Importance of Having an Income Source Apart from Trading

One key recommendation is to have an income source apart from trading. This is important because relying solely on trading for income can create significant pressure. If you have another income source, you can trade without the added pressure of needing to make money. Building this income source gives you the mental space to focus on trading and experiment with different strategies. It also provides security in case of trading losses. Establishing this income source should be a priority for aspiring traders.
