🛡️ You Opened a Trade — Now Protect It Like a Professional
Entering a trade is the easiest part.
Managing it is what separates traders from gamblers.
• Stop-loss comes first. Always.
No SL means unlimited risk. Place it below support or the recent swing—where your idea is invalidated.
• Check the reason behind the move.
A clean chart means nothing if news flips the market. Fundamentals can override technicals fast.
• Plan profits before emotions arrive.
Secure partial gains at TP1. Let TP2 ride if momentum stays strong. Decisions made early save money later.
• Move SL to breakeven when price moves in your favor.
At that point, your capital is protected. Stress goes down. Discipline goes up.
• Follow the plan, no matter what.
No revenge trades. No moving stops. No greed adjustments. Losses are part of the system.
Trading isn’t about being right every time.
It’s about risk control, consistency, and patience.
Protect one trade properly, and you’re already ahead of most. 🛡️
