If you want to grow in trading and avoid silly mistakes, follow these simple but powerful rules. These rules are made to help beginners stay safe and help experienced traders stay smart.

1. Go With the Market, Not Against It

Always check the market direction before trading.

If the market is going up (bullish), focus on buying.

If the market is going down (bearish), look for sell chances.

Wrong direction = Loss. Right direction = Profit.

2. Use Stop Loss Every Time

Never enter a trade without a stop loss.

Markets can move fast — one mistake can empty your account.

Only risk 1–2% of your money on each trade.

3. Don’t Chase Every Move

You don’t have to trade all the time.

Wait for strong setups with clear entry and exit points.

One good trade is better than ten random trades.

4. Don’t Trade With Emotions

Fear, greed, and stress are your biggest enemies.

Always follow your plan, not your feelings.

A calm trader is a winning trader.

5. Learn Before You Risk

Before trying any new strategy, test it first.

Check how it worked in the past — that’s called backtesting.

Never risk real money on something you don’t fully understand.

6. Keep a Trade Journal

Write down all your trades — entry, exit, reason, and result.

Review your journal weekly. It helps you learn faster and spot your mistakes.

7. Risk What You Can Afford to Lose

Only trade with extra money — not rent, bills, or borrowed funds.

This will keep you stress-free and more focused.

8. Don’t Copy Others Blindly

Learn from others, but don’t follow trades without understanding why.

Even the best trader is not right every time.

9. Stay Updated With Market News

Big news can move prices fast.

Always check the news before entering trades, especially around major updates.

DAILY HABITS TO FOLLOW

Check the trend on larger timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily)

Mark support and resistance zones

Make a full plan before entering (entry, SL, targets)

Set risk per trade

Stay relaxed — no FOMO, no panic

QUICK REMINDER FOR ALL TRADERS

The market pays the patient, not the busy. Don’t rush — trade with reason.
