5 things I wish someone told me before I started trading
1. You will spend too much time looking for a strategy when you should be learning how to execute one.
2. Risk management is not boring. Itβs the reason youβll still be around long enough to become profitable.
3. You donβt need to win every trade. You just need to stop messing up the trades youβre supposed to take.
4. Most of your biggest losses wonβt come from your strategy.
Theyβll come from you breaking your own rules.
5. Trading gets a lot easier when you stop feeling like you MUST make money today.
Some days, the best trade is no trade.
I wish I understood this much earlier.
