The secret to trading - once you know everything else; is simple really.
1) trade structure. When 4hr, daily, weekly and monthly timeframes align, I trade structure. I prefer to trade bullish structure because they last longer, are more consistent, and bring bigger moves.
2) buy support and sell resistance. It’s really that easy.
3) know your invalidation levels and TP levels and stick to them.
4) cut your losses fast, change biases faster. Most people don’t trade well because they do all three listed above but end up trading against the trend.
5) use low leverage if any at all. Gains compound over time. Most traders aren’t profitable because they get greedy.
You have to be consistent. Kill your ego. You have nothing to prove to anyone.
