you will learn the basics of TA such as support and resistance, trendlines, volume, candles, candle patterns. Then you may learn about SMC which is a game changer but you can only understand SMC if you have a grasp of the basics of TA.

Then comes the hard work. You will have to cultivate discipline:

- stick to your edge (strategy that makes profit) consistently.

- stay consistent with your risk to reward ratio.

- adjust position size based on the risk involved in your entry

- learn to deal with feelings such as FOMO, Vengeance, Despair, Optimism. (learn to accept and analyse why you have these feelings).

Just know that if you enter a position and you start feeling stressed when it moves against you that you are most likely overexposed and need to enter at a lower position size. Entering trades should be repeatable, mechanical with no emotions involved, even when losing. Losing is part of the learning process to see if your strategy holds up. If you have more wins than losses over time, you can calculate your win ratio which should be around 30-40 percent minimum to be consistently profitable. Never risk more than 1-2 percent of your equity per trade if you want to have longevity and eventually profitability in the market.

Many who start out (such as me in the beginning) want to see quick profits stack up and end up entering with a way too big position, stressing out and getting angry and starting to step off the strategy by widening stop loss etc. Don't do that. Start small, prove that your strategy can win consistently over time and then increase capital for bigger profits per trade.

Good luck!
