If you’re serious about growing as a trader, whether you’re just starting or already in the game, these are the non-negotiable rules you NEED to follow. They’re simple, powerful, and built to save you from dumb mistakes.
🔹 1. Trade With the Trend, Not Against It
Bullish market? Look for buys.
Bearish vibes? Look for sells.
Go against the flow = pain.
Ride the wave = gains.
🔹 2. Stop Loss = Lifesaver
No SL? You’re gambling, not trading.
Only risk 1–2% per trade. Protect your capital like your life depends on it.
🔹 3. Chill — Don’t Chase Every Candle
No setup? No trade.
Quality > Quantity.
One sniper entry beats 10 random shots.
🔹 4. Emotions? Leave Them at the Door
Greed, fear, revenge — all L-generators.
Follow the PLAN, not your mood.
🔹 5. Learn First, Risk Later
Backtest every new strategy before going live.
No testing = no trust.
🔹 6. Journal Every Trade
Entry. Exit. Reason. Result.
Review weekly. That’s how you get better, fast.
🔹 7. Only Trade What You Can Lose
Rent money ≠ trade money.
Keep it stress-free, always.
🔹 8. Don’t Copy-Paste Signals Blindly
Understand WHY before you follow.
Even pros take Ls — know the reasoning.
🔹 9. Stay Informed
News = volatility.
Always check the headlines before jumping in.
🔥 Daily Habits to Build Discipline:
◾ Check trend on higher timeframes (1H/4H/Daily)
◾ Mark key zones
◾ Plan the trade: Entry | SL | Target
◾ Set risk %
◾ NO FOMO. NO PANIC. Stay cool.
Quick Reminder:
The market rewards the patient, not the hyperactive.
Don’t just trade. Trade SMART. 💡
