Trading Mountain : How to reach the top step-by-step


• As we all know, the road that leads to successful and consistently profitable trading is a pretty difficult and long one.
• It takes years of hard work, patience, dedication, and experience to reach the top of the trading mountain. Many beginners make similar mistakes before starting their journey.
• As it can be inferred from the graphical illustration, the mountain pattern connects dots and shows a realistic path of a successful trader to the top of the hill .
• After we have decided what our strategy will look like, we build a trading plan around it and make it a part of our lifestyle. We identify our trade entry criteria, risk management plan and so forth .
• After everything is went through and all hills are climbed, the top of the mountain will be reached. Of course, being a professional trader does not necessarily signify that there will be no failing trades and the win rate will always be above 90%.

Newcomers are most likely to stumble: placing orders without a plan, losing money and then adding more to hold on, ultimately leading to an emotional breakdown.

Treating trading as a way of life is a very heartfelt statement, but it truly requires building it up through long-term habits.

The key is still risk control + execution capability; no matter how good the strategy is, it must withstand drawdowns.

There will still be failed orders even when reaching the top; this is very important. Don't idolize professional traders.

The "climbing" process in the picture is very similar: first learning the rules, then being educated by the market, and gradually stabilizing.

Can you tell me more about how your trading plan is implemented? For example, the review frequency, position size limits, and so on.

A win rate doesn't need to be 90%; as long as the risk-reward ratio and discipline are maintained, you can survive in the long run.

That's quite realistic; trading is really not about getting rich overnight.

I feel this applies to the cryptocurrency world: with high volatility, it's even more important to set entry conditions and stop-loss points in advance.

I agree more with "making fewer mistakes" being more important than "earning more money"; don't let yourself be eliminated first.
