It is 2025, a new trading year, and the best way to make it a success is to start planning and preparing now. That puts you in a much better place by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

The first big event is Trump’s inauguration on the 20th of January, about 18 days away. From there the market takes on a completely different rhythm, so it pays to be ready.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Key takeaways<\/h3>\n

\n
Prepare for a new rhythm<\/div>\n

A Trump presidency brings more volatility, more tweets and announcements, and markets that move differently than they do now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Reduce your risk early<\/div>\n

Cut risk for a week or two to adjust to the new conditions before getting back to normal size.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Consider stepping back<\/div>\n

Staying away from trading for a week or two, then analyzing the markets, can be a smarter move than pushing through.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Leverage AI tools<\/div>\n

Tools like ChatGPT are an extra edge for understanding news impact and getting a quick read on how it hits what you trade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Send your journal for feedback<\/div>\n

If you are journaling, you have data, and you can send that data to ChatGPT for feedback on your trading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Adjust to the new market conditions<\/h3>\n
\n

When Trump is president there is always a lot of volatility. Trade wars with China, conflicts with the Federal Reserve over interest rates, and constant announcements all move the markets in a big way.<\/p>\n

Aside from the volatility, the rhythm changes too. The markets are not going to move the same way or in the same direction, so trading with the same risk gets difficult.<\/p>\n

In practice, the safest move is to reduce risk and adjust for a week or two. Better still, stay out for a week or two, analyze the markets, and understand the movement before you jump back in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“It’s best to reduce risk to adjust to the conditions before getting back to trading as normal.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Add AI tools to your trading plan<\/h3>\n
\n

A lot of traders are already using AI tools, and that is an extra edge. To keep up and improve, it is worth starting to use them yourself.<\/p>\n

Specifically, when news is released about the world, US, or UK economy, you can ask a tool like ChatGPT to explain the impact on what you trade, for example how it might hit GBPUSD. It can also make a long article far more concise and save you time.<\/p>\n

For something more advanced, send your trading journal data to ChatGPT and ask for feedback. If you are journaling, that data is already there and easy to use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The trends shaping the year<\/h3>\n
\n

General market trends from now show stocks and cryptocurrencies trending upwards, and that may continue. That is worth noting so you actually take advantage of the opportunities.<\/p>\n

Trump’s campaign promises, if implemented, will boost the dollar. Energy production increases and tariffs would make it much stronger, though it depends on how quickly he moves.<\/p>\n

Overall, the BRICS plan for a new currency to compete with the dollar looks likely to be delayed, with the US focused on regaining dominance as the world’s reserve currency. Expect the dollar to gain strength against other currencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
