thank you for making this videos and repeating in my face that I did the right choice!
I trade more than 200 times last 5 month just for my acc to be breached. After watching this video, I figured out that I'm doing all the "Don'ts". I back tested immediately then noticed that I could be more profitable in swing 1:1rr than scalping 1:4rr. Thank you sir, this video needs more views specially the beginners like me. 💯
@berndskorupinski First of all thanks for your answer. I appreciate it. Smc is on low TF as well and as I imagine is also scalping. You think it's the same Bernd? BTW are you German? 🥰🥰
I’m a father and just swing trading is best for me I still have job so I work 60 hours a week to sustain my wife & 2 boys. Hoping to make trading my full time job so don’t have to live at work forever You’re the only legend I listen too now. Thank you 🤝 I use to scalp myself & I use to try to make it work with my schedule and it was impossible used to feel so stressed because it felt like trading success would never happen to me. You gave me direction & hope 🙏🏼

Danke Bernd ! Wie lange würdest du sagen, hat es für dich gedauert mit Swings im Durchschnitt gefunded zu werden? Deine 2% Risiko pro Trade scheinen eine gute Strategie zu sein. @@berndskorupinski
To be honest, started learning ICT and it just wasn’t adding up, dropped everything and decided to find a different path. Glad I found your channel. Keep up the great works. Some suggestions for content; - Playlist of your entry and exit strategy -What to look out for when choosing a prop firm -How to start trading as a business
I agree with you 💯 , the past 3 weeks all i do is to find the daily timeframe trend the lock for the daily swing and wait the market to get to the zone
Hey Bernd, nice video, I made a similar video to this a year ago but nowhere near this quality but what I found is that people won't listen to this advice and they will still go back to where the action is foolishly. It is also one of my least viewed videos. However I truly believe it is the only way to make consistent profits, HTF trading with small positions is key. But let them live and learn.
Great, thanks for your comment! I know people will not listen…at least most of it…in trading people only listen when they feel the pain…losing money…many of them will fail miserably before they learn. And it’s ok, the choice is theirs. I am just a vocal trader that has a strong opinion of things backed by MY RESULTS.
@@berndskorupinski yes, you are truly showing the fruits of your labour. The market is like Pac-Man on the lower time frames, with the all the whipsawing eating stops and fuelling the urge to overtrade, a very dangerous place to be. It’s better to trade almost like an investor so to speak and only look at opportunities where the market is certain to turn in your direction, however still using calculated position sizing. Lastly, what I will say is, people want to strategise only in the technicals and think the answers is laying there, they would never think of being more strategic with their leverage and position sizing, investors do this well.
This is such weird timing. I’ve stopped scalping and it wasn’t an intentional decision! I just wake up and my mom rushes me to get ready for work so I don’t have time to sit the entire New York session looking at these charts. I’ve been taking my entries on higher time frames and I’m realizing all I have to do is just check up on my trade throughout the day and boom! My strategy works the same on the bigger timeframes! Thank you for validating my decision to switch things up
Cooles Video Bernd. Und wie immer sehr informativ. Ich folge Imantrading denn der typ nimmt sich die Zeit um andere zu exposen. Als ich das sah dachte ich nur wie krass. Ich habe vieles ausprobiert Option Trading, Bitcoin und und und. Bin mehrmals auf die Fresse geflogen😂 aber nur so lernt man. Momentan bin ich Futures in Wochen, täglich, 4Stunden am traden und in 15 min führe ich meine trades aus, bin aber momentan nur noch am üben üben üben. Bis ich weiß dass ich profitable bin.

sir i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, many reasons to thank you, first i learnt that professional have scalp , intraday trading is only for successful trader,6-9 trade a day is for profitable trader, everything is gone contrast, i am really thankful to you sir,
I really love the honesty and I am your fan Bernd. But for me it was different I swing trade and I found my edge and consistency in scalping . I am scalping futures but I think that Everybody is different and for some people and some personalities scalping is good choice. I´can agree for 100% that swing trading is better option for most people.Thank you for your content.
