INTRO
Just had dinner with a stock market veteran who turned $30,000 into over $7 million (hence my delay in updating the data analysis).
During the meal, I asked him: What do you think is the essence of trading?
He said the most important things are:
- Mindset
- Strategy
Notably, he placed mindset before strategy because he believes mindset is the most crucial.
-
MINDSET
- When you are correct, and your strategy is working, the decision to exit or hold is critical.
-
Conversely, if the market does not align with your strategy, you must trust your strategy and exit.
-
STRATEGY
-
- Your strategy should align with your personality, trading habits, and the size of your capital, rather than blindly imitating others.
- Initially, it’s fine to learn from others, but during the learning process, absorb their wisdom and transform it into your own.
- Ultimately, develop a strategy that suits you and belongs to you.
ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT POINT: FOCUS
- Focus on one area and become the top in that field.
- Don’t try to engage in both short-term and long-term trading.
- Don’t attempt to learn Price Action (PA), Smart Money Concepts (SMC), and indicator trading simultaneously.
- Choose a suitable weapon and continuously sharpen it into your own sharp blade.
While drafting this, he added another point:
- Don’t feel anxious or inadequate when you see others making profits.
- Trading is a competition with yourself, not others.
- As long as you continuously improve compared to your previous self and your performance keeps enhancing, that’s enough.
“Trading is a race against yourself.”
This friend of mine is preparing to enter the crypto market soon. Looking forward to his performance.
