you manage emotions, maintain discipline, and   develop effective risk management strategies—key 
elements for achieving profitability in trading.
01:23 - Please, listen and remember! No amount 
of study to find the perfect trading   strategy will benefit you if you lack 
emotional control during your trades.   If you cannot accept a losing trade and 
keep moving your stop loss, or worse,   trade without a stop loss, you are 
setting yourself up for failure. The efficiency of your strategy is directly tied 
to your risk management and emotional discipline.  
01:46 - Only when a trader understands and implements 
this can they start seeing consistent profits   and end their months in the green. Without these 
critical elements, even the best strategies will   crumble under poor execution and emotional 
decision-making. Now, let's get started! First commandment: Manage Risk Above All.
Managing risk is the foundation of every   successful trading strategy. Never 
risk more than you can afford to  
02:14 - lose—this is the golden rule that keeps 
traders in the game for the long run. Before entering any trade, always set 
a stop loss to protect yourself from   unexpected losses and a take profit 
to secure your gains. These tools are   essential for staying in control, 
no matter how the market moves. Respect your money by avoiding overexposure. 
Taking oversized risks or spreading your capital  
02:36 - too thin can lead to quick and unnecessary losses. 
Protecting your capital should always come first. And remember, chasing losses is a dangerous 
game. If a trade doesn’t work out, don’t try to   recover it by acting impulsively. Accept the loss, 
learn from it, and move forward with discipline. Managing risk isn’t just about 
avoiding failure—it’s about   setting yourself up for long-term success. Stay  
02:58 - disciplined, and you’ll build a strong 
foundation for your trading journey. Second commandment: Follow 
a Plan and Stay Disciplined.  A well-thought-out trading plan is more than 
just a guide—it’s your anchor in a sea of   market uncertainty. It should define your goals, 
strategies, and rules for every trade you make.   Once your plan is in place, commit to it fully. 
Discipline is the key here. Don’t let emotions  
03:21 - like fear or greed take over your decisions. 
Trading impulsively, without a plan, is like   driving without a destination—you’ll likely end 
up lost. Stick to your plan, even when the market   tempts you to act differently. Another major trap 
to avoid is overtrading. It’s not about how often   you trade; it’s about making smart, calculated 
decisions. Be patient, and wait for setups that   truly align with your strategy. The truth is, some 
of the most successful trading days might involve  
03:47 - not trading at all.Remember, staying disciplined 
and following your plan isn’t just about   protecting your capital—it’s about building the 
habits that lead to consistent success over time. Third commandment: Constantly Improve Your Skills.
The market is in a constant state of change,   and as traders, we must adapt and grow with 
it. To stay ahead, make it a habit to study.   Dive into trading charts, master indicators, and 
track important economic events that can move the  
04:12 - markets. Stay informed about market regulations 
and industry trends. These can impact your trading   strategies. Don’t underestimate the value of 
learning from experienced professionals—insights   from those who’ve been in the game longer 
can accelerate your growth. Be cautious.   In today’s digital age, it’s easy to be lured 
by influencers selling “miracle strategies”   or promising unrealistic results. True trading 
success doesn’t come from shortcuts or formulas—it  
04:39 - comes from dedication, study, and practice. 
Avoid these traps and focus on building your   skills through genuine learning and experience. 
The most successful traders are lifelong learners.   Constantly improving your skills isn’t just an 
advantage—it’s a necessity for long-term success. Fourth commandment: Be Realistic 
About Your Expectations. It’s easy to fall into the trap of chasing massive 
profits or believing in quick success, but that’s  
05:02 - not how trading works. The truth is, successful 
trading is all about consistency and patience.   Instead of aiming for unrealistic gains, focus on 
achieving steady, sustainable growth over time. Remember, trading isn’t a competition. Avoid 
comparing your results to other traders—it’s one   of the quickest ways to lose focus. Every trader 
has their own journey, shaped by their strategies,   experiences, and resources. What works 
for someone else may not be right for you.
05:29 - Your only benchmark should be your 
own progress. Set achievable goals,   track your performance, and celebrate 
small wins along the way. Staying   grounded and realistic is what builds 
a long-term, successful trading career. Fifth commandment: Accept 
Losses and Learn from Them.  Losses are a natural part of trading—they’re 
unavoidable. What truly defines a successful  
05:49 - trader is not avoiding losses entirely but 
learning how to handle them effectively. When a trade doesn’t go as planned, don’t 
dwell on it or let it discourage you. Instead,   treat it as an opportunity to learn. Keep 
detailed records of every trade—what worked,   what didn’t, and why. This habit allows you 
to spot patterns, refine your strategies,   and avoid repeating the 
same mistakes in the future.
