The Secrets Behind Winning The Market



The real secret of online trading that many people don't know?
It’s not just about finding the "perfect strategy" or chasing signals—it’s about risk management, psychology, and consistency.



Here’s what most traders overlook:



1. Risk Management Is King

I usually risk about 1-3% per trade. Blow-ups happen when you overleverage, as I learnt it the hardest way from my experience.

Use stop losses like your life depends on it.

Position sizing is everything. A good setup means nothing if your size is reckless.




2. Trading Psychology > Strategy

Emotional control separates the winners from the losers. Do you know?

I use to be this emotional while trading, over the years, until lately, I don't even care about losing any longer because I risk what I can afford to lose and let my winning trades run.

Overtrading, revenge trading, and FOMO? That’s what kills most accounts.

The best traders have discipline—they stick to their plan no matter what. Learn to stick to your plan or adjust when the need arises.




3. Consistency Beats Quick Profits

Often as I trade, I realize that, there’s no "holy grail" strategy—just a consistent execution, patience and discipline.

Small, steady wins compound over time.

Trading isn’t about hitting home runs; it’s about staying in the game long enough to let probability play out.




4. Smart Money vs. Dumb Money

The market is manipulated—accept it. Institutions use liquidity hunts and fake breakouts.

Based on several researches, about 90-95% of retail traders often lose because they follow hype and emotion rather than data and structures.

If you learn to think like smart money (banks, hedge funds), you flip the game in your favor.



5. Adapt or Die

Over the years, I have learnt that the market conditions change. What worked last month might not work today.

I backtest and adjust my trading strategy instead of blindly following outdated methods.

I have refused to give up because I believe that I am always a student of the game and learning new skills day-in and day-out means more success.




Most traders fail because they chase signals, ignore risk, and let emotions run wild. The ones who treat it like a business, control risk, and stick to a plan? They win.

POSITIVE MIND You see, the course of life is no competition, but if there could be only one, I think, it is to be against our own yesterday. Some of us humans are born with possession of different destinies. In this way, it should not be a competition between you and your neighbor or a friend or a brother because we all have different destinations to arrive with in this life we live. Just like as we exit this world at different times or born at different days, so all so, our destinies differ. The person you might be competing with may have different destiny that is far beyond or bellow your aspirations. You and your yesterday to be greatest oppositions. You think your yesterday was better than your today, I think, it's a bad feeling, no matter how comfortable it might seem to be with you today. No man literally wants to experience a better yesterday instead of a better today. Each time I face any challenge, my conclusion is always at the high positive end. I have always believed in...

 Knowledge I Paid To Acquire 14 Years Ago, I Now Give Out For Free You know one thing, for sure, there is a saying that, no knowledge is a waste, is practically real. And if you're just about to start reading any content from this blog, no knowledge is a waste either. I am very sure and convinced, without any doubt that, there is a purpose why everything in life happens just the way it is. But on all things or phenomena, there is always a time that happens to them all. And Time is basically the same, day in and day out, it is just things in it that makes it look different. It is human beings that change, time does not change. If you vividly share my inspirations here, you would realize that the same day that was, yesterday, is still that which is happened today, except that you just slept and woke up. There is a sunset and sunrise day in and day out, but only the things around the sun change. You just get older, but time remains the same and this time is as older as the ancient day...
