Introduction

Trading is 10% strategy and 90% psychology. Your mindset determines whether you win or lose in the long run.

Step 1: Accept Losses

Losses are part of the game. Even the best traders lose.

• Mindset Shift: View losses as a "business expense" or the cost of doing business.
• Action: Don't get angry. Analyze why you lost and move on.

Step 2: Control Greed

Greed makes you overtrade or hold positions too long.

• Set a Target: Have a daily profit goal (e.g., +5%).
• Stop When You Win: Once you hit your goal, close the charts.

Step 3: Eliminate Fear

Fear causes you to miss good opportunities or exit trades too early.

• Cause: Usually trading with money you can't afford to lose.
• Solution: Only trade with disposable income.

Step 4: Keep a Journal

Document every trade.

• Entry time/Price.
• Reason for entry.
• Result.
• Emotional state.
