✍️ Probably the best lesson if you want to be a profitable trader

Trading is like driving a car. If you have a stop sign and enter an intersection without making sure it’s clear, you’ll most likely get hit by a car that entered the intersection properly.
It’s the same in trading, if you enter a trade without edge, without a clean trigger and without perfect risk management, you’ll most likely get hit by the market and lose money.
Profitable traders know it’s not hard, but you need discipline, edge, clean trigger, risk management.
Don’t think you are smarter than the market, don’t trade against the trend, the trend is your friend. Patience is key, you do nothing until the price comes on its own into the support/resistance zones.
Always use a stop loss, never move your stop loss and never add to a position thinking you will escape liquidation. Learn to accept when the market tells you were wrong. Cut your losses if the market has shown you were wrong and invalidated your edge. Learn to read price action. Simple
