Minimum $5,000 recommended for proper position sizing with CFDs or micro futures. With less capital, consider paper trading or a silver ETF until you build funds.
30-60 minutes daily is sufficient. Morning review (5-15 min), evening analysis (20-45 min), and weekend preparation (30-60 min).
European session (5-11 PM AEST) is accessible and has good liquidity. US session (11:30 PM-6 AM AEST) has best liquidity but requires late nights.
Yes, strongly recommended. Paper trade for at least 2-3 months until consistently profitable before risking real money.
Quality over quantity. 4-12 high-quality trades per month is typical for swing trading. Dont force trades.
Create a specific checklist of criteria for valid trades. Only trade when all criteria are met. Set a maximum trades per week/month.
Yes, but focus on trades in the direction of the larger trend. Short trades often have different characteristics and may require practice.
After 7-10 days without progress, review whether your original thesis is still valid. Consider exiting to free capital for better opportunities.
First, review if you followed your rules. If following rules, losses are normal. Reduce size if drawdown exceeds 10%. Take a break if feeling emotional.
Use multiple timeframes (daily for setup, 4H for entry). Use limit orders at specific levels rather than market orders. Be patient.
Only after 3-6 months of consistent profitability at current size. Increase by 25-50% maximum, then prove consistency at new level.
Track exposure by asset class. Limit correlated positions to 3-5% combined risk. Diversify across uncorrelated markets when possible.
Key metrics: Win rate, profit factor (>1.5 good), average R-multiple, max drawdown, and Sharpe ratio. Segment by setup type.
Dont change based on short-term results. Review after 50+ trades or 6 months. Small refinements better than complete overhauls.
Only consider after 2-3 years of consistent profitability. Need sufficient capital for living expenses plus trading account. Have 12-24 months expenses saved.
