🎲 Trading is not certainty, it is probability
One of the most important lessons you must learn as a trader is that you never know exactly what is going to happen. The market does not operate on absolute truths, but on probabilistic scenarios 📊.
🔹 The mistake of thinking in black and white
Many say
❌ “I’m sure the price is going to rise.”
❌ “This is not going to happen.”
That language is a problem because it creates rigid expectations. And when the market does the opposite (which it will), your psychology breaks.
🔹 The right approach
A professional trader speaks in terms of probabilities:
👉 “There is a 30% chance that this scenario will occur.”
👉 “There is a 40% chance that this movement will happen.”
This changes your mindset because you understand that every decision has an expected value and a standard deviation 📐. That is, you never control the immediate outcome, but you can control how you manage risk and reward.
🔹 How to apply it in your trading
✔️ Define scenarios: bullish, bearish, or sideways.
✔️ Assign probabilities based on your technical or fundamental analysis.
✔️ Adjust your position to the risk: take more risk in scenarios with high probability and less in those that are only possible.
✔️ Accept that even a 70% probability can fail, and that is normal.
✨ Final reflection
The market is not about being right ✅ or wrong ❌, but about trading with probabilities in your favor. When you change your mindset from “certainty” to “probability”, you go from being an emotional bettor to a disciplined trader 🚀.
