How&#8217;s 2025 been for you as a trader? Hopefully you&#8217;ve had a good year. The market conditions have been excellent. And also, I&#8217;d like to challenge you to review your year, to see what worked, what has not worked, and what you are going to do to make sure that over the next few weeks, 2026 becomes a great trading year for you. Let&#8217;s talk about that and more right now.
Hey there, Traders! Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast number 618.
The last one for 2025. I&#8217;m outside here with the beautiful New Zealand Pohutukawa trees, which are called the New Zealand Christmas tree if you&#8217;re watching on video. They come at this time of year in December.
Beautiful red flower. But, yeah, I want to make this video just to talk about the Christmas break, about New Year.
Reviewing 2025 trading conditions.
But also to review your 2025. How have you found it? I&#8217;ve found that the market conditions this year have been really good. After maybe a couple of years of more quiet forex market conditions, this year the conditions are back again. Great movement in the market. And we&#8217;ve had a great year, like this awesome year. Great results across multiple time frame charts and multiple markets.
Daily trades at +30% for the year.
To give you an example, just our daily chart trades alone on half of 1%, and forget, we&#8217;re up at a plus 30%, three zero, for the year. And still with two weeks of trading to go. And it just shows the consistency. Every single year since 2010, our daily trades have been profitable. But another 30%, and that&#8217;s complete set and forget. So, obviously with a bit of trade management, you could do better than that.
Now, that&#8217;s one timeframe I&#8217;m talking about here. On top of that, we also post trades on the monthly charts, weekly charts, and we talk about other time frame charts such as 12 hour, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 and everything in between.
Consistency is key.
And so it just shows the consistency of not only being able to follow along and earn from your trading while following what we&#8217;re doing, but of course our job is to help you as well, for clients to learn so you know exactly what to do. You know what to look for, how and where and why to enter and exit a trade, to ensure that your risk is low and your reward to risk is really high. So really important that you know that in your strategy.
What’s worked and what has not worked for you this year?
Now, I would challenge you, if you&#8217;re not a client, to have a look at your strategy and what&#8217;s worked and what&#8217;s not worked this year. But also, you know, take this time now with the markets going to be quiet over Christmas and New Year and just have a good think about what it is that you need to do differently into 2026 if this year was not a good year for you. As mentioned, conditions have been really good this year. And therefore, if your strategy&#8217;s good, you should have had a very good year.
Multiple markets to trade well this year.
We found that, you know, the forex market has been good. The non-farm markets have been good. Just this week, we took a sell trade on US oil. That was profitable. Just earlier this morning, my time, it hit the profit target. We&#8217;ve had multiple crypto trades, other commodities and indices as well. And so even if one market&#8217;s a little bit quiet or one timeframe&#8217;s a little bit quiet, because the strategy works across all markets and all time frame charts, we&#8217;ve found really good results and conditions on the likes of US oil if, let&#8217;s say, the forex market was quiet on that same day. And that&#8217;s the beauty of being able to scan different time frame charts and different markets.
So, is that something that you need help with or is it something that you&#8217;re absolutely fine with? Just review your trades and it&#8217;s really important.
I traded while on holiday in the US for 1 month.
From a personal point of view, I had a month in the US with my wife for her 50th birthday in July and August, and the beauty is, you can trade and travel and trading just carried on exactly the same.
And, you know, that&#8217;s the beauty, isn&#8217;t it? You know, it&#8217;s not just the financial freedom. It&#8217;s the time freedom as well. Don&#8217;t forget, we&#8217;re all getting older. You know, we&#8217;ve all got less time left on this earth. Use it wisely. What&#8217;s the point in sitting glued to charts all day and night staring at charts?
It&#8217;s like I could think of nothing worse. So, having that time freedom to be able to go and do things that you want to do is just crucial. And in my opinion, anyway, I just think it&#8217;s just as important as the financial gain is the time freedom that trading offers you. So, have a good review of everything from your side and.
Ask us for help.
If you need any help with anything, just sing out like we are. I mean, it&#8217;s obviously summertime here in New Zealand. This time of year onwards, December into January, is generally a pretty quiet, cruisy time of year, lots of barbecues and things like that. So we are around, we&#8217;re here to help and make this work for you.
Attend my 30 minutes Masterclass.
And, if you have not been on my masterclass, I encourage you over the next few weeks to spend an hour and just have a look through the website and half an hour on the masterclass.
And go and look at the previous videos that I&#8217;ve made like this. There are 618 of them. You&#8217;re going to learn a lot of those, listen to some podcasts if you&#8217;ve got some free time of these recordings as well, and just make use of the next month conditions over Christmas and New Year. Obviously the markets stay open for majority of that time. But conditions will either be really, really quiet on a lot of those markets or, due to thin volume, they could be quite, you know, quite wild and erratic. So you never really know.
Our Christmas break.
But either way, we&#8217;re stopping trading on the 19th, I think it is on the Friday, and we&#8217;re not starting until Monday the 11th, I think that is, January. Just having a good break, well-earned break. We&#8217;ve showed up every single day for our daily trades.
We&#8217;re on the forum site the whole time. We do our live webinars for our clients every single week. We put huge effort into making it work for us and our clients and consistency and showing up is key.
Our 17th year next year at TFTC.
So, next May in 26, we turn 17 years old here at The Forex Trading Coach, something that myself and the team are immensely proud of, of what we&#8217;ve achieved personally with the strategy and our own trading and the community that we&#8217;ve built up over those years and the amazing clients that we have on board and the help that we&#8217;ve given people from right around the world. And, like, you go out there and have a look online.
Who&#8217;s out there that&#8217;s been around for 17 years in this market? You know, you&#8217;re going to find hundreds, if not thousands of made up people on TikTok and Instagram and that type of thing. The majority aren&#8217;t real. We&#8217;re there doing this day in, day out. And the proof is in the longevity.
By the way, the strategy in that time has never changed.
You can go back and have a look at my daily trading posts from 2010 and look at the live webinars from 2010. Everything remains the same. So consistency of showing up, consistency in the strategy. We&#8217;re not jumping and changing all over the place like most people do. We&#8217;re not making it up and changing it. Conditions change. This is real, real people outside doing things, family people, you know, just normal people, if that&#8217;s what appeals to you.
And, and you&#8217;re not interested in the flashy red Ferraris and the made up trades, and you want real trading that you can do and enjoy your life at the same time, I really encourage you to have a look and consider coming on board with us and letting us help you for next year. So that&#8217;s it for this year.
Thanks for your support and happy Christmas and New Year.
It&#8217;s been an awesome year, been a great year. I&#8217;d like to thank everybody for watching and listening and of course all the team here at The Forex Trading Coach and especially all the clients as well.
It&#8217;s great to have you on board. Loved the community and the interaction that we have helping each other. And I&#8217;d just like to take this opportunity to wish you all a fantastic Christmas, have a safe and enjoyable time, whatever you&#8217;re doing.
And have a great New Year and look forward to seeing you in 2026 when we do it all again.
This is Andrew Mitchem here at The Forex Trading Coach. Happy Christmas. See you next year. Bye for now.