Our favourite certified trader is here to disrupt the industry to call it for what it is to what it must be!!! Love the video Bernd #GreetsfromSouthAfrica
Every beginner trader should watch this video! Sure some traders may initially make money with scalping, but long term most of them lose all their profits.
My God. I don't know why it is the fast success and money making mentality I guess I really hated swing. But your one video made me believe it. Thanks man thanks a lot deeply.
If you dont have an edge Than no matter what kind of trader you are since you can blow Swing just slower Than Scalp trading. In my opinion if you have a right edge and emotion control than scalping is the best way to grow smaller accounts which are under amount of xxmillion $ and for learning curve also scalping is better way to practice But appreciate your style Bernd since you are proven successful trader I really enjoy to watch your contents.Hope you the best forward 💫
Mathematically you're extremely unlikely to scalp your way to millions of dollars. Its much harder to have an edge scalping forex because of the spreads and more trades does not equal more money.
I explained it correctly. Scaling up is impossible with scalping. Smaller accounts you might be right. But not into millions! Thanks for your comment! Valuable comments are always highly appreciated 🔥🤝
Great video i am doing scalping and blowing my account.Scalping is such a headache all time in front of charts will gave so much stress and its emotionally effect our decisions on while trading we make wrong decisions. So i am switching to swing trade from today.Thanks for explaining so well.
I trust you Idol.. I am trying to be scalper but it's hard for me because i have daily job. The profit is not stable and very stressful. That's why I am starting to change my strategy which is fit for me. I'm starting to be swing trader. I feel more have freedom and lessen stress and feel more relax and focus on important matter in life like family and friends..
Thank you sir.... really appreciate the gems you thrown in this videos..i am also a swing trader now..what you said in the video is 100 percent correct..thank youp
I am 3 weeks into my trading journey and uncovered 2 fundamental concepts thus far: 1. RUclips is full of noise about trading, and its difficult to know what noise is worth listening to|| 2. Scalping is very hard: I have been up $1200 and down $1200 in the same hour. I have also made $2000 one day, and lost $2000 the next day. You are spot on about the stress level
@@berndskorupinski I wanted to share with you I had (3) winning trades today, thanks to your guidance on your videos. I trade the DOW, S&P and Oil Futures, on the 1 hour timeframe, using a 1:1 risk/reward ratio, using 2% of my account value, going short. I took my time, evaluated the setups, marked the support and resistance zones and trend patterns, and executed. Each trade lasted about 2 hours, and all (3) were winners. Today felt like the first time I traded "properly" Thank you Bernd!
I started out scalping, found more success in swinging but went back to scalping. Now i’m going back to swinging and will not go back to scalping again😂.
Definitely what he said is like my life story scalping,i have thought of changing strategy to day trading or swing. For once scalping takes most of ur profit and commission per trade.Scalping can makes a trader more aggressive leading to confusing.Now am convince to change trategy after watching ur video someone posted on X.
Hi use 9 ema and 15 ema only try this in volatility markey - When price is in doentrend let price touch the uper ema then take sell And do opposite for buy make sure they make 30 ' angle. Ema. - Try backtesting if it will work apply been using for liquidity market❤
hey Bernd, ur absolutely right about swing over scalping, but I do believe you need to start out and get chopped out in the lower timeframes to learn how to execute and solidify ur psychology, and when it comes to ICT, I have seen the video by Iman but I completely stand by his concepts and I use his concepts solely to swing trade and achieve massive Rs by taking maximum 4 trades a month!
Love it i look back at my trades and its so rediculas i coukd have made some bank if i swung traded the setups i scalped with the same risk to. Been struggling for to long got to make changes thansk for your videos
ou're one of the most legitimate and honest traders I've seen in the industry. I wish you continued success! I one question please, noticed in your Funded Next and VST challenges that most of your positions are long. Is there a specific reason for this bias?
