FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is discipline more important than strategy?+

A mediocre strategy executed with perfect discipline beats a great strategy executed inconsistently. The reason: compound learning. A disciplined trader gets consistent data from their trades, identifies what works, and improves. An undisciplined trader gets random results and cannot learn from them.

What are the top 3 discipline habits for traders?+

(1) Written trading plan — know your rules before entering any trade. (2) Trade journaling — record every trade with reason, emotions, and outcome. (3) Stop-loss discipline — always place a stop before entry, no exceptions. These three alone separate profitable traders from losing ones.

I scored low — does that mean I should stop trading?+

Not stop — but pause and fix. A low score means your current trading is likely costing you more than it should, not because of bad strategy, but because of execution inconsistencies. Start with paper trading until you can follow your rules consistently. Then go live with very small size.
