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

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.

A 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 successful 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 Trading Journal

Note all your trades — entry, exit, reason, and result.

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

7. Risk What You Can Afford to Lose

Trade only with extra money — not with rent, bills, or borrowed funds.

This will keep you stress-free and more focused.

8. Don't Blindly Copy Others

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

Even the best trader is not right all the time.

9. Stay Updated With Market News

Big news can move prices quickly.

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

DAILY HABITS TO FOLLOW

Check the trend in larger time frames (1H, 4H, Daily)

Mark support and resistance zones

Make a complete plan before entering (entry, SL, objectives)

Set risk per trade

Stay relaxed — no FOMO, no panic

QUICK REMINDER FOR ALL TRADERS

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