1️⃣ Trade With a Plan, Not Emotion
Before you enter a trade, decide:
Entry price
Take profit
Stop loss
This is how pros avoid panic.
---
2️⃣ Follow the Trend, Don’t Fight It
If the market is going UP → look for longs.
If the market is going DOWN → look for shorts.
Trading against the trend = losing fast.
---
3️⃣ Use Risk:Reward (RR)
A smart trader targets at least 1:2.
Example:
Risk $5 → aim to earn $10.
This makes your trading profitable even with small wins.
---
4️⃣ Wait for Pullbacks
Never enter at the top.
Pros wait for:
Small dip
Support bounce
Retest of the breakout
This gives the safest entry.
---
5️⃣ Always Set Stop Loss
Professional traders ALWAYS use SL.
It protects your capital so one bad trade doesn’t kill your account.
---
6️⃣ Don’t Go All-In — Use Position Sizing
Put only a small % in each trade.
Pros use 1–5% of account per trade.
This avoids big losses.
---
7️⃣ Don’t Trade During High Volatility News
Before NFP, CPI, FOMC, interest rates → market becomes crazy.
Wait 5–10 minutes after big news.
---
8️⃣ Use Higher Timeframes for Direction
Check:
4H
1H
15m
Big timeframes show the real trend.
Small timeframes trick beginners.
---
9️⃣ Manage Leverage Like a Pro
If you use leverage:
Beginners: 2x–5x max
Pros: low leverage, high accuracy
High leverage = liquidation fast.
---
🔟 Focus on One Strategy, Not 10
Pick ONE:
Breakout strategy
Pullback strategy
RSI + MA strategy
Practice it until you become consistent.
Switching strategies kills progress.
