Forex Trading Reminders

Mindset & Discipline

  1. Trade your edge, not your emotions.
  2. No setup = No trade. Sit on your hands.
  3. Patience is profit. The market rewards discipline, not urgency.
  4. Protect your capital first. Profit is secondary to survival.
  5. Trading is waiting. Be okay with missing moves that aren’t yours.

Strategy & Execution

  1. Stick to your plan. No improvisation.
  2. Always know your SL, TP, and risk before you enter a trade.
  3. Let winners run, cut losers fast.
  4. Don’t chase the market. Let the market come to you.
  5. Your setup should be clear. If you have to convince yourself, it’s not valid.

Risk Management

  1. 1-2% max risk per trade.
  2. Losses are part of the game. Don’t revenge trade.
  3. Your lot size must match your account and stop loss.
  4. A good trade can lose, and a bad trade can win. Focus on the process.

Review & Growth

  1. Journal everything – wins, losses, emotions, thoughts.
  2. Grade your setups: A, B, or C. Only take A or B trades.
  3. Review your trades weekly. Learn, adjust, improve.
  4. Success in trading is about consistency, not intensity.

Emotional Control

  1. Fear of missing out (FOMO) is not a strategy.
  2. You are not your PnL.
  3. Breathe. Zoom out. It’s just one trade in thousands.
  4. One good trade at a time. That’s all you need.
  5. Your edge is my discipline, not just your setup.
