Embrace Market Reality
- Many traders have unrealistic expectations about market behavior that hinder success.
- Success depends more on consistently following your own disciplined methodology over time.
Focus on Risk and Position Sizing
- Define your risk per trade beforehand and use position sizing based on support or swing lows.
- Focus on catching as much of the move as possible without needing hyper-precise entries.
Use ATR to Trail Stops

- Adjust stops regimentally as price moves up by half or full ATR to protect profits without increasing risk.
