Here's What Actually Drives My Trading Edge

People often ask why my win rate stays consistently high. It's not magic—it comes down to a few core principles that separate profitable traders from the rest.

First, I stick to setups with asymmetric risk-reward ratios. Risking $1 to make $3+ isn't negotiable. Most retail traders chase breakeven trades and wonder why they're broke.

Second, psychology matters more than indicators. I've seen traders with perfect technical analysis blow accounts because they panic-sold winners or held losers hoping for reversals. Discipline beats brilliance every time.

Third, position sizing isn't optional—it's survival. Even with an 80% win rate, one bad trade can wipe you out if you're over-leveraged. I size positions so losing streaks don't hurt.

Finally, I trade conviction, not noise. When the setup aligns with my strategy, I take it. When it doesn't, I sit on my hands. Boredom in trading is often a sign you're doing it right.

The win rate speaks for itself when you eliminate emotion and follow a process.
