Basic Facts About Trading

1. Trading ≠ Investing

Trading is short-term buying/selling for profit. Investing is long-term holding for growth.

2. Prices Move on Supply & Demand

News, hype, and market sentiment affect how people buy/sell, which changes prices.

3. You Don’t Have to Win Every Trade

Even pro traders lose trades. What matters is winning more than you lose (or managing risk well).

4. Risk Management is Key

Never trade more than you can afford to lose. Use stop-loss and take-profit orders to control risk.

5. Emotions Can Kill Your Trades

Fear and greed ruin plans. Always trade with a clear strategy—not feelings.
