[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.
Trading can never replace the consistent income of a job.
Because it’s not a job—it’s a business.
[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.
As a trader, you have to be willing to lose money to make money.

[Be realistic and know that you won’t make money every day]
Here’s the thing:
A trading strategy seeks to exploit certain market conditions in order to profit from it.
(For example, Trend Following makes money when many markets are trending together.)
But as you know, the markets are always changing.
One moment it could be trending, the next, it could be ranging.
In other words, you’ll make money when market conditions are favourable to you.
When it isn’t, your trading strategy will lose money—which explains why you won’t make money every day (as market conditions change).

[You must trade with an edge (otherwise nothing else matters)]
You might be wondering:
“What is an edge?”
In layman’s terms, an edge is something you do repeatedly that yields a positive result.
For example:
The casino has an edge over the players because with more bets being played, the more the casino earns (in the long-run).
In mathematical terms, an edge is something that gives you a positive expectancy in the long run.
For example:
If every time you toss a coin and it comes up head, you win $2. And if it comes up tail, I lose $1.
In the long run, who will win?
You, of course!
By the way, if you want to learn a new trading system that has an edge in the markets, then check this out.
Now, this is important so I’ll repeat…
You must have an edge in the markets if you want to be a consistently profitable trader.
It doesn’t matter if you have the best trading psychology, risk management, favourable risk-to-reward ratio, etc.
Because without an edge, none of it matters.
Don’t believe me?
Then head down to your nearest casino.
You can bring along the best psychology, apply proper risk management, play games with favourable risk to reward, but in the long-run, you’ll still lose money.
Why?
Because the casino has a mathematical edge over you.
And it’s the same for trading!
IF you want to profit from the financial markets, then you must have an edge!
No matter how confident you are, you must always respect risk.
Or else, you’re just one trade from losing it all.
[Be prepared for a steep learning curve before profitability]
I’m sure you can agree:
Professionals like lawyers, doctors, pilots, etc. spend 5 years (or more) to master their craft.
That’s why in the early years of their career, they typically don’t “see the money” as they are in the learning stage.
But when they get good at it, BOOM, the money starts rolling in—but, it doesn’t happen overnight.
And it’s the same for a professional trader!
You’ll take years to build your foundation, make mistakes, find your edge, and if you survive long enough, you can’t help but get good at it.
So, don’t come into trading thinking you can quit your day job after taking an online course—it doesn’t work that way.
There’s a steep learning curve ahead and you must be prepared for it.
You’ve been warned.
Trading is the best game in the world.
Millions of players.
No discrimination.
No table limits.
Insane money.
Insane losses.
24 hours.
Good luck!
[How to grow a small trading account (that nobody tells you)]
It’s easy to grow a small trading account.
Want to take $500 and double it within 2 days?
Want to make 50% a week?
It’s easy because all you need to do is risk a huge % of your account on each trade, and if the trade goes your way, BOOM—target achieved.
But here’s the thing…
Just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it’s feasible.
Sure, you can double your account in a few days.
But, it’s also a matter of time before you give everything back to the markets, and more.
The solution?
Instead of looking for shortcuts, let time and money be on your side.
This means you’ll regularly add funds to your account and compound your returns.
How to reduce your fear of trading:
Don’t go all in
Manage your risks
Reduce your position size
Trade with a strategy that offers an edge
Not more than 50% of your wealth in the markets

In business:
You need capital.
You have expenses to cover.
You don't expect to succeed from day one.
You need some time before you make a profit.
Trading is a business—so treat it as one.
[To be a pro trader, you must be willing to get your hands dirty]
Now:
Just because you came up with a hypothesis to your question, doesn’t mean it’s correct.
That’s why as a professional trader, it’s your job to validate your trading ideas (or hypothesis).
You’ve got to get your hands dirty and do the work like backtesting, forward testing, etc.
For example, you might wonder:
“Is a 10-week breakout better than a 50-week breakout in terms of returns relative to risk?”
Well, to find out you can do a backtest across a universe of stocks using these two parameters, and see which offers a better result.
To make your life easier, here are some tools you can use for backtesting…
Amibroker – A backtesting platform
Norgate Data – Data feed
Upwork – A marketplace to find programmers
Still, most of you won’t do it because it’s easier to solicit an opinion than to actually do the work.
The problem is, you’ll never know if it’s true, or not—that’s why you must be willing to get your hands dirty and do the work!
