How Millionaire Traders Think and Act

From my experience, the most effective and fastest way to make money in trading is by adopting a low-frequency, hands-off approach. If you’ve been following me for a while, you may already be familiar with this concept. However, in today’s lesson, I want to take it a step further and explain why it is beneficial to view trading as something you do on the side rather than relying on it as your sole source of income.

A smart trader should aim for a minimalist trading strategy—one that involves taking fewer trades but with a strong conviction. This method, often referred to as a “sniper approach,” is what I practice and recommend. One of the biggest advantages of this approach is that it allows you to have the freedom to engage in other activities while still participating in the markets. You could be traveling, working another job, managing multiple side hustles, or simply enjoying life without being glued to your screen. Instead of making trading your main focus, it should be a complement to your lifestyle. Doing this will not only reduce stress and improve your well-being but will also significantly enhance your trading performance.

Everything in life needs balance. As the saying goes, moderation is key, and that includes trading. Many traders lose money simply because they lack moderation. They obsess over the markets, staying up all night watching charts and getting addicted to short time frames. This habit leads them into the high-stress world of day trading, where they make impulsive decisions and eventually burn out.

I hope that after reading this, you will adopt a relaxed trading mindset and see yourself as a “global nomad trader.” Many wealthy individuals generate income from multiple sources rather than depending on one stream. If you truly want to build wealth, diversifying your income is crucial. This might sound unusual coming from someone teaching trading, but I want you to succeed. And the reality is, most people are more successful when they don’t rely solely on trading.

Is “Nomad Trading” Too Good to Be True?

The idea of trading from anywhere—whether at a coffee shop, on vacation, at home, or while traveling for business—may sound too good to be true, but it’s not. In fact, it’s one of the most effective trading strategies. Let me explain how to make it work for you.

Focus on Higher Time Frames

To trade like a nomad, you must concentrate on higher time frame charts, such as the weekly, daily, and four-hour charts. Lower time frames tend to be filled with noise, making them unreliable and time-consuming. If you want to understand why higher time frames are better, I recommend reading my article on the power of higher time frame trading.

By focusing on daily and weekly charts, you can analyze the market at the end of the day rather than constantly monitoring it. This approach, known as end-of-day trading, allows you to make trading decisions based on the closing price of the daily chart rather than reacting to every small market fluctuation. This strategy saves time, reduces stress, and keeps you from making impulsive trades based on intraday price movements.

Trade Less, Profit More

When you focus on higher time frames, you automatically reduce the number of trades you take. This lower trading frequency allows you to enjoy life while still being an active trader. More importantly, it improves your overall trading performance. Many traders mistakenly believe that the more they trade, the more money they will make. However, the truth is that over-trading often leads to losses due to emotional decision-making and poor risk management.

Let the Market Do the Heavy Lifting

Day traders spend hours glued to their screens, analyzing charts, overthinking their strategies, and stressing over every price movement. This constant monitoring creates information overload, leading to bad trading decisions. The reality is that many traders become addicted to the fast-paced nature of day trading—the flashing screens, price fluctuations, and thrill of placing trades. Unfortunately, this addiction often leads to losses rather than profits.

Instead of micromanaging your trades, let the market work for you. The best way to do this is by adopting a set-and-forget approach. Once you place a trade, walk away and resist the urge to constantly check the market. Doing so will prevent stress and emotional decision-making. Checking your trades frequently does not improve your results—it only increases anxiety and leads to poor decisions.

Trade to Live, Don’t Live to Trade

In an article I wrote about minimalism in trading, I explained how a “less is more” mindset applies to both trading and life. Many people believe that accumulating material possessions will bring happiness, only to realize that the excitement fades quickly. Similarly, in trading, constantly entering trades won’t necessarily lead to long-term success. Instead, a minimalistic approach will help you achieve better results.

The fewer trades you take, the less stress you experience. This, in turn, reduces the risk of over-trading and over-leveraging your account. It’s no coincidence that most successful traders and investors are not day traders. They take calculated risks, remain patient, and avoid unnecessary market noise.

Why Less Is More in Trading

When you reduce your trading activity, you will notice an improvement in your performance. But why does this happen? The answer is simple—our brains are not naturally designed for trading. We struggle with self-control and impulsive decision-making, especially when we see prices constantly fluctuating. The temptation to act on impulse is strong, and the only way to resist it is by reducing the time spent watching the markets.

By trading less, you naturally improve your self-discipline. Instead of making emotional decisions, you will stick to your strategy and wait for high-quality trade setups. This approach minimizes losses and increases profitability in the long run.

Core Principles of the Nomad Trading Strategy

If you want to trade like a nomad and achieve financial freedom, here are the key elements you need to follow:

  1. End-of-Day Trading – The foundation of the nomad trading strategy. This approach involves making trading decisions after the New York close, allowing you to analyze the market using daily charts and avoid unnecessary noise from lower time frames.
  2. Set and Forget – Once you enter a trade, leave it alone. Avoid checking the market constantly. Trust your strategy and let the market do its job. Over-monitoring your trades will only lead to stress and poor decision-making.
  3. Simple Trading Signals – The best trading strategies are simple and easy to understand. There’s no need for complicated indicators or complex systems. Price action trading is straightforward and effective. Avoid overloading your charts with unnecessary tools.
  4. Proper Money Management – Managing your risk is crucial. Never risk an amount that makes you uncomfortable. If you find yourself constantly worrying about your trades, you’re probably risking too much. Keep your risk level manageable so you can trade with confidence.

By following these principles, you can transform your trading experience. Instead of spending hours glued to your screen, you can enjoy life while still growing your trading account.

Of course, mastering this approach requires practice and discipline. You need to understand how to analyze price action, apply effective strategies, and manage your trades properly. In my professional trading course, I teach all these principles in detail, showing you how to adopt a low-frequency, stress-free approach that improves your results over time.

I encourage you to embrace this new way of trading and experience the benefits firsthand. Slow, steady progress is the key to long-term success in trading.