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! During that period of time the market cycles supported long positions...Hence I was long. No other particular reason.
greatly inspired by your fundamental approach to choosing which pair you will trade on your "Titans of Tomorrow" interview with Waqar asim. was just wondering what websites, news articles you use in particular and what type of news to look out for would be greatly appreciated thank you. you are the goat.
@@berndskorupinski thank you for all the content and knowledge you provide for traders who aspire to follow in your footsteps! Def some big shoes to fill 😅
I wanted to trade the 5m so I wouldn't have to wait "so long" to know the results. The results came soon but weren't good 😅. I would have stopped trading after a set time so not to spend all day at the charts. Easier said than done, it becomes addictive (I'm not easily addicted!) and whenever you have time you'll want to trade. Thank goodness my child was born so I had no time for the 5m anymore, especially as your videos weren't around to save me!
Looks like your child unknowingly saved you from the 5m trading trap! Who knew babies could be financial advisors? :) But thank you for sharing the reality and being authentic! Sharing the real life is so much more valuable than all the superficial BS out there.
Swing trading is not easier than scalping, nor is it any harder. Becoming profitable trading requires you to understand and find your edge and stick with your strategy in a very unforgiving, and un emotional mindset. Also, prices fractal, so what happens on these larger time frames happens on the smaller time frames… Don’t believe me? Go to a lower time frame and ask someone without showing them what timeframe it is and see if they can tell the difference between a daily or a one minute. You’ll see there is very little difference. It’s lifestyle preference IMO. If you can’t trade during a specific kill zone, when volume is high, or gives you the edge, then you can just set up for swing trading. Just wanted to share my insight on it as someone who has been trading 7 yrs and trades with both trading methods professionally using one strategy. Keep it simple and find your edge. 🤟
Its love to see how you reply everyone from your side ❤ But i think swing trade may risk more money than mid term trading For a beginner Put a SL as Daily candle can be harmful 😅
For me I have tried and I know 1 min 5 min price action is mostly rubbish on its own. Only higher time frames rules. Either from a swing or day trade in order to profit is still looking at the higher time frames. Less stress less effort to keep looking at the charts is great.
Great video as always Bernd. I feel totally identified, I am in the process between work and trading. I learned in a face-to-face ICT course and the teaching was more focused on Scalping, which makes working and trading very difficult. So as a beginner I didn't know any other way to do it but I always thought, not having so much knowledge and experience, some way to do trading and keep up the work for the moment, so since I watch your videos I try to focus on your way of trading, the "Set, Forget and Get a Life"(T-Shirt idea xD) is what I'm aiming for. Greetings and looking forward to the Supply/Demand videos!!!

I love you men, I really do, please keep up doing this cause it really help people and drag them out side the darkness
I won’t stop ever! I can’t listen to all the BS in the social media space! So much misinformation being spread!
@@berndskorupinski that awesome 💯
Prop Firm trader here. One thing about swing trading is that you must embrace being comfortable with being uncomfortable, as you sit through drawdown. Thank you for helping me align myself with something that matches my personality , I believed the hype of scalping until you enlightened me. Now my results are much more consistent.
But you have to have your SL in place anyway. It is the same concept as with any trading style...Thanks for sharing your experience. Happy you changed your believe system and I created better results for you!
Am a swing strategy learning student, but looking for scalping strategy for making higher reward, thanks for clearung my doubts and myths , now i will focus in my swing trading , thanks for the information ❤️
Most welcome! I am happy that I could clarify a few things for you!
Have blown so many accounts scalping but actually made money when i was swinging and looked back at my week and had my first blue week!
Thank you for being REAL and sharing real life trading experience and show case what scalping does to most traders accounts.
Finally, someone speaking the truth about swing trading and the absurdity of the ICT cult 😂 Great video bro.
Glad to be the voice of reason in the midst of the ICT chaos. It's like the wild west out there!
