1⃣ Always have a Trading Plan
It is said 95% traders lose money, especially beginners. This happens to those who don’t have trading plan.
Remember Benjamin Franklin's quote “Failing to plan is planning to fail”
Key to becoming successful in trading is to stick to trading plan.
2⃣ Treat Trading as Business
Many people consider trading similar to gambling or just consider trading as their hobby. In most cases, such people often lose money in trading.
Get-rich-quick mindset that comes with gambling is not at all suitable for the stock market.
3⃣ Always have a Trading Journal
If you want to become consistent & profitable trader then you must develop a habit of maintaining trading journal.
Just maintaining trading journal is not enough, you should review it at regular intervals & take corrective actions if required.
