1. Don't go into a battle with no weapons. - What is this? In battle, a soldier needs weapons in order to win. Same with trading, in order to become a successful one, you need to gain knowledge and information that will help you in trading like for example. How to use indicators, How to use technical analysis. How to read candlesticks and so many more. Don't trade with no knowledge because your money will be gone like "POOF".
2. Trade emotionless. - This is very hard to do especially if you are a very emotional people. When I am starting in trading, I tend to put some emotions in my trading and what is the end - result? LOSS. WHY? Because when I saw my bought coin crashing down, I sold all of it at a loss because I don't want to lose my funds. Don't trade with emotions because emotions will eat you and your money. Trade calmly and no emotions involved.
3. Be patient - When traders ask for an advice, this is always the first thing they are saying but accept it that some traders tend to become impatient and the end, it will be a loss for them. If your bought coin crashed below your buying price, leave the exchange. Don't see it for hours or even days. Sometimes, we need to hold and be patient for us to gain profits. When I am trading and I see my coin dropped below my buying price, I'm reading here in the forum and I don't see the exchange very often. It will be stressful if you do that.
4. Don't risk any amount that you can't afford to lose. - You need to set a specific amount for you in trading that when that money is lost, you will not feel anything bad. In my first trading, I invested 100$ in trading. Lucky I am not at a loss right now but if if if my 100$ will be gone in trading, I will not feel anything because I can afford that value to lose. In order to do this you need some discipline too.
5. Don't trade by using signals from the pump and dump groups - I inserted this because I know that P & D groups especially on telegrams are SHIT.. PURE BULLSHIT. If you are a newbie, its better to learn how to read charts rather than hoping for the group to share some signals for you. Before they share a signal, they bought it already and they need people to pump it. When the time comes that their target price reached, they will dump into your face very hard that when you are about to sell it, you are now at a loss so don't trade using signals with them.
Hope this helps
