CORE LESSONS
What to understand before you risk capital.
A practical path from market structure and setup selection to position sizing, execution, and post-trade review.
The setup
A useful setup includes context, trigger, stop, target, and conditions that mean no trade.
Position sizing
Size should come from the stop distance and the amount you are willing to lose.
Execution
Order types balance speed, certainty, and price control.
Trade management
Partial exits, stop movement, and time-based exits should be planned before emotion appears.
Review loop
Screenshots, notes, mistakes, and rule grades turn each session into training data.
Prepare
Scan for liquidity and catalyst.
Filter
Choose one clean setup.
Execute
Define entry, stop, target, and size.
Review
Review the trade after the close.
COMMON MISTAKES
What usually hurts new traders.
- Changing the plan mid-trade.
- Trading too many tickers at once.
- Using indicators as permission instead of evidence.
- Ignoring slippage and spread width.
PRACTICE DRILL
Turn the lesson into skill.
Paper trade the full process first: planning, execution, screenshots, and review. Do not practice only entries.
Important: education should improve preparation and risk awareness, but it does not remove market risk or guarantee profit.
Trading involves risk, including the loss of capital. Use these materials for education, verify important information independently, and make decisions that fit your own circumstances.
