5 rules that professionals keep silent about
1. Rule 90%: why you are losing money
❌ Most common mistake:
- Trading without a plan
- Greed (not taking profits)
- Panic (selling at the bottom)
✅ Solution:
- Risk only 1-2% of your deposit per trade
- Always set a stop-loss (at least 1:3 risk/reward)
2. How to read charts without indicators
📉 Simple method:
1. Identify support/resistance levels
2. Monitor trading volumes (peaks = reversals)
3. Trade only in the trend (do not catch falling knives)
Example:
- If the price bounces off a level 3 times + high volume = strong signal
3. Trading psychology: emotion control
🧠 What to do:
- Before the trade, ask: "Am I being greedy or afraid right now?"
- Keep a trading journal (analyze mistakes)
- Take breaks after 2 losing trades
4. When NOT to trade
🚫 Situations:
- Major news (FOMC, CPI)
- Your emotional instability
- Low market liquidity (night, holidays)
5. How to properly take profits
