Round numbers. What are they? How can you use them and why are they so important? Let’s talk about that and more right now. Hi there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with this week’s video and podcast number 639. Round numbers will help your trading results. So I want to talk to you about round numbers because it’s something that I find most people don’t use and don’t understand. And you don’t see the importance of it, probably because they don’t look at the price axis. You see, most people, when they get into trading, they’re worried about this line moving over that line and a moving average crossing over or MACD changing from overbought to oversold. And they get very caught up in indicators. Traders ignore the most important part of the chart. And the issue becomes that most people ignore what is probably the most important part of the chart. It’s the right-hand side axis. It’s the price axis. You wouldn’t go out there in normal life buying something without considering the price. So why is it that when you suddenly want to become a trader, you take this crossover of a moving average, but you never look at the price? Why is that? Well, it’s because most people get so fixated with all these lovely squiggly lines and things, or they hear news events and they suddenly want to become fundamental traders, that they fail to look at the actual price. Go and look at the price on your charts and you’ll see that price changes over and bounces at those levels so many times. So most people ignore round numbers. What is a Round Number? What is a round number? So I classify a round number as a price level that ends in a 00 or a 50. The 00s are more important and have more weight in my opinion, but 50s are also important. So think of, let’s say, $100 or $100.50 or 101, 101.50, 102, that type of thing. So think of those types of 50s and zeros. Anything ending in a 50 or 0, they are the most important round numbers. And so those levels are important to us as traders because those levels act as natural areas of support and resistance. Support and Resistance levels. So think of support and resistance as floors and ceilings. When the price comes up to a resistance level, it hits that ceiling and it will likely bounce and fall away. Now how do you know that that’s a resistance level? Well, you can look at your charts and see a previous bounce at that level, but you can also look at the other side of your chart and go, “Oh, that’s bounced at a round number.” And so those levels suddenly become really important for you. There are so many ways you can use them. I’ll give you some examples. How to use Round Numbers in your trading. Let’s say you are buying at the close of a candle, but that candle had already gone up and hit a round number and then rejected that level. I personally would not be taking a buy trade at that point because the price has already proven to have hit that level, rejected it, and fallen away. So that’s one way of using a round number. It helps protect a trade that might end up being a losing trade. Secondly, if the price has come down and bounced at a round number and the candle low is at a round number and then turned around, that could be a good reason for that level to be a support level. It could be why the price is turning around because it’s bounced at that round number. Another way you can use round numbers is to help protect your stop loss. Let’s again say that we’re buying a currency, and we have the ability to put our stop loss below a round number. It means that the price might move up, it may come back, it may test that round number. Your stop loss, by the way, is below the round number on a buy trade. The price may come and test that round number and then head back up again. So your stop loss below a round number on a buy trade will help protect the trade. The other way of looking at a round number to your advantage is, again, if we’re saying that we’re buying a currency pair, it’s moving up and it’s moving up nicely. Make sure if there’s a round number at or near your profit target that you need for your strategy, you just bring your profit target down to below that round number. Again, the price may go up and let’s say your ...

So your breakout strategy keeps failing. What can you do to overcome that? If you trade breakouts or you’ve considered trading breakouts, this video is exactly what you need to hear. Let’s get into it. Traders, it’s Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 638. Trader has a failed breakout strategy. Just this week I’ve received an email from a trader who said, “Andrew, I need some help with breakouts. My breakout strategy is not working. It keeps failing. I keep losing money. What can you suggest?” Well, first of all, let’s understand what a breakout strategy is. For most people, it means that you’re buying at the high of a candle or a range, and you’re selling at the low of a candle or range. So that could mean you look at every 4 hours and you take a buy stop, let’s say, to buy above the high of that 4-hour range. Or you may be taking like the first 10 hours of the day or taking the European session and trading a breakout of that, whatever it is you do. There are all sorts of styles of breakout, but effectively it means you’re buying high and you’re selling low. So you’re either sitting there waiting for that price to break out of that range and you’re taking a market order, or probably the more sensible way of doing it is to put a buy stop and sell stop in, which means that when the price breaks high or low, the market automatically gets you filled into the market. False breakouts and low reward:risk trades. But the trouble is, it doesn’t generally give you a particularly good reward-to-risk. And you’ll find so many times you’ll get false breakouts. The market will move up, get your buy stop in and move up a bit, and then fall back down again. You get stopped out and it just keeps happening. So for me, I don’t actually like breakout strategies. I don’t think they are a particularly good way of trading. It’s just basically here’s a range and if it goes higher than that, we’re taking buys. If it goes lower, we’re taking sells. It doesn’t have a huge amount of other technical qualities about it. And as I mentioned, it certainly doesn’t, in most cases, give you a particularly good reward-to-risk. So therefore, for me, it’s not something I really am interested in doing. So a better way of answering the question might be to say what else can you do instead? I use limit orders and not stop orders. Now, for the last 20-plus years, I have used limit orders and it’s something that if you don’t use them, I suggest you go and have a look and consider using them. So a limit order, a buy limit or a sell limit, means to buy below the current price, and a sell limit is to sell above the current price. And already, if you think about it, to buy below the current price means that if the market should pull back down, get me filled, and then move up in my direction, I’m already massively in reward-to-risk favor. And if you imagine you’ve got a buy stop and I’ve got a buy limit in, the market moves down, gets me filled, by the time it then turns around and goes back up to your buy stop area, I’m probably already with my strategy in at least a 1-to-1 reward-to-risk trade, if not more, and you’re just getting filled on the trade. And so the likelihood of me making profit on a buy limit order is so much more than you taking profit, and good profit and good reward-to-risk, with your buy stop order. So I would consider limit orders. The markets always move up and down and retrace. So in most cases buy limit orders get filled very often and you just find that they work beautifully once you know what you’re doing. Now let’s say that the market does not pull back and you do not get filled on your buy limit order. Well, that doesn’t really matter, because all it means is that you miss out on the trade. That’s absolutely fine. You know, that happens from time to time. So have a look for buy limit orders and sell limit orders. Your reward-to-risk will improve massively.

