Why drawing lines on a chart won't make you a profitable trader
Many beginner traders think that once they learn to draw support and resistance lines, profits will flow in automatically.
But the truth is that marking levels is the simplest part. Anyone can sketch trend lines and patterns in a couple of minutes.
True mastery is in what you do with this analysis.
What is really important in trading?
1. Entry point
Even if you see an 'ideal' level, it doesn't mean the price will bounce. And if it does bounce - will it be a strong bounce or a false breakout?
2. Proper exit
- Where to take profits?
- When to close a losing trade?
- How to distinguish a correction from a reversal?
3. Risk management
- How much are you willing to lose in a single trade?
- What is the optimal position size?
- How to avoid emotional decisions?
Most traders lose their deposit not because of poor analysis, but due to a lack of discipline.
What distinguishes a successful trader?
✅ He doesn't just draw lines - he knows when to use them.
✅ He has a clear plan before entering a trade.
✅ He controls risks, not relying on 'luck'.
Technical analysis is a tool. But your success depends on how you use it.
Trading is not about charts. It's about making decisions.
