Most trading advice starts with the chart. Mine starts with you.
It’s never been easier to start trading. You can do it on your phone in a few taps, and crypto’s attracted millions who were never interested before. With inflation eating savings, it’s no surprise many want in.
But easy to start isn’t the same as ready. Too many are unprepared, taking their cues from the loudest voices. And the experienced aren’t immune. I see traders lose to ego, greed and fear before the market itself has a chance.
These rules are the grounding I wish I’d had sooner. Some of them deal with charts and how markets move – handy tricks of the trade. But the most important concern mindset and habit, which help you hold firm when the market changes.
I can’t promise profits. Nobody honest can. What I can give you is a set of practical rules. A fast track to trading in a more disciplined, rational way. And that can make all the difference.
Learn the markets, but know yourself even better.