I used to do intraday not necessarily scalping but me and my dad trade and I am the person who is patient and likes to hold trade for longer even if I take some heat. When you are swing trading (which I am now) you start getting used to being negative for a while just respecting the companies rules and of course the strategy. sometimes I over leverage and It can go against me or I enter too early for the winning trade. Anyways I finally passed an 100k ftmo challenge and about to get paid out next week. I dont even have to place another trade.
Thank you for making this videos and repeating in my face that I did the right choice!
That's awesome news! You crushed the challenge and now it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Keep up the fantastic work!
I trade more than 200 times last 5 month just for my acc to be breached. After watching this video, I figured out that I'm doing all the "Don'ts". I back tested immediately then noticed that I could be more profitable in swing 1:1rr than scalping 1:4rr. Thank you sir, this video needs more views specially the beginners like me. 💯
It's great to hear that the video helped you analyze your trading strategy and make a positive change!
As a new trader im very happy to find channel like you Bernd. I wish you always the best 👌
Welcome aboard!
@berndskorupinski First of all thanks for your answer. I appreciate it. Smc is on low TF as well and as I imagine is also scalping. You think it's the same Bernd? BTW are you German? 🥰🥰
I will be your Best Student Boss! in shaa llah 🚀🚀🚀☝🏼🤲🏼
Hehe Walid, that’s a nice ambitious goal 🤝🔥
No you won't... I will
I’m a father and just swing trading is best for me I still have job so I work 60 hours a week to sustain my wife & 2 boys. Hoping to make trading my full time job so don’t have to live at work forever
You’re the only legend I listen too now. Thank you 🤝
I use to scalp myself & I use to try to make it work with my schedule and it was impossible used to feel so stressed because it felt like trading success would never happen to me. You gave me direction & hope 🙏🏼
One of my favorite comments! If I haven't pinned a comment yet, I would pin yours! Because it's reflecting the reality, it's authentic, it's raw, it's what 99% of the population is going through...Social media with all it's flashy gadgets is just show. Thank you so much for sharing this! I hope a lot of people will see your comment. I also shared it in my instagram story because it is so powerful! People really have to wake up!
@@berndskorupinski yes I saw that you shared it! Yes it’s definitely reality people have families and responsibilities to handle on a daily basis. People need something practical like you mentioned. Keep doing what you’re doing 🤝💯
Learning greatly from you . Anticipating for this amazing insight
Actually it’s an important video to be honest. It will not disappoint.
Exactly. I struggled with patience for years, but Swings are so much better.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's great to hear that swings have brought you comfort.
Danke Bernd ! Wie lange würdest du sagen, hat es für dich gedauert mit Swings im Durchschnitt gefunded zu werden? Deine 2% Risiko pro Trade scheinen eine gute Strategie zu sein. @@berndskorupinski
To be honest, started learning ICT and it just wasn’t adding up, dropped everything and decided to find a different path. Glad I found your channel. Keep up the great works. Some suggestions for content;
- Playlist of your entry and exit strategy
-What to look out for when choosing a prop firm
-How to start trading as a business
ICT? More like "I Can't Trade"! But hey, at least you found your way to us!
Can't believe he called out Iman. Wonder if he knows that Iman made his own scalping strategy on the 30 second chart 😅
Iman doesn’t claim that he is consistent 😉
@@berndskorupinski meant no disrepect brother. Love your work. 👍
@@berndskorupinski You are absolutely correct
They should have an interview!
I agree with you 💯 , the past 3 weeks all i do is to find the daily timeframe trend the lock for the daily swing and wait the market to get to the zone
Great! Just continue doing what you are doing 🤝
Hey Bernd, nice video, I made a similar video to this a year ago but nowhere near this quality but what I found is that people won't listen to this advice and they will still go back to where the action is foolishly. It is also one of my least viewed videos. However I truly believe it is the only way to make consistent profits, HTF trading with small positions is key. But let them live and learn.
