%%Most important rule: Learn how to lose money properly.
That means appropriate position size, always entering stop loss orders, always sticking to stop loss orders, not revenge trading, not hoping and praying.
It took me 10 years of losing money to understand how foundational this rule is. Hopefully you will learn it quicker than I did.


Have a trading plan and stick to it.As a newbie what things we should consider to become a successful trader? Plz help me to understand it.
How do you measure success in trading?
Using that metric, what percentage of your students/customers become successful?

I'm not sure if your numbers are correct but they sound almost reasonable.I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions
- Teaching: If a trader only relies on reading books, watching videos, and following other people's trades, their chance of success is almost zero.
- Mentoring: If a trader practices each teaching concept on their own using techniques like forward-testing, market replay, and live demos, or takes Smart Drills under LMS (Learning Management System), their chance of success jumps to around 20%.
- Coaching: If a trader seeks coaching to personalize their trading approach, considering factors such as psychology, lifestyle, time frames, trading setups, exit strategies, risk tolerance, trading software/data, and broker selection, their chance of success increases to approximately 50%.
- Monitoring: If a trader undergoes monitoring with a coach, which involves systematically reviewing their trading journals, evaluating progress, identifying the need for additional training and exercises, providing strategies for performance improvement, and addressing any technical or psychological uncertainties, their chance of success rises to around 80%.
