Trading isn't hard.
Learning trading is, but once you get past that part it gets easy.
I actually think people SHOULD strategy hop in the beginning, people should experiment and see what's out there. Because trading is so extremely personal, you need to find what fits into YOUR mind.
That part is very, very important.
If I were to show you how I trade, you would probably not trade it the same. If someone else were to show me how they trade, I probably wouldn't trade the same way either. Because we are different, you didn't grow up the same way as me, you have your own experiences.
Which eventually leads to your emotions, those are your own as well. We need to learn how to understand ourselves. Why our emotions occur when they do, and why our emotional response acts the way it does.
With time, self growth occurs, things becomes more clear, we learn more about ourselves and how trading works.
Once we understand US, we can find a model that makes sense to US, and we that understanding is what creates success.
You need both a good model, and a personal growth/understanding.
But again, it has to fit you. You cannot fit into it. That's a massive difference.
Some people are more or less born to be swing traders, others are born to be scalpers. And guess what? That's ok.
Don't look down on others for trading differently, they have just found what fits their mind. And you will too.
Keep it up friend, I will be rooting for you!
Thank you for reading and entering a bit of my mind. You're awesome friend! π
