Analysis isn’t your problem.

An insightful read!

For alot of traders especially Newbies, analysis is not the major problem or Not knowing what to trade.

The real issue is knowing when to leave a trade.

Can you relate with the above?

Let's continue reading then. 👇

You lose more when you don’t know when to:

– Cut a losing trade.

– Take profit when the setup has played out.

If you must stay consistently profitable, mastering and timing your exit is very important.

Have that Problem of not knowing when exit?

Alright let's fix it.

1. Set Realistic Targets.

Before entering any trade, define:

-Your Take-Profit (TP)

-Your Stop-Loss (SL)

Don’t aim for 50% when the chart only shows 5–10% potential.

Let analysis, not emotions be the primary basis for your target.

2. Know Your Risk Tolerance

This is about how much you're willing and able to lose per trade.

Professionally, you are suppose to risk just 1–2% of your capital per trade.

If $1,000 is your trading capital, you shouldn't risk more than $10–$20 per trade.

That's how you stay in the game.

3. Apply Risk Management

Knowing your risk tolerance is good, but applying it is what protects your capital.

-Use Stop-Loss orders.

-Stick to proper position sizing.

-Use favorable Risk-Reward ratios. For example risking $1 to get $3

-Diversify, don’t go all-in on one trade.

4. Learn to Adjust When the Trend Shifts.

The market doesn’t care about your bias. Be ready to:

– Close early when momentum fades. 

When the hype is gone, get out.

– Flip your bias when the trend reverses. 

Don't remain Bullish when trend has reversed to bearish.

– Re-evaluate and close where necessary instead of praying. Prayers like "Oh God let it just come back to my entry"

Success in trading isn’t just about good entriesn or good analysis.

It's about: 

–Knowing when to let go

– Protecting your capital

– Being flexible, not emotional

If you learn this early, you’ll survive long enough in the market.
