In trading, it pays to be a specialist—not a generalist.

Risk ignored today becomes pain tomorrow. Don’t let one bad trade erase by years of good ones.

Markets revert to the mean just like I revert to my fridge no matter how many diets I start. Human behaviour never change.

Never go all-in on one stock. Diversify like having multiple kids—if one disappoints, you still have backup.

Trading makes you humble. Because you'll never be the fastest, smartest or richest. Even if you are, the market still finds a way to humble you.

You get paid being a specialist because you dive deep—and spot opportunities others miss.

Trading is the transfer of money from those without an edge to those with one.

Big red candles aren’t scary. They’re opportunities for mean reversion trading. The uglier the chart, the prettier the bounce.

Trading teaches you “ACCEPTANCE”. Accept red days. Accept whipsaws. Accept that your wife’s shopping has no stop-loss.

Traders don’t punch card. We punch screen when stop loss get hit.

In trading, it's not about predicting the market. Just like a casino, the key is to manage risk and let your edge play out. Your success as a trader depends on how well you execute your strategy, not predicting what the markets will do.

[If you’re a newbie trader, avoid this habit of averaging into losses] Imagine: You bought 1 lot of EUR/USD at 1.3000. Shortly, the price dropped 50 pips and you’re down $500. Now you’re thinking to yourself… “I knew it, the market is out to get me again.” “But wait… if I buy another 1 lot of EUR/USD, then I can quickly get out at breakeven if the price moves up 25 pips.” “I’m a genius!” So… You buy another lot of EUR/USD at 1.2950. Next thing you know, EUR/USD tanked 100 pips—which puts you at a loss of $3,500. In other words… If you had cut your loss from the start, it would have only been a loss of $500. But because you gave in to your emotions and averaged into your losses, it grew into a $3,500 loss. So the lesson is this: If the market proves you wrong, get out of the trade. Don’t average into your losers because it could snowball into something near impossible to recover from.

[Don’t use a fixed position size, do this instead…] Most traders are fascinated with technical analysis, candlestick patterns, trading indicators, etc. When you see “something” nice, you quickly hit the buy button without giving much thought to your position size—which is a big mistake. Why? Because without proper position sizing, your wins and losses are erratic. Here’s an example: Let’s say you buy 1 standard lot of EUR/USD with a stop loss of 20 pips. How much could you lose? Well, it’s a potential loss of $200 (20 x $10/pip). Now, what if you have 100 pips stop loss? It’s a potential loss of $1000 (100 x $10/pip). You might be thinking: “My stop loss in terms of pips will be the same.” “This way, I can keep my losses constant on each trade.” That is possible but… What if you trade a different timeframe where it doesn’t make sense to use the same number of pips as your stop loss? (E.g. A 20 pips stop loss might work on the 5-minutes timeframe but not on the daily.) Or what if you trade a different currency pair with a different pip value? Do you see my point? So the lesson is this… The size of your losses should be the same for each trade. But your position size should be adjusted according to the size of your stop loss. A tighter stop loss allows you to increase your position size. A wider stop loss requires a smaller position size.
