## Mastery Beyond the Entry: The Art of Trade Management
Entering a trade is the easy part; exiting with profit is where true skill lies. Most beginners enter the market fueled by the "Easy Money" myth, expecting prices to move in a straight line. However, the market breathes in zig-zags, and this volatility often triggers a psychological battle between greed and fear.
### The Psychological Battleground
Trading isn't just about charts; it's about **Trading Psychology**. Beginners often mistake a healthy "pullback" for a "reversal," leading to impulsive exits or holding onto winners until they turn into losers. Success depends on conquering your own emotions rather than trying to conquer the market.
### Professional Management Strategies
To survive long-term, you must prioritize **Trade Management** over the initial entry:
* **Pre-defined Exit:** Write down your target and stop-loss before clicking buy.
* **Risk Mitigation:** Move your stop-loss to breakeven only when the plan dictates.
* **Discipline:** Understand that every red candle isn't a threat; it’s the market’s natural rhythm.
True pros trade less but manage better. Master yourself, and you will master the market.