Great, thanks for your comment! I know people will not listen…at least most of it…in trading people only listen when they feel the pain…losing money…many of them will fail miserably before they learn. And it’s ok, the choice is theirs. I am just a vocal trader that has a strong opinion of things backed by MY RESULTS.
@@berndskorupinski yes, you are truly showing the fruits of your labour. The market is like Pac-Man on the lower time frames, with the all the whipsawing eating stops and fuelling the urge to overtrade, a very dangerous place to be. It’s better to trade almost like an investor so to speak and only look at opportunities where the market is certain to turn in your direction, however still using calculated position sizing. Lastly, what I will say is, people want to strategise only in the technicals and think the answers is laying there, they would never think of being more strategic with their leverage and position sizing, investors do this well.
This is such weird timing. I’ve stopped scalping and it wasn’t an intentional decision! I just wake up and my mom rushes me to get ready for work so I don’t have time to sit the entire New York session looking at these charts. I’ve been taking my entries on higher time frames and I’m realizing all I have to do is just check up on my trade throughout the day and boom! My strategy works the same on the bigger timeframes! Thank you for validating my decision to switch things up
Keep up the HTF. Way more relaxed that way!
Cooles Video Bernd. Und wie immer sehr informativ. Ich folge Imantrading denn der typ nimmt sich die Zeit um andere zu exposen. Als ich das sah dachte ich nur wie krass. Ich habe vieles ausprobiert Option Trading, Bitcoin und und und. Bin mehrmals auf die Fresse geflogen😂 aber nur so lernt man. Momentan bin ich Futures in Wochen, täglich, 4Stunden am traden und in 15 min führe ich meine trades aus, bin aber momentan nur noch am üben üben üben. Bis ich weiß dass ich profitable bin. Dein Kanal hat viel mehr verdient als dieser Haufen betrüger. Respekt an dich und besten Dank für deine Zeit Bruder. Schönes Wochenende und viele Grüße aus der Schweiz.
Danke für deine Unterstützung! Es freut mich, dass du meinen Kanal verfolgst. Viel Erfolg beim Üben und Trading! Lass mich wissen, wenn Du Fragen hast, kannst Dich jederzeit an mich wenden. Und es würde mich interessieren, ob Du Erfolge mit deiner Strategie erzielst. Auf jeden Fall, wünsche ich Dir nur das Beste!
@@berndskorupinski Besten Dank für deine schnelle Antwort. Ich werde mich an dich wenden sobald ich fragen habe, danke. Ja werde dich sofort kontaktieren ob die Strategien die ich am testen bin wirklich funktionieren oder nicht. Danke nochmals, beste Grüße
New lesson to learn about forex industry Thank you for high quality content 🙏🙏🙏
Always happy to share my insights 🤝💙
You are absolutely right I made a lot of losses on scalping but when I decide to switch to swing trading I see results $
It's great to hear that you found success with swing trading after struggling with scalping!
sir i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, many reasons to thank you, first i learnt that professional have scalp , intraday trading is only for successful trader,6-9 trade a day is for profitable trader, everything is gone contrast, i am really thankful to you sir,
Thank you for your positive comment. Very important: don’t fall for all the scalping nonsense on RUclips!
I really love the honesty and I am your fan Bernd. But for me it was different I swing trade and I found my edge and consistency in scalping . I am scalping futures but I think that Everybody is different and for some people and some personalities scalping is good choice. I´can agree for 100% that swing trading is better option for most people.Thank you for your content.
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your experience with me. It's always interesting to hear how different traders find their edge.
Followed you sir. Being a top trader of the5%ers is not a joke. And I know your contents will be legit. Thanks. And continue helping us beginners.
I appreciate that! But I have nothing to do with 5%ers...I am the top FTMO trader ;)
@@berndskorupinski oh I'm sorry. Haha. Still though. Not an easy thing to do.
Our favourite certified trader is here to disrupt the industry to call it for what it is to what it must be!!! Love the video Bernd #GreetsfromSouthAfrica
Your kind words mean a lot to me. Thanks for watching and showing love!
