"Every time I trade, I lose... The first trade I made was a win, and then I just started losing!"
Do you feel like this is about you?
The first trade you made was a win, and you felt like you understood the market. But then the losses started piling up, one after the other, as if the market was against you.
This is the beginning for most traders.
What happened to you is called beginner's luck. The market gave you a break at the start, but not because you're a pro... because you were lucky.
Just keep in mind: luck doesn't last, skill is what keeps you going and winning.
How do you turn losses into profits?
Stop playing, and start learning: understand the market structure, how to manage your risks, and what confirmation signals mean.
Patience is more important than haste: strong opportunities don't come every minute. Wait for the trade that's worth it.
Stick to your plan: don't let emotions control you. Follow your strategy and stay steady.
Record your mistakes and learn from them: every loss has a lesson. Review your trades and evolve.
An important example: Bull Trap
The price breaks above resistance, many people buy hoping the market will go up... and suddenly the price reverses and drops, leaving buyers in a tough spot.
Why does this happen? Because they entered without confirmation.
The solution? Wait for confirmation of the movement, watch the volume, and don't enter the trade just because you're excited.
