Develop a clear plan with entry and exit rules, including stop-loss and minimum risk/reward ratio, applying technical analysis (moving averages, MACD, RSI) and confirming with volume or correlations.
I perform backtesting and forward testing to validate and refine my strategy.
I use risk management, limiting each trade to 1-2% of capital and diversifying the market.
I maintain emotional discipline, avoiding overtrading, revenge, or influences from fear/greed.
I keep a trading journal that includes results and emotions, and I review it regularly.
A lot of concentration and discipline; I take my time to trade.
