The market doesn’t care that you’ve been waiting all week.
It doesn’t care that you haven’t taken a trade in days.
And it doesn’t care that you’re eager to make money.
Your job is not to trade every day but to protect your capital until a setup worth risking money on appears📉
Imagine if your broker charged you $500 every time you took a trade that wasn’t in your plan.
Most traders would suddenly become patient.
The funny thing is…
that’s exactly what’s already happening.
You lose money “EVERYTIME” you break your rule. Isn't it?
Survival is the goal at the beginning.
Not profit. Not lambos. Not flexing on the TL.
The traders who last long enough to become profitable are the ones who protected their capital first.
The 10 trades rule (1% risk ) changed how I see every trade:
Never risk more than 1% of your account on a single trade.
$50 account → max risk per trade = $5
Sounds small. But it means you can lose 6-7 trades in a row and still have money to trade tomorrow.
They risk too much on a single trade.
You have $50. You risk $20 on one setup.
It goes wrong. Now you're down 40% and chasing losses.
That's not a market problem. That's a position sizing problem.
