The NO. 1 Secret Of Success In Trading

First I’ll say, there is not only one (or even a couple) methods that “work” in the market. There are many ways to skin a cat, the trick is finding a method you believe in and works for your set of beliefs. That being said, the method also needs to have an edge. But all this talk of “I let my profits run” vs “I give my losers a bit more time” or “Technical analyst guys do X which is wrong” vs “I only look at charts which is the right way” is all misguided in my opinion. Everybody evolution will be different, just b/c people do different things (even if they are the complete opposite) doesn’t mean one is wrong and one is right. There are "right" things for certain personality types and different "right" ways for others.

I will say though, you can tell the level people are at many times by how they speak. I look at longer term statistics in my trading (rolling sharpe, rolling MAR, rolling sorentino, etc). I know focusing on those, and controlling risk, will work wonders over time, assuming my methodology has an edge (which i satisfied myself that is does through long term backtesting). People that talk about how they made $100 bucks in 10 minutes shows they haven’t leveled up yet IMO.

Start a journal and post a few of those trades. Sounds like you're on a roll.

$100 and $500 is kind of chump change in the current market volatility. Really isn't much of anything to brag about. I'm thinking OP is some sort of Narcissist.
