Trading is like ocean waves — sometimes calm, sometimes fierce.
They can lift you up or pull you down.
Respect the wave, protect your capital, and be patient — the tide will reward you.
1️⃣ Spot the tide, not just the splash
• Use multi-timeframe analysis:
- Daily charts for direction,
- 4H for precision,
- 1H for timing.
• Watch net volume — if it dries up, the wave has no force.
2️⃣ Enter with the current, not against it
• Wait for pullbacks to key support zones in an uptrend, or rejections at resistance in a downtrend.
• Let the market come to you, don’t chase every foam splash.
3️⃣ Protect your surfboard (capital)
• Hard stop losses, no excuses.
• Risk only 1-2% of your capital per trade — your oxygen tank in case of a wipeout.
• Use ATR (Average True Range) to set logical stops based on real volatility.
4️⃣ Ride the wave — but know when to bail
• Trailing stops lock in profits as the wave rises.
• Partial exits: scale out as price hits zones.
• Never overstay — trends reverse. Even the tallest wave crashes.
5️⃣ Ignore the crowd’s noise
• News and tweets are like gulls squawking above the sea.
• Stay focused on price action + volume — the real language of waves.
6️⃣ Patience is your paddle
• Legendary traders make their money waiting, not forcing trades.
• No setup? No trade. The ocean isn’t going anywhere.
Start with these 3 pillars — pros rely on them 90% of the time.
