Top 10 secrets you must know
1. Protect Your Capital First
The #1 rule isn’t to make money — it’s to avoid losing it all.
Never risk more than 1–2% of your account on a single trade.
Think like a survivor: If you still have capital, you can recover from losses.
2. The Market Doesn’t Care About You
The market isn’t “against” you — it just moves.
Price moves on supply and demand, news, and sentiment, not on your needs or feelings.
3. Your Emotions Are Your Biggest Enemy
Fear makes you exit too early.
Greed makes you hold too long.
Overconfidence makes you ignore risk management.
Learn to follow a plan, not your impulses.
4. Small Wins Compound
You don’t need to double your money overnight.
Consistent small gains add up faster than chasing “home runs” and blowing accounts.
5. Avoid Overtrading
Trading too often leads to bad entries and high fees.
Sometimes, the best trade is no trade at all.
6. A Strategy Is Useless Without Discipline
A winning strategy can still lose money if you don’t follow it.
Discipline means sticking to entry/exit rules even when it feels uncomfortable.
7. Risk–Reward Is King
Only take trades where your potential reward is at least 2× your potential loss.
This way, even if you win only 40% of the time, you can still be profitable.
8. News Moves Markets — But the Reaction Matters More
Big announcements (interest rates, inflation data, earnings) cause volatility.
Sometimes price goes the opposite way from what logic suggests, because the market already “priced it in.”
9. Patience Pays More Than Predictions
You don’t need to predict every move — you need to react correctly when your setup appears.
Sitting on your hands is a skill.
10. The Biggest Edge Is Longevity
Most traders quit within a year because they blow up their account.
If you can stay in the game, learn, and adapt — the odds shift in your favor.
