Cut off the world during your trading! No social media. No TV. No distractions. Just focus on the job at hand.
In fewer than 7 words, what advice do you have for traders in their 20s?
Uncomfortable truth: Trading will force you to face parts of yourself you never wanted to.
A large part of trading is being able to overcome drawdowns And for most when they hit a series of losses they tend to get frustrated and overly anxious which leads to: - Giving up - Switching strategies - Disregarding risk and blowing up The key in these situations is to…

@TraderDivergent The greatness comes from the ability to tune out the noise and focus on the plan
@TraderDivergent Yup - even then it is a challenge. But without that 100% focus, it is very unlikely you will become a consistently profitable trader.
@TraderDivergent "Diversify, educate, and be patient always."
@TraderDivergent If you're going to blow up an account the time to do it is when you live with your mom
@TraderDivergent Solid stuff, Alan. Trading really doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need to know what to focus on and what to avoid. For me this was the key turning point.
@TraderDivergent @AS_BANKS_FX I completely agree. I used to check social media in the boring moments while waiting for my setups or answering subscriber questions. This was an an unnecessary distraction that meant I could make more errors. Thank goodness I stopped!
@TraderDivergent Agree and disagree on that ... @X could be very useful during market hours for immediate news and other things
@TraderDivergent Backtest more instead of trade more!
@TraderDivergent easy to make money, harder to keep. Be consistent with compounding.
@TraderDivergent Stay curious, learn constantly, embrace risks wisely.
@TraderDivergent Keep grinding. You have all time
@TraderDivergent Understand the power of compounding.

6) Accepting Losses: I struggled with this like many but realizing losses are part of the trading game and accepting this reality enables you to handle losing trades without letting emotions take over. Always be prepared for the possibility of losses before entering a trade.
4) Simplicity Wins: I've found that a straightforward trading plan based on rule-based and mechanical systems outperforms complex strategies relying on multiple indicators. Keep it simple and focus on what works.
3) Cut Losses Quickly: When a trade goes south, I stick to my plan and cut losses promptly at my predetermined level. Holding onto losing positions or trying to average down can lead to bigger losses and will only damage your confidence.
