I don't qualify for the 3-5 years requirement, but here are some things I've learnt throughout my journey so far. --------------- • Prioritize executing your trades rather than posting trading view screenshots on social media, and seeking validations. You're not here to impress anyone but yourself, and honestly, nobody cares. • No matter how clean and perfect a trade looks, never risk all your portfolio on it. You can never be too sure of the outcome of a trade, Trading and Overconfidence don't go together. • Capital is arguably not the major problem as a trader. Focus on getting the skill, fund the little you have, and start scaling up slowly. If you can't trade a small capital, what makes you think you'll trade a larger one profitably? • Don't spend most of your time learning technical analysis that you forget the emotional aspect of trading. I know lots of traders that are very good at getting entries and spotting price directions, yet they're not profitable because they can't control their emotions while trading. You'll see them giving out signals to people who make money, but they'll end up not making anything even after giving out these signals. If this is you, then you have to start working on that. • Don't trade demo for too long. Try to fund your account, it'll help you start learning to control your emotions early and in due time, you'll start mastering how to control it. Demo makes you reluctant about the outcome of a trade, because you didn't risk real money. • Success doesn't happen overnight, and trading isn't a get rich quick scheme. Grow at your own pace, and give it time. It gets easier with time, trust me. • Surround yourself with serious minded traders that would actually root for you, and grow with you. If your circle isn't adding value or improvement to you, then you need to change your circle. • As a Trader with lesser experience, focus more on conservative trading rather than trying to flip any small fund you have into millions. These guys you see flipping effortlessly have way more funds, and can withstand more losses than you! • If you make profits, try to withdraw and spoil yourself. It's your achievement, no matter how small. Don't get pressured by the profits other traders make, use it as a motivation to fuel your zeal towards success. • Don't let Greed consume you, always take profits according to what your trade plan permits. Greed is a killer of success. I'll stop here for now, I hope you all find them useful. @reeyah_sa Sir, I apologize for dropping more than one advice 😅.
