Trading skills in order of importance.
Don't make the expensive mistake of jumping straight to step 5.
Start here first:
1. Psychology + Intuition
As manual traders, our intuition and ability to execute are the most important skills we can develop.
Books and studying help but nothing beats screen time.
2. Capital Preservation
No amount of money makes you "safe" if you cannot keep it.
I've seen 9 figure traders go broke several times.
Manage your bankroll or lose everything.
3. Trade Journaling
Trading without journaling is like cooking without tasting.
It is the fastest way to improve your technical and psychological execution.
This is the "boring" work that separates those who make it and those who don't.
4. Strategy Development
You need a strategy to make money.
This topic requires a deep dive.
I’ll explain in my next article.
5. Technical Analysis
This is easy.
You need your TA to be:
-Consistent
-Able to express your strategy on a chart
You're just drawing lines on a chart, stop
spending 90% of your time on this.
That's it.
