How to become a confident and consistently profitable trader?
The key lies in mental strength and discipline. During trading, don’t fear losses, and don’t hesitate in decision-making. If you experience a loss, avoid revenge trading – that’s a huge mental killer.
Here are some action points you need to take:
1. **Learn the basics seriously** Don’t trade just based on feelings. Understand charts, trends, support-resistance, and the fundamentals of the assets you trade. The more solid your knowledge, the less irrational fear you’ll have.
2. **Establish clear trading rules** Create a plan before opening a position. Risk management is not optional – determine what percentage of your capital you’re willing to risk per trade. Follow the rules, full stop.
3. **Track record and review** Record every trade. Analyze which ones are profitable, which ones are losses, and WHY. Pattern recognition from your own experience is more powerful than any teacher.
4. **Accept losses as part of the game** There’s no perfect trader. Losses are the tuition fee in the market. What differentiates successful traders is whether they learn from losses or get stuck there.
5. **Consistency > home run** Don’t chase big profits in one shot. Small, consistent wins are much more sustainable than chasing high volatility that can blow up your account.

Ah, revenge trading is really the devil—just one time can wipe out a whole month's profit.

This is real talk, revenge trading really kills your mental 💀
Bro, I used to be like that too, losing my account several times. Now I realize that being consistent is way more effective than jumping in once and then quitting.
Clear rules are like a safety belt; if you don't use them, just wait for a crash.
