Every trader learns these late. Learn them early instead:
-
Always risk a fixed % — never dollars.
-
Never add to losing trades.
-
If the structure is unclear, stay out.
-
Only trade when the trend is obvious.
-
Don’t chase impulsive candles.
-
Wait for candle closes, not wicks.
-
Have a daily loss limit.
-
Take screenshots of every trade.
-
Keep your charts clean.
-
One strategy done well beats five done poorly.
