In the coming days, I'm breaking down 5 essential principles for trading success. These aren't abstract concepts—they're psychology-grounded rules I've validated through years of live market experience. Real stakes. Real conditions. The difference between theory and what actually moves markets comes down to how our brains are wired. Strip away the noise and motivational language. What matters is understanding the mechanics: how emotion shapes decisions, where cognitive biases hide in your analysis, why discipline beats timing every single time. These principles work because they're rooted in how traders actually think and react under pressure.