Finally I met a mature person trading forex...thank you
Switching to Swing / Intra-day trading had the most notible impact on my trading, and I can see exactly when I made that change in my data.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear how a shift in trading approach can make such a significant difference.
Thank you 🙏🏿 so much for your support and help ❤
No problem 😊
Switching from scalping to swing trading was the best decision I ever made. Way less stressful
That's amazing! Less stress and more success, sounds like a win-win. Keep up the great work!
Scalping is nothing but total frustration. Thanks for the video. 👍
Tell me about it ;)
Every beginner trader should watch this video! Sure some traders may initially make money with scalping, but long term most of them lose all their profits.
My God. I don't know why it is the fast success and money making mentality I guess I really hated swing. But your one video made me believe it. Thanks man thanks a lot deeply.
If you dont have an edge Than no matter what kind of trader you are since you can blow Swing just slower Than Scalp trading.
In my opinion if you have a right edge and emotion control than scalping is the best way to grow smaller accounts which are under amount of xxmillion $
and for learning curve also scalping is better way to practice
But appreciate your style Bernd since you are proven successful trader I really enjoy to watch your contents.Hope you the best forward 💫
Mathematically you're extremely unlikely to scalp your way to millions of dollars. Its much harder to have an edge scalping forex because of the spreads and more trades does not equal more money.
I totally agree, scalping for me is just more time efficient, I prefere to know faster when I am right or wrong.
@@Mrborgir24 He is emotionally attached to scalping, but what you said is 100% correct
I explained it correctly. Scaling up is impossible with scalping. Smaller accounts you might be right. But not into millions! Thanks for your comment! Valuable comments are always highly appreciated 🔥🤝
Thanks Bernd !
@@berndskorupinski
Love this 🎉 I use the daily for analysis and the H1 for entry . Love the swing trading ❤
Great to hear! Perfect if this works for you!
Same here 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Bernds Focus and intensity is truly inspirational.
Thank you 🙏🔥
Thanks Men🙏 , what u r explaining will help by far when u r comparing to scalp
Glad it was helpful!
Great video i am doing scalping and blowing my account.Scalping is such a headache all time in front of charts will gave so much stress and its emotionally effect our decisions on while trading we make wrong decisions. So i am switching to swing trade from today.Thanks for explaining so well.
this is hands down, the TRUTH. More power to you Bernd.
I trust you Idol.. I am trying to be scalper but it's hard for me because i have daily job. The profit is not stable and very stressful. That's why I am starting to change my strategy which is fit for me. I'm starting to be swing trader. I feel more have freedom and lessen stress and feel more relax and focus on important matter in life like family and friends..
Great video. There's no point replacing your 9-5 with another one.
100% 🤝
As an old scalper who blew up many many accounts am 100% agree with you
Thank you for being real and sharing your experience with me!
bro is a G, i would like to see your exact concepts about trading like a chart study and live trade
Thank you, but most of it I do only for our community. Please watch my challenge documentaries if you want to understand my strategy.
Thank you sir.... really appreciate the gems you thrown in this videos..i am also a swing trader now..what you said in the video is 100 percent correct..thank youp
Thank you for acknowledging the facts! Happy swing trading my friend
This is so true and works for me. By swing trading I can easily profitable by 1:4 RR
Thank you for sharing your success with swing trading! It's great to hear that it's working out well for you.
I'm not arguing but I learned and I have success with ICT.
Bro people always say that but make $0
I am 3 weeks into my trading journey and uncovered 2 fundamental concepts thus far:
1. RUclips is full of noise about trading, and its difficult to know what noise is worth listening to||
2. Scalping is very hard: I have been up $1200 and down $1200 in the same hour. I have also made $2000 one day, and lost $2000 the next day. You are spot on about the stress level
1. RUclips is not the place where you get proper trading education.
2. Scalping sucks. Stop it.
@@berndskorupinski I wanted to share with you I had (3) winning trades today, thanks to your guidance on your videos.
