Most trading mistakes share one cause: decisions made in the moment, not before the trade. A trading plan and a pre-trade checklist move those decisions to when the market is quiet.

Your own trading data is a useful teacher. A trading journal covers four steps: the setup, the entry, the exit and the lesson. Review execution, not just the final profit or loss.

A pip is a fraction of a cent, until it meets leverage and position size. Then one pip can move your account by a meaningful amount, in either direction. Check the contract specs before you trade.

Why do Bollinger Bands expand and contract? Tight bands show low volatility, wide bands show high volatility. A band touch isn't an automatic buy or sell signal, so read it alongside price structure.
