Trading Best Practices

Risk Management

Always use stop losses and proper position sizing. Never risk more than 1-2% of your account per trade.

Emotional Control

Stick to your trading plan. Avoid revenge trading or emotional decisions after losses.

Continuous Learning

Keep learning and improving your strategies. Markets evolve constantly.

Consistent Trading

Trade regularly but don't overtrade. Quality over quantity.

Performance Tracking

Monitor your performance and adjust strategies as needed.

Capital Preservation

Protecting your capital is more important than chasing profits.
