[If you want a consistent income, don’t be a trader]
Here’s the deal:
Many traders get into trading because they want to generate another source of income.
That’s because they want to quit their 9 to 6 job and have the freedom to do the things you love.
Now, if that sounds like you then here’s a warning to you…
Trading is one of the worst ways to earn a regular source of income.
Why?
Because the markets are always changing!
A trading strategy that makes money this week might go into a drawdown the next.
Now, it doesn’t mean you can’t trade the strategy anymore but, it’ll take time for market conditions to revert to your favour—and it could take a few weeks or months.
This means you shouldn’t expect to make profits every single day, week or month.
You only take what the markets give, and nothing more.
It's easier to make $1k from your job than trading.
But it’s easier to make $1m from trading than your job.
That's the power of compounding.
[The ONE thing you must have in trading that nobody tells you]
This is one of the biggest trading myths which have fooled most traders…
“If you have a winning trading strategy, you can use it to make millions of dollars from the markets.”
That’s B.S.
I’ll explain…
Yes, you can have a winning strategy but, it doesn’t mean you can make millions of dollars.
Why?
Because the size of your account matters!
Let me give you an example…
Let’s say you have a trading strategy that makes 20% a year.
On a $1,000 account, that’s $200/year.
On a $10,000 account, that’s $2,000/year.
On a $1m account, that’s $200,000/year.
As you can see, your trading strategy is one part of the equation, the other equally important aspect is the size of your account.
And this is the same reason why hedge funds raise millions, if not billions of dollars—they need money to make money in trading.
There comes a point in trading where too much information hurts.
You must put what you know into practice, a plan, something concrete you can test, verify, and validate.
If you're not getting the results you want, take a step back and work with what you have—not add more.
[The truth about trading nobody tells you]
Trading is a get-rich-slow scheme.
You’re probably wondering:
“But Rayner, I’ve heard of traders trading a small account and turning it into 7-figures.”
Now, that could be possible but the odds of you pulling it off are slim to none.
Here’s why…
The only way for you to make a huge sum of money quickly is to take a huge risk on your trades.
If you get lucky, you could generate 6 or 7-figures on your account.
But here’s the deal:
99.99% of traders who attempt it will blow up their accounts. Only a lucky few could get away with it (and it’s nothing to do with skill, but luck).
But hey, don’t take my word for it. Here’s what Warren Buffet has to say about his wealth…
“My wealth has come from a combination of living in America, some lucky genes and compound interest.” – Warren Buffet
The keyword here is compound interest.
In other words, Warren Buffet became the richest investor in the world by being the best at what he does and, compounding his returns.
This is not achieved over a few weeks or months—rather, it’s compounded over 50+ years.
So, if you’re looking at trading as a get-rich-quick scheme, then guess what? You are the scheme.
“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn’t, pays it.” – Albert Einstein
Many traders make the mistake of trying to find the best trading strategy.
In reality, it's about knowing yourself so you can find the best strategy to suit you.

Many traders think you need to take high risk for high returns.
Wrong!
You should risk small, let your edge play out, add capital, and compound your gains over time—that's how you make it BIG.
[Pullback stock trading tips]
When it comes to stock trading, it’s possible to have hundreds of stocks forming a pullback trading setup at the same time.
So the question is:
How do you know which stocks to buy and which to avoid?
Well, the secret is to focus on stocks which have increased the most in price over the last 12 months.
Why?
Because these are stocks likely to outperform the market (and it’s been proven in theory as well according to the paper Returns to Buying Winners and Selling Losers by Jegadeesh and Titman).
So, how do you apply this to your trading?
1. Rank stocks according to their rate of change (ROC) over the last 50-weeks—from the highest to the lowest
2. Look for a pullback trading setup on stocks with the highest ROC value. If there isn’t, then move to the next stock (with a lower ROC value)
3. The top 5 stocks with a valid pullback trading setup are the ones to focus on
Pro Tip:
You can use a platform like Thinkorswim to help you rank the stocks, and it’s free.
The government don't owe you anything.
The world don't owe you anything.
The rich don't owe you anything.
Nobody is here to save you.
The good news?
You don't need anybody because you already have all the resources at your disposal—the internet.
You can acquire almost anything skills you want if you put your mind to it
So go for it.
[My trading journey]
Here’s my learning curve as a trader:
I started with indicators, then price action trading.
And for a few years, I thought that’s all I needed because after all, the price is king and that’s all I needed to be a profitable trader.
But that hurts my growth because I tuned everything else out (and limited myself only to price action trading).
When I realized my folly, I quickly went back to being a student of the markets.
So I asked myself:
“What are other winning traders doing to profit from the markets?”
That’s when I got exposed to trend following, systems trading, mean reversion trading, etc.
The outcome?
Today, I trade multiple trading strategies across different markets—which results in a smoother equity curve of my portfolio.
So the lesson is this:
You might be a profitable trader but, it doesn’t mean your learning curve is over because you’re always a student of the market.
When you have some trading profits, don't upgrade your lifestyle too quickly.
Because when the losses come, they will be a liability to your finances, mindset, and performance.

[Here’s how to avoid getting stopped out of your trades early]
Let me ask you…
Have you ever put on a trade only to watch the market hit your stop loss, and then continue moving in your expected direction?
It sucks, right?
And that’s because your stop loss is “too tight”.
So, what’s the solution?
Give your trade room to breathe.
This means your stop loss should be wide enough to accommodate the daily swings of the market.
Now you’re probably wondering:
“But how much is wide enough?”
“How to use ATR to improve my stop loss objectively, will it actually help?”
Well, here’s how you can use the ATR indicator to help you with it…
— Find out what’s the current ATR value
— Select a multiple of the ATR value
— Add that amount to nearest Support & Resistance level
So…
If you are long from Support and have a multiple of 1, then set your stop loss 1ATR below the lows of Support.
Or if you’re short from Resistance, and have a multiple of 2 then set your stop loss 2ATR above the highs of Resistance.
