There’s really nothing magical to learn in trading. No secret formulas. No indicator that will save you. All the technology talk — it’s noise.
The core idea is brutally simple:→ If you’re right — hold longer.→ If you’re wrong — exit fast. No hesitation. No averaging down.
That’s it.Your winners just need to be bigger than your losses. If that’s true — over time, the math works in your favor. Your equity curve will grow.
Sounds easy, right?Until emotions kick in...
Most people do the exact opposite:→ They take profits too early because they fear losing them.→ They hold onto losing trades way too long, hoping they’ll recover.→ And when the loss finally turns green — they exit immediately, just happy to escape.
