Ultimately, trading comes down to mindset.

Specifically, it means learning to let go of the gains and losses of each individual trade. Many beginners get stuck after a single loss, start to overthink, and after being liquidated once, begin to doubt everything—if you keep going like this, no matter how good your skills are, it’s all in vain.

A truly mature trader knows that no one can be right on every trade. Market conditions change in an instant, and black swan events can happen at any time. Instead of obsessing over how much you gained or lost on a single trade, it’s better to focus on long-term win rates and risk-reward ratios.

Letting go of attachments allows you to view the market more objectively, stick to your strategy, and avoid being swayed by emotions. This ability is a hundred times more important than reading candlestick charts or calculating support and resistance levels.
