About me

I started Relaxed Traders as a way for me to log my trades and be more responsible with picking my trades.

I am a systematic technical trader. Price is my guiding light. I’ve always been fascinated with the technical aspect of trading and have been homing my craft for almost a decade. After studying and back testing almost every technical tool and concept out there, I have developed my own systems to fit my lifestyle.

I have a regular 9 to 5 job so I can’t trade during market hours. I prefer to prepare my trade plans at market close and let them execute without constant monitoring of the markets. Plus, I don’t want the stress of being emotional during price fluctuations.

That is why all my systems are based on the daily chart. I do a combination of swing and position trading. I don't day trade or scalp.Forex, Commodities, Indices and Crypto are running 24/5 or 24/7 which is tempting to just peek at what it’s doing. That’s why I pick stocks as my instruments to trade since they are tradable only during business hours.

I start my trading when the US market closes. I scan the market for the setups that match my systems’ criterias. Then I calculate if the results have a good risk reward ratio. And finally, for those that pass, I plot the Entry, Stop Loss and Take profit levels into my broker (IBKR) so that it’s hands off for the entire duration of the trade.

I encode multiple trades per day. I also do a quick check of all my pending and live trades. I cancel those trades where price never triggered me in as well as adjust trailing stops on those that have already advanced.

My methods are not fully automatic but I feel relaxed with how I trade and that is what’s important to me. I am sharing my setups to hopefully help others who love technical trading but have even less time than me to scan the markets. I don't guarantee perfect trades. I’m just sharing what I perceive to be good trades.
