If you, like me, decided to enter trading — read carefully
Hello! I'm not a trading guru and I haven’t brought millions here, but I decided to figure out: how do these candles, levels, and eternal “it will definitely rise now” work. Here’s how I started — maybe it will help someone who is also just entering the market.
1. The market is neither a lottery nor a casino
If you think “I’ll buy, maybe I’ll get lucky” — that’s not trading, that’s guessing. And guessing quickly turns into “where's my money?”
I realized: the market will be here tomorrow. But the deposit — that's not a fact.
2. The first thing I learn — candles. They really talk!
No, they don’t whisper in your ear, but
The hammer shows: “the bulls bought the dip”
Engulfing — someone’s victory
Doji — the market itself didn't understand what it wants
When you start to see in candles not sticks, but people's behavior — trading stops being magic.
3. Stop-loss is not an enemy, but a bodyguard
I used to think: “Why set a stop? It will bounce back now!” Now: it's better to exit at the stop than to pray in front of the chart.
Stop-loss does not show your weakness
It shows that you are a mature trader, not a hopeful romantic
4. The main rules that I've derived for myself:
Don't get into a trade if you don’t understand why
Don't believe “just because it fell/rose”
Don’t put everything on one candle — it's a candle, not a god
And the main thing — exit the trade if it's not going your way
5. I hold no illusions
I realized:
There will be no golden mountains
There are no 100% signals
But you can learn to trade in a way that you don’t lose, but grow — step by step
And now I am:
I’m learning to see levels
I train my reaction to signals
I know in advance where I will enter, where I will exit, and how much I am willing to lose
Well, of course — I set a stop
If you are also just starting — write. If you are a pro — tell me how you stopped fearing the “sell” button. If you’re just reading — good luck with your trades and strong stops
