“A FOREX JOURNEY TO THE DOPE GAME”

BY TRIPLE_A_FX

T.R.A.P

Take Risk And Profit


Life is about choices. Right or wrong, we learn. I always had to learn the
hard way. The purpose of this PDF is to take you down the boulevard of the
dope game and its parallels and comparatives. My goal is to break down
barriers for people and introduce a new way to approach and explain the
forex game. I’m in no way glorifying the poisoning of our communities, but
I’ve made peace with my past and I will now use my influence for growth,
positivity and education. Always remember this, the streets are just like the
markets, they ain’t got no love.

This is what I will say to


anyone who wants to
learn how to trade
currency in the foreign
exchange markets:

Put a year aside. Be ready


to fail… a lot. Don’t do it
for the money; Do it
because you found your
passion. Anything done
with passion is done well.

Now lets imagine that California and Texas are two different countries. They
will have to have their own currency. Let’s say California uses marijuana
and Texas uses cocaine as currency. These states will need to evaluate one
another’s value based on economic prowess or shortcomings and then find a
way to assess exchange rates.

Anyone who has ever bought powder knows it costs much more than tree.
Now lets say a Kilo (2.2 lbs) of raw uncut work is 30 racks. A pound of
grade A+++ rapper weed is 3 racks. That would make Texas’ currency much
stronger. It will take 1 Texas kilo of fish scale to equal 10 pounds of Cali’s
finest and freshest. That’s a 10/1 difference in value. Next week it may
exchange at 12 pounds of weed for 1 kilo depending on current market
value.

In forex it’s the same. We have what we call currency pairs. USD/JPY is is a
currency pair I trade. The first 2 letters of a pair is the country and the last
letter is denomination of currency, so USD is United States Dollar and JPY
stands for the Japanese Yen. As of right now it takes 111 Yen to equal 1 US
Dollar.
Let’s push some VOLUME
A young hustler knows when and how to get it. You’re more than likely to
get a customer on the block at 3 am than at noon. More volume means more
customers. It can also be more dangerous, so use caution.

In forex you have to


find what works for
you. There are 3
main sessions to
choose from: Asian
session, London
session and North
American. (Look in
your local time
zone) Each one is like a different neighborhood. Remember, we only go
where we know it’s safe. More volume will move faster, so if you’re a
beginner you should trade at slower times. Around session opens and
session crosses is where you see the most movement and volume. The
st
session or time you decide to trade should be one of 1 things you decide on
your trading plan, along with a currency pair.

Don’t be caught LACKIN’


The worst thing about the dope game is being caught slippin. It only takes
one time to learn that lesson. Just like 1 bullet can take you out of the game,
some news and a terribly executed trade can bleed your account. When I was
in the game, I never had the chickens in the same car as the skrilla.

These streets are dangerous, and so is Wall St. Just like we had to dodge
haters and cops, we have to dodge the institutions moving the prices
erratically. Basically, the institutions are the OPPS.

In forex we call this risk management. That’s your SL, or stop/loss. Any
business man knows that protecting your gains while minimizing your losses
is the name of any game. That’s why starting with a smaller distribution or
trading account is the best way to learn, practice and find your trading style
and rhythm.
UPS and DOWNS of the GAME

The above chart is a sample of some Dope Game market structure.


Remember, no one retires from the game that often, you’re either gonna be
judged by 12 or carried by 6. That’s the great thing about trading forex
though, your life and freedom aren’t in jeopardy. It’s quite the opposite.

There is good news, it doesn’t matter if the trend of a currency is up or


down, if you execute your trade correctly you will give yourself a chance to
make PIPS. When you BUY a currency that means you’re long on the
position and when you SELL a currency that means you’re shorting it. This
up and down movement is called PRICE ACTION. Price action forms
MARKET STRUCTURE and market structure is the patterns that you see on
your charts with the candlesticks.
KILLER MENTALITY

In the hood, the bigger you become stacking your chips, the more stress and
exposure you have to getting robbed or worse. It’s hard to constantly keep
looking over your shoulder for the feds or someone plotting your next move.
There will always be someone to take your place. It can make a man
paranoid, and when you’re not right in the head, you can make big mistakes.
The same rules apply to trading.

It doesn’t matter what we do in our lives to make a living, there is always


going to be stress and hard times. How do you perform under stress? How you
react and deal with your wins and losses will reflect upon your trading. You’re
only as good as your current trade. You’re going to take losses, but it’s about
limiting your mistakes and learning how to manage your losses. You can’t win
10 trades in a row, then lose the next trade and let it affect you. The same
scenarios happen over and over, so find what works for you; exploit it and
take advantage of it. Trading is a repetitive game, but 90% of trading is
managing the thoughts in between your ears, so have a clear mind and learn
from your L’s.

ISSA solo MISSION

As my good friend “Harvard” Hollis Barnhart told me, “The hardest part of
the journey is the first step.”

I wrote this lightheartedly, as an introduction for beginners. You will need


much more than a book or a PDF, you’ll need experience. No one else can
do this for you. Here are some topics for you to google and look into
yourself.

Here are some important FOREX topics to learn:

PRICE ACTION

MARKET STRUCTURE

THE POWER OF THE COMPOUND

SUPPORT/RESISTANCE

WICK FILLS

TIME FRAMES

RISK/REWARD

MARGIN

LEVERAGE

MT4/MT5 (Trading platform)

FOREX BROKER

ISSA TRADING PLAN


PAIR:
USD/JPY-XAU/USD
TRADE SESSION:
London/New York cross. 6/7am-11am EST
Occasionally Asian session
MARKET PREPARATION:
Allow myself an hour to focus on charts before I enter any trades.
Assess the pre-markets and the news schedule for the day/week.
Map out and recognize my higher timeframe zones and possibilities for
direction.

SIDE NOTE: If you do trade outside of your plan limit your expectations
and your losses

FINAL THOUGHTS
There’s a saying that goes, “Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re
right”.

Trading forex isn’t going to be for everyone, but for the people I see in my
chat and on the Gram that are improving daily, we all share a lot of the same
traits. We are problem solvers and we are perfectionists, but there isn’t a
perfected science to trading. You will go through breakthroughs and also
setbacks, but you’ll progress. There are many factors that go into one trade,
so there is a lot to learn. Everyone’s path will be different, but the goal will
remain the same.

Everyone learns differently, so what worked for me may not work for you.
Most of you guys reading this are half my age, so you might be able to run a
faster mile, but nothing compares to life experience. Some of you I see are
exceptional traders, but I see impatience and no discipline. That novelty will
wear off when you get tired of losing.

One of the things that helped me was that I learned one thing at a time. After
perusing babypips.com and combing through a few books, I started moving
into the more difficult and technical areas of forex. First, I got really good at
spotting and locating SUPPORT and RESISTANCE, then I stared at charts
and candlestick patterns in different timeframes and dates. You have to be
able to train your eyes. The same things happen over and over. The biggest
thing is patience. THE BIGGEST THING IS PATIENCE!

Everyone will have their own “AHA” moment and learning curve, so don’t
compare yourself to others on social media. Do you. Embrace the struggle
and the process.

GRATITUDE AND LOVE

hard, but we remained solid.
