You may be a genius at analysis, know all the intricacies of Smart Money, set clear stops, and manage risks wisely...
But if you don't have a financial cushion — you are trading not with a strategy, but with fear.
Why is this critical?
👉 When there is no cash reserve, trading turns into a way to 'earn at all costs'.
👉 You start to force trades, ignore risk management, shorten analysis, look for 'signals' rather than confirmations.
👉 And the market is merciless to those who enter it with needs.
💼 What is a financial cushion?
This is a reserve that covers your mandatory expenses for 3–6 months ahead.
It includes:
⚫️rent or mortgage
⚫️food and transport
⚫️credits
⚫️connection and internet
⚫️medicine and family
💡 This is not an investment. This is your safety zone. Money from the cushion does not go into trading, even if 'everything looks good' on the chart.
🧠 What does a cushion give a trader?
✅Calmness — fewer emotions in trades
✅ Freedom — you can stop if a drawdown occurs
✅ Control — you are not dependent on the outcome of each trade
✅ Energy — background stress from lack of money disappears
📌 Conclusion:
A financial cushion is not just a 'reserve'.
This is the foundation without which you are building a house on sand.
Want stability in trading — start with safety off the chart.