I trade the DOW, S&P and Oil Futures, on the 1 hour timeframe, using a 1:1 risk/reward ratio, using 2% of my account value, going short.
I took my time, evaluated the setups, marked the support and resistance zones and trend patterns, and executed.
Each trade lasted about 2 hours, and all (3) were winners.
Today felt like the first time I traded "properly"
Thank you Bernd!
I started out scalping, found more success in swinging but went back to scalping. Now i’m going back to swinging and will not go back to scalping again😂.
haha thanks for being honest and sharing the reality with us!
Kudos for calling ICT out. The cult he created is just too much.
Fully agree. Why would anyone listen to someone who fakes statements.
great video, as always Bernd, see you at your trading Campus
See you there 🤝💙
Definitely what he said is like my life story scalping,i have thought of changing strategy to day trading or swing. For once scalping takes most of ur profit and commission per trade.Scalping can makes a trader more aggressive leading to confusing.Now am convince to change trategy after watching ur video someone posted on X.
Amazing content my dear friend! Daily chart is pure Gold 😎
Couldn't agree more!
Hi use 9 ema and 15 ema only try this in volatility markey -
When price is in doentrend let price touch the uper ema then take sell
And do opposite for buy make sure they make 30 ' angle. Ema. -
Try backtesting if it will work apply been using for liquidity market❤
Whatever works works…all the best for you!
Swing Trading el mejor método, con defensiva ( Gestion de Riesgo ) y ofensiva ( Paciencia ), te vuelves consistentemente Rentable! Saludos Bernd 💎.
Thank you for your insightful comment! Consistency and risk management are indeed crucial in swing trading.
hey Bernd, ur absolutely right about swing over scalping, but I do believe you need to start out and get chopped out in the lower timeframes to learn how to execute and solidify ur psychology, and when it comes to ICT, I have seen the video by Iman but I completely stand by his concepts and I use his concepts solely to swing trade and achieve massive Rs by taking maximum 4 trades a month!
Thank you for your valuable comment! In my world though I would never listen to someone who fakes trading statements.
Today is my first day to your RUclips channel, but i love your video❤❤❤
It’s about time 😅 welcome to the club 😎💪
Thanks
Thankyou for all the abundance of knowledge snd information ❤
Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot to know that the content is appreciated.
Are there any other youtubers you like? 😅 keep it up Bernd, you are a breath of fresh air! 🙂
Not soooo many 😉🤝
Love it i look back at my trades and its so rediculas i coukd have made some bank if i swung traded the setups i scalped with the same risk to. Been struggling for to long got to make changes thansk for your videos
IN BERND we believe, thank you for stepping up and changing this industry for good it about that time
Thanks a lot for the shoutout and being part of the movement!
Great one I just moved since 2 month ago scalper to swing thanks why didn't make before 2 months ❤❤❤
Better late than never, right? At least you've made the switch now!
@@berndskorupinski thank you so much ❤️❤️
Super Video, wie Al Brooks schon selber sagte, Scalping is a hobby
haha da hatte er wohl recht!
ou're one of the most legitimate and honest traders I've seen in the industry. I wish you continued success! I one question please, noticed in your Funded Next and VST challenges that most of your positions are long. Is there a specific reason for this bias?
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! During that period of time the market cycles supported long positions...Hence I was long. No other particular reason.
words of wisdom.... absolutely true to the point ...I love it ...
Awesome to hear you loved it! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
greatly inspired by your fundamental approach to choosing which pair you will trade on your "Titans of Tomorrow" interview with Waqar asim.
was just wondering what websites, news articles you use in particular and what type of news to look out for would be greatly appreciated thank you.
you are the goat.
I created my own fundamental tools. I don't use any websites etc. for that purpose.
shout out to Iman trading, Great video Bernd!!!
Yes I really enjoyed the video where he exposed ICT
My biggest wins have been from swings, def better RR and a lot less stress 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing your real experience! Much appreciated!
