10 Painful Trading Lessons I Wish I Knew Earlier (Save Yourself Years!)

Here are 10 trading lessons I learned after years of pain:

1.Never add to a losing position.

3.Winning feels good. Surviving feels better.

4.The market doesn’t care about your feelings.

5.Always use stop-loss. Hope is not a strategy.

6.The best trades often feel the scariest at the entry.

7.Your ego is your biggest enemy.

8.The more you trade, the more you lose — be selective.

9.Chasing pumps = guaranteed financial pain.
