[Sanjeev S @TradingInTheNow]

If the market is not screaming an opportunity at you, the best position is flat.

Preserving capital and observing from the sidelines is part of your job as a trader.

[J trader @jtrader]

Risk management doesn’t create the edge.

It allows you to survive long enough for the edge to matter.

[J trader @jtrader]

One rule I want you to remember

Never make a decision whose primary purpose is to remove the pain of the previous trade.

[Julian Komar @BlogJulianKomar]

No one tells you that every mediocre trade makes the next great trade harder to take.

It consumes capital.
It drains confidence.
It creates hesitation.

The true cost of a bad trade often appears later.

[J trader @jtrader]

Bad entries wound you.

Bad sizing buries you.

Nobody blows up from being wrong.

They blow up from being wrong AND too big.

[EliteOptionsTrader @EliteOptions2]

How I would start trading options if I only had $1,000:

- Pick one ticker
- Journal every single trade
- Take one trade per week max
- Size extra small for 30 days to learn
- Then size small enough that losses don’t hurt
- Mark the weekly and daily levels every Sunday

[Tony Trades @ScarfaceTrades_]

There are 3 phases of your trading journey.

1. Making money gambling

2. Losing money learning

3. Making money with ONE system.

[EliteOptionsTrader @EliteOptions2]

I got smoked sizing way too large on positions.

One bad trade would trigger a cascade of mistakes I couldn't stop.

The wins were big but came with emotional damage.

And multiple 6-figure losses…

Now I size for zero on every position.

Small enough that a loss is just a light graze.

That’s low cortisol trading.

Try it.

@REDBOXINDIA Don't dole out 50K per woman in UP elections then. This PM talks rubbish all the time!

[EliteOptionsTrader @EliteOptions2]

If you see a setup with real potential - size it right.

Small enough that a 30% pullback doesn't make you panic sell.

Big enough that if it runs, it changes something.

Most traders miss moves because of the setup.

So they thought…

9/10 times it’s because of the size.

They go too big, can't handle the drawdown, sell at the worst moment…

And watch it run without them.

Then they do it again next time.

Instead, just:

- size for the volatility.
- Stay in the trade.

You’re not growing as a trading if you don’t cringe at what you were doing last year

[Navvya Gupta @BullishLadki]

@JakeraChoudhury Because coming on the road and protesting to fix your problems is the only solution left in this country. Apparently, nowadays that's how they assess how dire the problem is! And we will never unite and hit the road against FM or SEBI

[J trader @jtrader]

The goal isn’t to win every trade.

The goal is to execute the same edge long enough for probability to do its job.

[EliteOptionsTrader @EliteOptions2]

You can make 6-figures a year trading if you do this:

1) Strategy

- No fear
- No greed
- No forcing

Wait for the level no matter how long it takes.

2) Risk

- No oversizing
- No risky trades
- No revenge trades

Size assuming it could go to zero.

3) Psychology

- Follow your rules
- Ignore your emotions

Become obsessed with following the process.

Getting funded will not change your life if you haven't learned how to trade..

[Luc @investingluc]

"Is trading hard?"

I don’t know, you tell me.

We need the mental toughness of a pro athlete, patience of a monk, precision of a brain surgeon, pattern recognition of a chess grandmaster.

All at the same time. Under pressure. While managing fear, greed, ego...in real time, with your own money on the line.

Competing against the smartest people on earth, the richest people on earth...who have better data, faster technology, and deeper pockets.

Whose entire business model is taking retail's money.

Oh ya...and you’re expected to stay calm, make rational decisions, and execute while in a violent dogfight with your own emotions.

Is trading hard? I don’t know, you tell me.

Next question.

[Steve Burns @SJosephBurns]

A trader must have a trifecta of skills:

1. A strategy with an edge that makes wins average out to more than the losses.

2. Risk management that prevents the risk of financial ruin.

3. The right trading psychology to manage emotions, discipline, and the ego.

@AshishGupta325 CAS, CAST and CASTE, everything is encapsulated here

[Navvya Gupta @BullishLadki]

@AshishGupta325 I supported this even though I am not even 0.00001% of either volume or value

Don’t be the guy taking 20 trades a day while making less than the guy taking 3 trades a week

We’re in trading for the freedom

Spending 6+ hours a day staring at charts isn’t freedom
