Simple habits I’ve found to have a high ROI in trading:

I isolated myself from everyone when I was starting out my trading journey years ago. Now, every time I have the opportunity to get in touch with these people again I realize that regret is real. They're not happy in their jobs and they have no idea how to change their situation.

It's about finding your strengths and weaknesses, developing a style that fits them, and aiming for steady progress over time.

In the beginning, 90% of your efforts give you 10% of the results.
Then, 10% of your efforts give you 90% of the results.

If you want to behave like a professional trader,
Stop:

One of the most important skills I've developed as a trader that help me in life is the ability to remain calm in critical situations.

The journey of trading:
Novice: "What's the right strategy?"
Intermediate: "How do I win big?"
Advanced: "How can I cut losses short and then maximize gains?"
Master: "How do I preserve my Mental Capital while sustaining results?"

Best decision I made so far:
Adjusting trading to my life, not the reverse.
- Short sessions of 2-3h
- 1 setup (highest quality & confidence)
- 2-3 trades/day
- Prioritize mental capital
Quit chaser mentality.

3 things I wish I knew when I started my trading journey:
1. Trading is a performance skill, practice isn’t enough
2. There’s no right or wrong way to analyze a chart
3. The real journey starts once you settle with one strategy
11

90% of your trading problems can be avoided by following your system.
16

Never start a trading session without setting reactions to all the possible scenarios the market might offer.

Your transformation in trading begins when you attach more pain to poor performance than to losing money.

The whole work is behind the scenes:
• Journaling
• Backtesting
• Changing habits
• Raising awareness
• Mastering yourself

How to set a trading routine?

Some traders associate so much pain with loss that the goal becomes to avoid loss instead of catching the best opportunities.
These traders have a hard time letting winners run.
20

488
In trading, you should have 3 types of goals:
• Performance goals
• Psychology goals
• Habit development goals
Never money-related.
Set your goals right and you’ll be ahead of 95% of the traders out there.
8
89
472
Traders focus too much on making money, but the most successful traders understand that money is a byproduct of groundwork, preparation, and routine.
Focus on that, and the profits will likely follow.
8
74
476
When I started trading, all I was doing was spending countless hours analyzing charts hoping to find the pattern that would tell me the future
As a trader, all I do right now is follow my trading routine and let the opportunities come to me, stress-free.

Beginners will never value psychology until they come to the realization their technical analysis is not made to predict the market.

• Risk management makes sure you survive over the long run;
• Trade management makes sure you make the most out of each trade under your rules.
• Technicals make sure you are on the right probabilistic side.
Your psychology makes sure you execute these 3 the best way possible

A lot of traders have the motivation to make money in trading.
But they are not motivated to execute the actions that lead to that money.
And that's why they remain losing traders.

Remaining calm in market situations that once used to stress you out is a sign of maturity as a trader.