@@berndskorupinski thank you for all the content and knowledge you provide for traders who aspire to follow in your footsteps! Def some big shoes to fill 😅
It depends. Cant be bothered to explain why. It just depends to the method and RM u r using😊
Looking forward to "ICT is a Scam" segment haha
😅🤐🤫
Thank you for the video. So real and nature
You are welcome! Always being authentic!
I wanted to trade the 5m so I wouldn't have to wait "so long" to know the results. The results came soon but weren't good 😅. I would have stopped trading after a set time so not to spend all day at the charts. Easier said than done, it becomes addictive (I'm not easily addicted!) and whenever you have time you'll want to trade. Thank goodness my child was born so I had no time for the 5m anymore, especially as your videos weren't around to save me!
Looks like your child unknowingly saved you from the 5m trading trap! Who knew babies could be financial advisors? :) But thank you for sharing the reality and being authentic! Sharing the real life is so much more valuable than all the superficial BS out there.
@@berndskorupinski babies are the best :) Thanks, totally agree, power to the truth especially when it's tough 💪
Swing trading is not easier than scalping, nor is it any harder. Becoming profitable trading requires you to understand and find your edge and stick with your strategy in a very unforgiving, and un emotional mindset.
Also, prices fractal, so what happens on these larger time frames happens on the smaller time frames… Don’t believe me? Go to a lower time frame and ask someone without showing them what timeframe it is and see if they can tell the difference between a daily or a one minute.
You’ll see there is very little difference.
It’s lifestyle preference IMO. If you can’t trade during a specific kill zone, when volume is high, or gives you the edge, then you can just set up for swing trading.
Just wanted to share my insight on it as someone who has been trading 7 yrs and trades with both trading methods professionally using one strategy.
Keep it simple and find your edge. 🤟
Just wondering do you have any certificates that back up your scalping and in general trading claims?
Really nice video ! Thanks Bernd
Glad you enjoyed it
This too great bro 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😀
Its love to see how you reply everyone from your side ❤
But i think swing trade may risk more money than mid term trading
For a beginner Put a SL as Daily candle can be harmful 😅
Thank you! But I have to challenge everything else you are saying haha ;)
@@berndskorupinski
I am a novice trader sir , you are much much pro than me
Maybe I am wrong , but in my style , its the only way 🥲
Agree. Scalping is a disaster because you get stopped out lots of times especially in the super volatile Forex market.
That's exactly the point. Thanks for sharing.
SCALPING IT'S HARD BUT WORKS. YOU NEED MORE DISCIPLINE BECAUSE THERE WILL BE ALWAYS A LOT OF OPPORTINUTIES.
No need for capital letters to make your point. Lol. All the best for your Khalifa.
haha "headache induced scalping journey." that thing will give you migraines! Great video. thanks
Cara, legenda esses vídeos para nós brasileiros, amamos seu conteúdo ❤️✌️✌️
How to do that...It is sooo much work haha
@@berndskorupinski contrata um BR para traduzir, vai expandir o alcance do canal 🤩🤩🤩
For me I have tried and I know 1 min 5 min price action is mostly rubbish on its own. Only higher time frames rules. Either from a swing or day trade in order to profit is still looking at the higher time frames. Less stress less effort to keep looking at the charts is great.
Absolutely, focusing on higher time frames can definitely be a game-changer in trading. Thanks for sharing your inside and experience!
Great video as always Bernd. I feel totally identified, I am in the process between work and trading. I learned in a face-to-face ICT course and the teaching was more focused on Scalping, which makes working and trading very difficult. So as a beginner I didn't know any other way to do it but I always thought, not having so much knowledge and experience, some way to do trading and keep up the work for the moment, so since I watch your videos I try to focus on your way of trading, the "Set, Forget and Get a Life"(T-Shirt idea xD) is what I'm aiming for. Greetings and looking forward to the Supply/Demand videos!!!
Glad you like the "Set, Forget and Get a Life" approach, maybe we should start a T-shirt line for traders! 😄
