The One Thing That Changed My Trading Game Forever…
I want to share one thing that completely transformed my trading forever…
It helped me make more money than ever before.
Are you ready for it? 🫢
I stopped chasing the market.
That's right…
When I first started trading, I was always trying to catch the next big move, jumping from one hot stock to another.
I thought that was the key to success.
But you know what? It was actually the key to losing money.
By constantly chasing the market, I was always late to the game. I was literally in EVERY stock.
Sure, I had some big wins, but they didn’t outweigh the multitude of losses.
I’d let positions get too big or ignore stop losses and I was constantly chasing the next big trade.
I would have so many positions I’d forget about half of them. I was exposing myself to unnecessary risk.
It was a losing strategy, plain and simple.
I didn’t know how much I was at risk at any given moment, I was just looking for the next setup.
So, I made a change…
I focused on simplifying my trading plan and getting my sizing right.
I took my time and waited for trades to come to me. NEVER the other way around…
`and simply placed my bets to be in the right place when conditions were right.
I set clear targets and exit points BEFORE I enter every trade. And once I was in, I’d immediately send the closing orders.
I implemented strict risk management rules that aligned with my strategy and risk tolerance.
EVERY DAY, I looked at my portfolio and objectively asked myself, “Would I take this trade one more time right here, right now.”
And guess what?
It worked. 😎
By sticking to my plan, I was able to get ahead of the market.
I started making real, consistent profits.
So, here's my advice to you: stop chasing the market.
Develop your own solid trading plan and stick to it with discipline.
Trust me, it's the one thing that can truly change your trading game forever.
