I’ve this printed out on my desk. Helps keep in check emotions.

🔒 Risk Management
• Risk only 1–2% of your capital per trade.
• Always use a stop-loss.
• Never add to a losing trade (no revenge trading).
• Don’t over-leverage — keep margin reasonable.
• Preserve capital > chase gains.

⸻

📊 Trade Setup
• Plan your trade, then trade your plan.
• Only enter on confirmed signals (not gut feeling).
• Use high-probability setups (e.g., support/resistance, breakouts, patterns).
• Trade with the trend, unless strong reversal setup.

⸻

🧠 Mindset & Discipline
• Stay emotionless — no FOMO or panic.
• Accept losses as part of the game.
• Don’t overtrade. Quality > quantity.
• Stick to a routine — don’t trade when distracted or emotional.

⸻

📈 Execution
• Wait for candle close confirmation, not just wicks.
• Set entry, stop-loss, and targets before entering.
• Journal every trade: entry, exit, reason, result.

⸻

🧰 Review & Adapt
• Review performance weekly/monthly.
• Focus on improving process, not just profits.
• Keep evolving — what works in one market may not in another. #TradingTypes101