  • #637: Why Trading Only EUR/USD Is Holding You Back

    #637: Why Trading Only EUR/USD Is Holding You Back
    Jun 14 2026
    Why Trading Only EUR/USD Is Holding You Back Podcast: Find out more about Blueberry Markets – Click Here Find out more about my Online Video Forex Course Book a Call with Andrew or one of his team now Click Here to Attend my Free Masterclass #637: Why Trading Only EUR/USD Is Holding You Back In this video: 00:25 – How many pairs do you trade? 01:00 – Don’t focus on just 1 pair. 01:25 – I look at multiple pairs to trade every day. 01:57 – A trade example. 02:42 – A strategy needs to work on all pairs, all markets and all time frames. 03:14 – Trades from this week that I’ve taken. 04:15 – Don’t take “B” grade setups. 04:52 – View our new look website and Masterclass. 05:03 – Client review testimonial videos. 06:35 – Trade and enjoy life. How many currency pairs should you look at as a trader? Should you just focus on 1 or 2 pairs, or should you look at multiple? Let’s talk about that and more right now. This is Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 637. How many pairs do you trade? So today I want to talk about currency pairs. And should you just focus on 1 or 2 pairs? And the reason I want to talk about that is I often hear about people that say, look, I just look at the EUR/USD. And that’s all I look at, and it’s all I want to focus on. And I hear other people that say to me, look, this strategy that I’ve got here, it only works on the USD/JPY on a 1-hour chart, for example. And I don’t understand why people do either of those. Don’t focus on just 1 pair. To me, it doesn’t make any logical sense, because if you’re focusing on just 1 or 2 pairs, then what happens if those pairs are not moving particularly well at the time, or they’re not giving good setups? And the reason why a strategy should only work on 1 pair or 1 time frame again, doesn’t make any logical sense if you have a good sound technical strategy. I look at multiple pairs to trade every day. So for me, I’ve for many years now, over 20 years, constantly looked at multiple forex pairs on a daily basis. And the reason I do that is I’m scanning through the charts really quickly and then say 10 minutes, 15 minutes, I then scan through all the currency pairs and other non-forex markets on multiple time frame charts once a day. Or if I want to look twice a day, I can do exactly the same. So it might take a total of 30 minutes a day. And it gives me so many more high-quality setups. So as an example, let’s go back to the EUR/USD. A trade example. If you’re trading that and there’s nothing really showing on there, then maybe you should look at the EUR/CHF, EUR/GBP, EUR/NZD, EUR/AUD, EUR/CAD, EUR/JPY. Why would you focus on just the EUR/USD? And if you are out there looking for currency strength and weakness, you can’t tell if you’re looking at just the EUR/USD. Is the euro strong? Is the euro weak? Is the US strong? Is the US weak? Are they both strong? Are they both weak? And so you’re not giving yourselves a lot of chance of having a successful strategy long term if that becomes your limitation. A strategy needs to work on all pairs, all markets and all time frames. So for me as a technical trader, a strategy should work across all currency pairs, in fact all markets and all time frame charts as well. So whether you’re looking at, say, a daily chart or a weekly chart or a 4-hour chart or a 1-hour chart, the strategy, if you have a good sound strategy, should work across all those different time frame charts as well. And again, that opens up the possibility of more quality setups. Trades from this week that I’ve taken. Now, to give you a great example, over the last week or so, some of the forex pairs have been quite dreadful to trade. There’s not been a lot of price action. There’s been a lot of sideways movement, some indecision, and sometimes at the beginning of the weeks we’re now seeing some big gaps. And, you know, therefore, by having the ability to look at shorter time frame charts, we’re seeing a lot of good shorter time frame charts. My clients have been posting a lot of 2-hour charts and 30-minute charts recently that have been really good, but also go to the other extreme on the weekly charts. I’ve got 2 trades open on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 taken off the weekly charts at the beginning of this week. They are both in excellent, excellent profit, selling both of them and based on the weekly charts, I have that longer-term bias on those 2 pairs right now that they’re dropping, which they’re currently doing. And as I’m recording this video, both of them are in very good profit. Don’t take “B” grade setups. So again, it comes back to not limiting yourself. Don’t be restrictive. Look at multiple pairs, multiple markets, multiple time frame charts. And if your strategy is good and sound and quality, then these setups will appear. And what that also does is it stops me taking what I call B-grade ...
