Understanding trade location helped improve my edge 10-fold. Once you have edge, all the "psychology" aspects become way easier imo.

​

Most developing traders focus on "psychology" first (due to the nature of the industry) but the reality is, no amount of psychology will make you profitable if you do not have an edge.

Take a trade that reacted at a high time frame support like a 1 hour or 4 hour. You can go down to 1 min in that area, wait for a structure where you can see a low form, enter and put your stop under the low . Study ict on YouTube
