⚡️Hello traders, today I would like to share a lesson that I have experienced, hopefully it will help you a little on your professional trading path.⚡️
Stage 1: Unconscious mastery.
⚡️This is the first stage when you enter the market and start trading. You think this is a very good way to make money because you hear a lot about it. and also a lot of people make a lot of money from Cryto. Unfortunately, it's like the first time you try to drive a car, you think it's easy, but if you've learned and know how to drive you see how difficult the learning period is. Prices in the market go up and down. It's like sitting in front of a steering wheel for the first time, and you'll quickly realize that you don't know what to do with it. You enter the market, look at the price up and down and don't know what to do with it, you trade a lot and take on a lot of potential risks without your knowledge. When you buy, the price decreases, you are a little worried and then you exchange, when you sell, the price goes up ... And so on. You want to get out of that losing spiral by increasing your trading volume every time you feel "sure", sometimes you win and get all your losses back, but then you end up with a down line on your account summary. Stage 1 starts like this and usually lasts about a few months to a year and then you quickly move on to the second stage.
Stage 2: Not consciously proficient.
⚡️The second phase officially begins when you find that you cannot trade with such a "blank head". You realize that you are a "moose" with no knowledge or skills at all, to be able to trade well and profitably you need to learn more things. During this period you will buy systems, books, read countless documents, websites from east to west from north to south. And you begin your search for the "holy grail" for yourself. During this time you are a "system believer" you will switch from one method to another, from one system to another, monthly, weekly or even daily, you never use a method or system long enough to see if it is really profitable for you or not. Every time you are exposed to a new indicator, a new system, you always think that this time with this you will "win the market" and make a difference, and that you have found the secret, found the "holy grail".
⚡️You use all kinds of MA, Fibd, S/R, Pivots, Fractals, Divergence, DMI, ADX ... and hundreds of thousands more in the hope that our "one-of-a-kind" system will work. With that "homemade" system you think you will be a talented bottomer, you believe with the indicator with the parameters you think will find exactly where the price will reverse and so you just embrace losing orders, or even add them because you think you are right. You go to groups where traders make money day in and day out and you wonder why it didn't happen to you – you ask countless questions, many of which you find silly when you read them. And after all these questions you conclude that the guys out there are all lying — they can't make that much money because you've studied like them, done like them, or you even think you've learned a lot and done more but you don't make any money. That proves they are lying. But they're still there, their accounts keep growing, while yours is the opposite.
⚡️You're like a teenager in puberty — successful traders are always willing to give you advice but you're stubborn because you think you know the best thing to do — you don't pay attention to their words and even increase their leverage, saying it's okay to do it. After so many systems and robots you think of real-time signal services, providing "minute-by-minute tactics" from someone you believe can help you, but the results haven't changed. And so slowly you will get out of this stage, maybe to finish it you will take a lot of time, even 2 or 3 years and of course follow your accounts. However, many people give up when they do not make it past this stage.
And stage 3: The "A HA! Found it."
⚡️You can only really exit the second phase when you realize that no indicator, system or robot can help you find regular profits in the market. That what makes the difference is not in the system but in who you are. You realize that prudence can make money with just 1 simple MA and nothing else is needed IF you get a right thinking head and effective money management method. You start reading books about psychology in trading, and find out how a trader has to think when they trade. And finally the "A HA" moment comes to you. This moment creates a connection that is formed in your head. You realize that it's not just you, but anyone else who can't predict what the market will do in the next 10 seconds, let alone 20 minutes.
⚡️You begin to stick closely to the system you have chosen that suits your trading style, you begin to feel happier and more comfortable in trading, and always determine the risk threshold you can take in each trade. You start trading all the brands that the system offers, with a high probability of winning. When a trade suffers a loss, you don't become angry or scared because you know you can't predict what the market will do so it's not your fault – if a trade doesn't go well, you will get out. The next trade will have a higher probability of winning because you know that your simple system always wins. Now you realize that trading is just a game where you only have to do one thing and one thing – follow all the signals that the system provides and trade all those signals. Now you really learn about the meaning of money management, leverage, and account risk... And now you really see that the advice you received before really mattered, even though you ignored it at the time, but now you are ready. This stage ends when you truly admit that you cannot predict the market.
Stage 4: Conscious mastery.
⚡️Now you enter the trade no matter the signal the system tells you, you lose as easily as you win. You now let profitable trades for the market reach their final point and you can easily exit quickly in losing trades with minimal damage to your account. You can break even most of the time, some weeks you make a few hundred dollars and some weeks you lose a few hundred dollars and generally you don't lose money. Some days you make $50 and then lose $30, but you don't think it's a loss because you know that eventually the money will come back to you, because your system makes more money than it loses. And gradually you will find that you earn more money and earn money on a more regular basis. This phase will probably last 6 months to 2 years and you will go through stage 5.
Stage 5: Unconscious mastery.
⚡️Remember how I compared trading to driving above? Now just like driving, when you're proficient, you just sit in and trade You don't pay much attention to everything else and you've really entered the unconscious stage. Earning 100 pips 1 trade for you becomes easy and normal. You are in control of your emotions and your account grows rapidly. You start a trading room and people listen to you, they ask you a lot of questions and you also recognize yourself in those questions a while ago when you were stuck in stage 2, you know that some of them will get to where you have been, Some people will go faster than others, but there will be a lot of people who will be permanently stuck in stage 2 and they give up. Now you can hold your head high and say, "I am a currency trader."
