#MyTradindOprations
trading operations are the systematic processes you follow to execute, manage, and review trades.
Here’s a breakdown:
Key Components:
1. Strategy & Planning
Define rules: *entry/exit signals* (e.g., technical indicators, news events),
*asset types* (stocks, forex, crypto), and *timeframes* (scalping, swing trading).
Backtest strategies using historical data.
2. Risk Management
Position Sizing:
Risk only 1-3% of capital per trade.
Stop-Loss (SL):
Automatically exit losing trades (e.g., set SL at 2% below entry).
Take-Profit (TP):
Lock in gains at predefined levels.
3. Execution
- Enter trades based on your strategy (e.g., "Buy if AAPL breaks $200 with high volume").
- Use limit/market orders efficiently.
4. Monitoring & Adjustment
- Track open positions: adjust SL/TP if strategy allows (e.g., trailing stops).
- Avoid emotional decisions—stick to your plan.
5. Review & Optimization
- Journal Every Trade: Log entry/exit prices, reasons, emotions, and outcomes.
- Analyze weekly: *Win rate*, *risk-reward ratio* (aim for 1:2+), and mistakes.
- Refine rules based on data (e.g., "Reduce size in volatile markets").
Why It Matters:
Without disciplined operations, trading is gambling.
Consistency
turns randomness into repeatable results.
Protection
against catastrophic losses.
Growth
through continuous learning.
Tools to Use:
- Platforms: TradingView, Thinkorswim, MetaTrader
- Journals: TraderSync, Excel/Google Sheets.
Pro Tip:
Start small → Track rigorously → Scale slowly.
Trade with purpose—not impulse.
