Quit trying to trade every level on your chart.
Instead, pick a spot to trade where you’ll lose small when wrong—and the market can reward you when right.
The result?
Less trading, less commissions, less mistakes, and a fatter bottom line.

[Follow your trading plan regardless of each trade’s outcome]
When I was a 7-year-old, my teacher would give me a “star sticker” whenever I put in the effort to do my homework, regardless of whether the answer is right or wrong.
In other words, she rewards effort, not the outcome.
If you think about it, this approach is highly suitable for trading.
You should reward yourself whenever you follow your trading plan regardless of whether the trade is a winning or a loser.
So here’s how the star system works…
—Every time you follow your plan, you get 1 star
—Every time you didn’t follow your plan, you get -2 stars
—The goal of the star system is to accumulate 100 stars
As you can see, the focus isn’t to make profits.
Rather, it’s to accumulate as many stars as possible by being consistent with your actions.
Remember, a consistent set of actions lead to a consistent set of results.

Winning rate alone is meaningless.
You can have a 90% winning rate with an average gain of $100.
But if your average loss is $1,000, you still lose in the long run.
Solution? Look at both your winning rate and risk-to-reward ratio.
You can't look at one without the other.

[Always be a student of the markets]
Here’s my learning curve as a trader:
I started with indicators, then price action trading.
And for a few years, I thought that’s all I needed because after all, the price is king and that’s all I needed to be a profitable trader.
But that hurts my growth because I tuned out everything else (and limited myself only to price action trading).
When I realized my folly, I quickly went back to being a student of the markets.
So I asked myself:
“What are other winning traders doing to profit from the markets?”
That’s when I got exposed to trend following, systems trading, mean reversion trading, etc.
By expanding my knowledge and incorporating different strategies, I was able to find more trading opportunities (most traders are blinded to).
So here's the deal...
You may (or may not) be a profitable trader but, it doesn’t mean your learning curve is over because you’re always a student of the market.
I encourage you to keep learning and exploring new strategies. Don't limit yourself to just one approach, because there's always more to discover.
Ultimately, the key is to remain open-minded and willing to try new things. It can be scary to step outside your comfort zone, but it's often the only way to achieve true growth and success.

[Pay attention to how long it took a chart pattern to be formed]
Here’s the deal:
The more time the market spends forming a reversal chart pattern, the more significant it is.
For example, if you compare a head and shoulders pattern that takes 30 candles to form against another that takes 100 candles to form.
Which is more significant?
Of course, it’s the one with a longer duration.
Why?
Two reasons.
#1: It’s more obvious and attracts attention from more traders.
#2: More resting orders are placed around the neckline of the head and shoulder patterns (from bullish traders who expect support to hold or, short traders looking to sell the breakdown).
Whatever the case is, the longer it takes for reversal patterns to form, the more significant it is.

[Keep an eye on volatility to manage your trades better]
Here’s the thing:
The market moves in volatility cycles—from a low period of volatility to high volatility, and vice versa.
This means if the market is in a low volatility environment, it’s a sign the market is about to make a big move (and you want to be prepared for it).
Here’s an example…
Let’s say you went long on the 4-hour timeframe and the market quickly moves in your favour.
Also, you noticed the daily timeframe has formed a buildup, a low volatility price pattern which looks like a “squeeze”.
So, what do you do?
Hold your trade with the hopes that if volatility expands, it does so in your favour
Exit your trade at the nearest swing high as the market might reverse against you
I don’t know
For me, I’d hold my trade because there’s a huge profit potential if volatility expands in my favour.

Trading is not for snowflakes.
The market is rigged against you. Your emotions sabotage you. The prize is only for a few.
Only those with a high pain tolerance should play this game.

[To be a winning trader, you’ll need this one thing…]
Here’s a clue:
—It’s not technical analysis
—It’s not price action trading
—It’s not trading psychology
It’s this…
Your trading strategy must have an edge in the markets.
You’re probably wondering:
“What does this mean?”
Well, here’s an example:
Let’s say I make a coin-toss bet with you.
—Every time the coin comes up heads, you win $2.
—Every time the coin comes up tails, I lose $1.
In the long-run, who will win?
You, of course!
Why?
Because you have an edge over me.
And this is the same for trading!
You must have an edge in the markets because without it, nothing else matters.
You’re thinking:
“But how do I find an edge in the markets?”
The easiest way is to leverage the work of other traders, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
So, go and read trading books that contain trading systems with backtested results.
(Based on my experience, these trading systems have a good chance of working in the live markets.)
Then, take the concepts of these trading systems and validate them on your own so you know whether it works, or not.
