Let’s Find the Best Forex Trading Strategy for You
Although I have refined my approach to Forex trading over several years, it may not be suitable for you in its current form.Trading is a journey of constant learning and self-discovery. That’s why my ultimate goal is to help you create the foundations of your own self-discovery journey towards trading success.

SPIRITUAL MEASURES
The spiritual aspects of my approach to Forex coaching include:
Chakras
Chakras and trading both require balance, awareness, and alignment. The market is full of noise, but real success comes from within – trusting your instincts, staying disciplined, and maintaining clarity.
My approach helps you build a trading mindset that aligns with your unique style, blending spirituality with science. When your mind and energy are in sync, you trade with confidence and control. Master the market by mastering yourself.
Meditation
Meditation is a powerful tool for clearing the mind and sharpening focus. It helps you detach from distractions and centre your thoughts, enabling you to make more grounded, confident decisions.
By incorporating meditation into your routine, you can reduce stress, enhance mental clarity, and cultivate a calm, focused mindset. In this section, we’ll guide you through techniques that will help you harness the full potential of meditation for improved performance and peace of mind.
Manifestation & Visualisation
Good forex trading strategies start with a clear vision. Manifestation isn’t just wishful thinking – it’s about training your mind to spot opportunities. When you focus on a goal, your brain filters the noise and highlights what truly matters. This is why the best forex trading strategies involve both mindset and method.
Through meditation and visualisation, you sharpen your selective attention, allowing you to recognise patterns and make smarter trades. The market moves fast, but when you’re aligned with your goals, you see opportunities others miss. Manifest your success by seeing it before it happens.
Inner Peace & Happiness
Happiness isn’t found outside—it’s built from within. Chasing material goals might bring temporary satisfaction, but the cycle never ends. True fulfilment comes when you stop relying on external rewards and start nurturing your inner peace. Happiness is a mindset, and like anything worthwhile, it requires daily effort.
Intuition
Intuition is one of the most powerful yet underrated tools. I absolutely love it—it’s like having a best friend by your side every day. Instead of constantly battling your thoughts, you start to understand that those inner voices are just trying to protect you. Here, I’ll give you the foundation to study and trust your intuition, turning it into your greatest asset.
SCIENTIFIC & HEALTH RELATED MEASURES
Scientifically proven and health-related measures that are part of my custom coaching programmes for Forex traders include:
Good Hydration
Hydration is key to sharp decision-making. Your brain is 75% water, and even a 2% drop can impact focus, mood, and performance. Drinking water first thing in the morning sets the tone for your day, keeping your mind clear and alert.
When I tracked my emotions, I noticed a pattern – on days I skipped water, my trades were impulsive, and my mindset suffered. It might seem small, but the best forex trading strategy isn’t just about charts and numbers; it’s about building habits that keep you in peak condition. Stay hydrated, stay sharp, and stay in control.
A Consistent Routine
One of the hardest parts of trading is sticking to your strategy. I avoid trading during the Asian session to protect my sleep. I closed a trade for peace of mind, only to watch it move in my favour. Frustrating? Yes. But I’ve learned that sacrificing sleep leads to poor decisions the next day. At least I locked in £1000 and got the rest I needed.
Right now, I’m in a 7.5% drawdown, and it’s tough. Anxiety kicks in, and focus fades. But holding myself accountable through this group keeps me on track. Leading by example works – because discipline always wins in the long run.
My routine involves exercise, making time for myself – and my family – and choosing the right times of the day to trade.
Exercise
Exercise isn’t just about fitness – it’s a tool for mental clarity, focus, and discipline. Movement fuels the mind, sharpens decision-making, and builds resilience. Just like in trading, consistency is key. The stronger your body, the stronger your mindset. Here, we’ll explore how physical activity can elevate your performance in every aspect of life.
Anxiety Reduction
Anxiety can cloud your judgment and hinder your focus, but learning to manage it is a game-changer. Reducing anxiety isn't about eliminating stress, it's about gaining control over it. Through simple techniques, you can calm your mind, regain clarity, and stay composed under pressure. In this section, we’ll explore effective strategies to reduce anxiety and boost your confidence in every decision you make.
Mastering Drawdown
Whether I’m helping people with Forex day trading strategies or long-term lifestyle approaches to trading success, I always emphasise the importance of drawdown.
Drawdown was one of my biggest challenges when I started trading, often triggering a mindset of lack. If I started with a loss, I would mentally prepare for the worst and expect to lose the entire account. Understanding and managing drawdown is crucial because it forces you into a place of scarcity.
The key to overcoming drawdown is confidence and effective risk management. I use specific drawdown levels and adjust my risk accordingly. For example, in a prop firm, you’re typically given a 10% overall drawdown and a 5% daily limit. I’ve personally pulled myself out of a 9.7% drawdown, so I know it’s possible with the right mindset and strategy.
Let’s consider a £50k challenge:
● You lose 1% on your first trade, leaving £49,500.
● Then, you take another loss, dropping to £49,000.
● Once I hit drawdown, I reduce my risk to 0.5% or even 0.25%.
● Past 7% drawdown, it’s mentally tough to recover unless you get a strong trade.
Reducing your risk minimises further losses and helps you manage the stress of a losing streak.
I’ve learned the hard way to only risk max 1% per trade, and recognising your triggers is key to avoiding emotional reactions, like removing stop-losses or over-leveraging to make up for losses.
