Most retail traders don't lose because they can't read charts.

They lose because of three fixable mistakes:

1. They trade without a defined exit

Every trade needs a stop loss AND a take profit before you enter. Not after. Before. The moment you're in a trade emotionally, your judgment is compromised. Decide cold, execute cold.

2. They risk too much per trade

The math is brutal: if you risk 10% per trade, 3 losing trades in a row puts you down 27%. Risk 1-2% per trade and a losing streak is a minor setback, not an account wipe.

3. They trade too many instruments

Watching 40 tickers means you understand none of them. Pick 5-8 names, learn their behavior, understand how they move. Specialization is where edge comes from.

Most professional traders I know are profitable in just 2-3 setups. That's it. They wait, they strike, they move on.

The edge isn't in finding more trades — it's in executing the right ones flawlessly.
