The professional trader's mindset:
"I missed that one. Next."
No regret. No chasing. No revenge trade.
Just patience for the next clean setup.

#trading #tradingpsychology #tradingmindset

The market moves. You're not in it.
"I missed it. I need to get in."
That thought has cost traders more money than any bad system ever could.

[Alex Gerchik @gerchik_alex]

Here's the truth about missed trades:
Every missed setup is protecting your capital.
The market will give you another chance.
A blown account won't.

[Alex Gerchik @gerchik_alex]

A bad end is better than endless horror.
Take the loss. Close the trade. Move on.
Holding a losing position and hoping it turns around is not a strategy.
It's how accounts get wiped.

Price has already moved 75% of its daily range.
And you want to enter now?
That's not a trade. That's chasing.
When 75–80% of ATR is gone — there's no energy left for continuation.
Wait for the next day. The setup will come.

Do you keep a trading journal?

Count characters for Friday postI've kept a trading journal since day one.

Every trade. Every mistake. Every lesson.

Do you keep one?

Compression before a level — what it means 🤔

What's happening during compression?
The big player is accumulating.
Small bars. Tight range. Price hugging the level.
They're not leaving. They're loading up.

#trading #technicalanalysis #daytrading

The market is open every day.
The right setup is not.

Patience is not a personality trait. It's a trading skill.
Learn it — or the market will teach you the expensive way.

#trading #tradingpsychology #tradingmindset

[Alex Gerchik @gerchik_alex]

You should never move your stop loss.

You set your stop before you enter.

Not after. Not during. Before.

Moving your stop further away isn't risk management.

It's hope. And hope is not a trading strategy.

Set it. Leave it. Sharp.

#trading #tradingstrategy #riskmanagement

[Alex Gerchik @gerchik_alex]

The stop is not your enemy.

A stop doesn't cost you money.

A missing stop does.

The difference between a professional and an amateur isn't the win rate.

It's whether they have a stop in the market. Every. Single. Time.

"Closing near the level — what it means and why it matters"

One level. Two completely different scenarios.

The close tells you which one you're in.

Learn to read it — and you'll stop entering at the wrong moment.

[Alex Gerchik @gerchik_alex]

The attentive trader's principle:

What happened — that shouldn't have.
What didn't happen — that should have.

If there's no impulse after a breakout — that's your signal.

Watch what the market doesn't do.

Every trader has made it.
Some make it once. Some make it every week.

Most traders don't lose to the market.

Emotions don't follow your trading plan. They override it.

3 losses in a row — stop. Walk away.

The trader who blows his account doesn't lose to the market.

He loses to himself.

[Alex Gerchik @gerchik_alex]

If your risk-to-reward is 1:3 — you only need to win 1 out of every 3 trades to stay profitable.

1 winner. 2 losers. Still in the green.
Stop chasing wins. Start chasing the right trades.

1:3 minimum. Every single time. No exceptions.

#trading #tradingstrategy #daytrading

[Alex Gerchik @gerchik_alex]

Most traders think about profit first.

I think about my stop first.
Where do I exit if I'm wrong? Does the reward justify the risk?

Only then do I enter.

Your stop is not your enemy.
It's the only thing standing between you and a blown account.

No stop defined = no trade.
