Rules of Successful trader

Money management is the hands down most important thing you can have, so study it alot.
Do the 20/80 rule 20% of your trading should be MM and 80% should be the trading system, 20% of it represents 80% of your profits. What will give you the most profit is your MM not the system, MOST of them can and will be profitable at some point, and later on you will monstly trade based on instinct, because the "system" will be printed on your mind...

So, beginners should focus on losing less. Profit will come eventually, dont force it to come prematurely.
Focus on what is important not on what can change. Your system can and probably WILL change, your management cannot.
You wont profit 100% of your account in 1 day, I was so thrilled when I traded for 33,7% of my account in one day (my highest profit in 24 hours in 11 years of trading!)
Backtest the shit out of the graphs, if you backtest you will gain knowledge (even today I take 3 hours every weekend to backtest 2 years to see if I can find something new!).
Choose the time for trading, don't just randomly sit in the chair and start trading, take it as a profession, be professional. Don't stay the whole day in front of the computer, take care of yourself and your family, be consistent with trading as well as your family.
KNOW YOUR SIZE, dont trade with lot 0.10 or 1.00 if you only traded in demo acc, you need to learn to control your emotions, otherwise you WILL have a heartattack.
Last one should be: DONT BE A LAZY F*CK, study and spend time if you really want to make to the top 5% that are successful!

This couldn't be stressed enough. Don't trade at random, you may as well be gambling, form a trading plan!

That's true though, even i follow that rule first. when ever you trade without that its like entering into a battle without weapons.

I learned that the hard way.

The thing about successful trading is simple for me but maintaining the process is hard. Normally, new traders think that they need to know about how to enter or how long they needed to be in a trade. But the fact is, this entry and exit rules can be taught with few step by step process, but the psychology and how to manage the trade after you take it, is the part if you can master, you'll become a successful trader.

Presently, while some of this needs to do with the brokers tricks and misdirecting training that they put out there for their own particular benefit, it additionally needs to do with the traders also. Most traders lose, on the grounds that they don't regard forex trading as a venture. Without a doubt, the forex advertise moves regularly and it is open 24 hours per day, 5 days seven days. Be that as it may, this doesn't legitimize not regarding forex trading as a speculation.

I think there is more to entering and exiting than a few simple lessons, but I do agree about the psychology part.

What other rules do you follow?

Rule 1: Never expect anything definite from the market. It gives wins and losses but these are at random events. Like tossing a coin. Because of that I cut short my losses through risk management and let my winners run by taking partial profits whenever a trade is in my favor.

Rule 2: Every trade is unique. If your last trade was a loss doesn't mean the next trade will be a loser. The outcomes are random and unique. Because of this when I decide to place a trade, I make sure it has a high probability of success, place it, and walk away from the terminal. The market will decide the outcome. Predicting the outcome will only lead to emotional ruin.

Rule 3: Before opening my terminal to scan the charts for an opportunity I ask myself this question: are you emotional fit to do any trading now? Ate you distracted? If my answers are not positive there will be no trading for that moment until another time.

Rule 4: This cannot be overemphasized. Risk management! Risk management! I don't set my position size based on my expectations but based on my risk management strategy. I don't tighten my stops because I want a good RR but based on my rules for entry. I understand market structure before deciding on a trade.

I hope I helped someone be a good trader.
