#HODLTradingStrategy Here’s a version of a trading journey starting not from the beginning, but from the working or active stage — after the learning phase has passed:

After months of studying charts, backtesting strategies, and watching countless hours of trading tutorials, I finally stepped into the real market with discipline and structure. This was no longer the beginner phase — I had a clear strategy, a set risk-reward ratio, and a strict trading journal.

Each morning started with market analysis. I reviewed key levels, checked economic calendars, and planned my trades. I no longer jumped into trades emotionally. I waited for confirmation — price action near support/resistance, candlestick patterns, and volume alignment.

My biggest challenge at this stage wasn’t the market — it was me. Emotional control was everything. I faced losing streaks, overconfidence after big wins, and moments of doubt. But I stuck to my rules, refining them with every experience.

I started seeing consistency — not daily profits, but overall steady growth. I respected my stop losses, took profits patiently, and avoided revenge trading.

Trading had now become a serious routine, not a gamble. I tracked my performance weekly and adjusted based on results. The goal was no longer to get rich quick — it was to master the process.

This is the real work of trading — staying disciplined, sharp, and emotionally stable every single day.
