🔍 WHAT KIND OF TRADER ARE YOU REALLY?

Before you hit “Buy” or “Sell,” ask yourself these 5 crucial questions — your portfolio will thank you. 📉📈

1️⃣ Why Am I Entering This Trade?

🎯 Your reason must be clear and technical — not emotional.

✅ Valid Setups:

• RSI below 30 (oversold) + MACD bullish crossover + price above 200MA

• Strong support bounce with volume spike

• Breakout above resistance with confirmation candle

❌ Bad Reasons:

• “It feels like it’ll pump”

• “Twitter told me”

• “I’m bored”

🔥 Trading is not gambling — it’s strategy.

2️⃣ Where’s My Stop Loss?

🛑 Risk first — always.

• Long? Stop below support.

• Short? Stop above resistance.

🎯 Never risk more than 1–2% of your account.

Example: Buying at $100, support at $95 → Stop loss = $95 (5% risk)

3️⃣ What’s My Profit Target?

💰 Don’t just hope for gains — plan them.

• Use a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio

• Target resistance (on longs) or support (on shorts)

• Use trailing stops if momentum continues

4️⃣ What’s the Market Condition?

📊 Market context is everything.

• Trending? Trade with the trend (buy dips, sell rallies)

• Ranging? Buy low, sell high — no breakout chasing

• Volatile? Widen stops and reduce position size

5️⃣ Am I Following My Plan?

📓 Discipline is your real edge.

• Stop hit? Accept it. No revenge trades.

• Target hit? Take profit. Don’t get greedy.

• Journal every trade: Learn what worked — and what didn’t.

✅ Final Rule: Patience Pays

The best traders wait for their setup — not just any setup.

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” — Warren Buffett (yes, even in crypto)
