Big gains don’t come from being “right” on one trade — they come from how you manage your portfolio over a long period of time. Not over 10 trades; over thousands of them. A few principles that separate profitable traders from everyone else: - Position sizing > predictions - Your job isn’t to call tops/bottoms. It’s to survive being wrong. - Cut losers fast, let winners breathe Small losses are a cost of doing business. Big winners are what pay the bills. - Never let one idea have the power to ruin you - If one trade can blow you up, your risk is too big. - Be consistent, not flashy. Everything should feel boring. If it's exciting then you're likely adding a gambling element. ⭐️Boring, repeatable process beats exciting, chaotic trading⭐️
