1. Markets move in predictable cycles.
Every asset follows a familiar path:
Accumulation → Pullback → Expansion → Euphoria → Collapse
If you can’t recognize where you are in the cycle — you’re already behind.
---
2. Trading is a game of probabilities.
You don’t need to win every trade.
What matters is risk management and consistency.
Your edge only reveals itself over time.
Capital preservation > predicting the future.
---
3. The house always wins.
Over 90% of retail traders lose annually.
And even among the winners, few stay profitable for long.
You’re up against algorithms, institutions, and insiders — respect the game.
---
4. Simulators can’t teach you pain.
Paper trading helps you learn the basics,
but real money triggers real emotion.
You haven’t truly learned until you’ve felt the sting of a red candle in your live account.
---
5. Emotions kill more trades than bad setups.
Greed, fear, revenge, and hope — silent assassins.
Even a great system fails when you panic, hesitate, or overtrade.
---
6. Bigger size doesn’t mean bigger wins.
The larger your position, the harder it is to handle volatility.
Position size should match your emotional discipline, not your ego.
---
7. A 1:1 risk-reward is just gambling.
If your stop equals your target, you need a 60%+ win rate just to break even.
Why play that game?
Always aim for asymmetric returns.
---
8. Going all-in isn’t bold — it’s reckless.
Every all-in is a coin flip with your entire portfolio.
Risk small, survive longer.
Capital preservation is your greatest edge.
---
9. Every quality trade rests on 3 pillars:
• Trend – Follow where the money flows
• Liquidity – Ensure smooth entries and exits
• Timing – Enter early, not late
Miss one, and your edge is gone.

Final Thoughts:
I lost $250,000 — that was my tuition.
You don’t need to pay the same price.
Stay humble.
Manage risk.
Think long-term.
