[To be a winning trader, you’ll need this one thing…]
Here’s a clue:
• It’s not technical analysis
• It’s not price action trading
• It’s not trading psychology
It’s this…
Your trading strategy must have an edge in the markets.
You’re probably wondering:
“What does this mean?”
Well, here’s an example:
Let’s say I make a coin-toss bet with you.
• Every time the coin comes up heads, you win $2.
• Every time the coin comes up tails, I lose $1.
In the long-run, who will win?
You, of course!
Why?
Because you have an edge over me.
And this is the same for trading!
You must have an edge in the markets because without it, nothing else matters.
You’re thinking:
“But how do I find an edge in the markets?”
The easiest way is to leverage the work of other traders, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
So, go and read trading books that contain trading systems with backtested results.
(Based on my experience, these trading systems have a good chance of working in the live markets.)
Then, take the concepts of these trading systems and validate them on your own so you know whether it works, or not.

[Keep an eye on volatility to manage your trades better]
Here’s the thing:
The market moves in volatility cycles—from a low period of volatility to high volatility, and vice versa.
This means if the market is in a low volatility environment, it’s a sign the market is about to make a big move (and you want to be prepared for it).
Here’s an example…
Let’s say you went long on the 4-hour timeframe and the market quickly moves in your favour.
Also, you noticed the daily timeframe has formed a buildup, a low volatility price pattern which looks like a “squeeze”.
So, what do you do?
1. Hold your trade with the hopes that if volatility expands, it does so in your favour
2. Exit your trade at the nearest swing high as the market might reverse against you
3. I don’t know
For me, I’d hold my trade because there’s a huge profit potential if volatility expands in my favour.
Exiting your trades based on emotions will usually be at the worst possible price (when you can't take the pain any longer).
Instead, pre-determined your exit when your head is clear—and stick to it.
You'll do much better in the long run.
[Pay attention to how long it took a chart pattern to be formed]
Here’s the deal:
The more time the market spends forming a reversal chart pattern, the more significant it is.
For example, if you compare a head and shoulders pattern that takes 30 candles to form against another that takes 100 candles to form.
Which is more significant?
Of course, it’s the one with a longer duration.
Why?
Two reasons.
#1: It’s more obvious and attracts attention from more traders.
#2: More resting orders are placed around the neckline of the head and shoulder patterns (from bullish traders who expect support to hold or, short traders looking to sell the breakdown).
Whatever the case is, the longer it takes for reversal patterns to form, the more significant it is.

[Always be a student of the markets]
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 out everything else (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 have 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.
One tip I can give to a fearful trader is to trade smaller.
Keep reducing risk to your comfort level, and slowly work your way up.
Rome wasn't built in a day and it's the same for your trading account.
[Follow your trading plan regardless of each trade’s outcome]
When I was a 7-year-old, my teacher would give me a “star sticker” whenever I put in the effort to do my homework, regardless of whether the answer is right or wrong.
In other words, she rewards effort, not the outcome.
If you think about it, this approach is highly suitable for trading.
You should reward yourself whenever you follow your trading plan regardless of whether the trade is a winning or a loser.
So here’s how the star system works…
1. Every time you follow your plan, you get 1 star
2. Every time you didn’t follow your plan, you get -2 stars
3. The goal of the star system is to accumulate 100 stars
As you can see, the focus isn’t to make profits.
Rather, it’s to accumulate as many stars as possible by being consistent with your actions.
Remember, a consistent set of actions lead to a consistent set of results.
[You’re always a student of the markets]
Here’s my story…
I started with price action trading in my early years of trading. I dived deep into topics like candlestick patterns, support & resistance, chart patterns, etc.
After I had a firm grasp of price action trading, I wondered to myself…
“How do hedge funds and institutions trade the markets?”
This brought me to the world of Trend Following—how billion-dollar hedge funds profit in bull & bear markets.
At this point, I realized Trend Following is only one type of systematic trading strategies.
As I dug deeper, I discovered more trading systems that could profit in different market conditions—which incentivized me to build my own trading systems.
The best part?
I’m still learning every day even though I’ve been trading for more than a decade now.
So my point is this…
As a professional trader, you will always be a student of the markets.
Because there are new trading strategies to learn, emotional demons to conquer, and market changes to adapt to.
The day you stop learning is the day you start failing—don’t let that happen to you.
Don't memorize patterns, candlesticks, etc.
If you want to get better at this game, ask yourself:
What are traders on the sideline thinking?
Where will other traders get trapped?
Where’s the path of least resistance?
Where will new players enter?
Where will losers cut loss?
[Don’t be fooled by this trading law…]
Here’s a process that most traders go through…
1. Learn a new trading strategy to trade the markets
2. When the trading strategy stops working, try something new
3. When something “new” stops working, try something else
4. Rinse repeat over again
Now, what’s wrong with it?
Well, if you abandon your trading strategy after a few losses, then it’s like saying a coin is fake when it comes up 5 heads in a row.
That’s silly, right?
You know that in the short-run, a coin could come up heads (or tails) multiple times in a row.
But if you toss the coin 1,000 times, then you’re likely to get closer to 50% heads and 50% tails.
Now this concept is the same as trading.
In the short-run, your trading results are random. But in the long-run, it’ll align towards your system’s expectancy.
So, don’t abandon your trading strategy after a few losses.
Instead, give your trading strategy time to play out its edge (at least 100 trades or more) before concluding whether it works, or not.
Or else, you’re just getting fooled by the law of large numbers—you’ve been warned.
No edge.
No discipline.
No accountability.
No risk management.
No surprise why most traders fail.
If you're serious about trading, then you MUST have a trading journal. Here's how to create one step by step…

Don't focus on goals like: I want to make $20k a month.
It will NOT improve your results.
Instead, focus on the process like:
I will follow my plan consistently regardless of the outcome.
I will stay out of the market when I don't have a setup.
I will journal my trades.
And etc.
