Beginner Trader's Success Checklist

1. Build a Trading Plan

- Define your trading style: (Day trading, Swing, Position, Scalping?)

- Choose 1-2 markets or instruments to focus on (e.g., stocks, forex, crypto).

- Select a simple strategy (e.g., moving average cross, breakout, support/resistance).

- Set clear entry/exit rules.

- Set a profit target and stop-loss per trade.

2. Risk Management

- Risk no more than 1-2% of your capital per trade.

- Use a stop-loss on every trade.

- Set a maximum daily/weekly loss limit to avoid emotional decisions.

- Know your reward-to-risk ratio (aim for at least 2:1 or better).

3. Trade Execution & Psychology

- Only take trades that meet your plan criteria.

- Accept that losing trades are part of the game.

- Avoid revenge trading or overtrading.

- Practice patience and discipline.

4. Journaling & Review

- Record every trade with details: entry, exit, stop-loss, reason for trade.

- Note your emotions and thought process during the trade.

- Review your trades weekly to spot patterns and mistakes.

- Adjust your strategy based on data, not emotion.

5. Education & Practice

- Read books and follow experienced traders (with proven track records).

- Backtest your strategy on historical data.