06:12 - Each loss is a valuable lesson, even if it doesn’t 
feel like it in the moment. The key is to embrace   the process. Trading isn’t about being perfect; 
it’s about constant improvement. Accepting   and learning from your losses will make you a 
stronger, more disciplined trader in the long run. Sixth Commandment: Maintain Emotional Control.
Trading often feels like an emotional   rollercoaster. The highs of big wins and the 
lows of unexpected losses can easily cloud  
06:37 - your judgment. But here's the truth: letting 
your emotions dictate your decisions is a   recipe for mistakes. Stay calm and focused, 
no matter what's happening in the market. Losing streaks can be frustrating, and big wins 
can tempt you to take unnecessary risks. Don't   let fear make you hesitate or greed push you 
into reckless trades. Avoid the urge to follow   the crowd blindly. Just because everyone else 
seems to be doing something doesn't mean it's the  
06:60 - right move for you. Trust the strategy you've 
worked hard to develop and stick to your plan. Maintaining emotional control isn't easy, but 
it's one of the most important skills a trader can   develop. A clear mind leads to better decisions, 
and better decisions lead to long-term success. Seventh commandment: Take Care of 
Your Physical and Mental Performance. Trading isn’t just about analyzing charts and 
executing strategies—it’s also about being in  
07:24 - the right state of mind. To make good decisions, 
you need a clear head and sharp focus. If you’re   tired, stressed, or distracted, you’re more likely 
to make impulsive or poorly thought-out trades. Your physical and mental health are directly 
tied to your trading performance. That’s why   it’s essential to prioritize rest, 
exercise, and proper nutrition. These   aren’t just lifestyle choices—they’re part of 
preparing yourself to operate at your best.
07:48 - Balance is the key. Trading can be 
intense, so make time for activities   outside the market. Whether it’s spending 
time with family, pursuing hobbies,   or simply taking a break, these moments 
help you recharge and stay mentally sharp. Remember, a healthy trader is a focused 
trader. Taking care of yourself isn’t   just beneficial—it’s necessary for 
long-term success in the markets.
08:09 - Eighth commandment: Adapt to the Market. The markets are constantly evolving, 
driven by economic shifts, global events,   and changing trends. To succeed, you need 
to stay flexible and ready to adjust your   approach. Refine your strategies to 
fit the current market conditions,   whether it’s high volatility, low 
volume, or new trends emerging.
08:27 - Look for opportunities that align with 
the environment you’re trading in.   What worked yesterday might not work today, and 
recognizing these shifts is key to staying ahead. But here’s the important part: adapting doesn’t   mean abandoning your plan or throwing 
discipline out the window. It’s about   making calculated adjustments while 
staying true to your core principles.
08:46 - Think of it as fine-tuning your approach rather 
than starting over. Successful traders strike   the perfect balance between flexibility 
and consistency. Adapt to the market,   but always keep your long-term goals in focus. Ninth commandment is: Respect 
Ethics and Follow the Rules. Trading isn’t just about chasing 
profits—it’s about doing so with  
09:04 - integrity and responsibility. Always operate 
with transparency, both with yourself and   others. This means being honest about your 
results, your risks, and your strategies. Make it a priority to follow all market 
regulations. These rules are in place to   protect traders and ensure a fair environment. 
Ignoring them can lead to serious consequences,   not just for your trading account 
but for your reputation as well.
09:28 - Never trade with money you can’t 
afford to lose. Using essential   funds—like money meant for rent or 
bills—creates unnecessary stress and   leads to impulsive decisions. Trading should 
never jeopardize your financial stability. Remember, ethics and discipline 
are what separate professional   traders from gamblers. By respecting the 
rules and maintaining your integrity,  
09:48 - you’re not just building a trading career—you’re 
building trust in yourself and your process. Tenth commandment: Have a Long-Term Vision. Trading isn’t about quick wins or 
overnight success—it’s a marathon,   not a sprint. The most successful 
traders understand the importance of   focusing on steady, sustainable growth 
rather than chasing short-term gains.
10:05 - Be patient, especially during periods of 
low volatility when opportunities might   be harder to find. Use those quieter moments 
to refine your skills, analyze past trades,   and deepen your understanding of 
the market. Every step forward,   no matter how small, contributes 
to your long-term success. Your ultimate goal should go beyond just growing 
your trading account. Aim to continuously expand  
10:27 - your knowledge, refine your strategies, 
and strengthen your discipline. Trading is   a journey of constant improvement, and every 
lesson learned brings you closer to mastery. Keep your eyes on the bigger 
picture, and remember:   building a successful trading career takes 
time, patience, and a commitment to growth. In conclusion, trading isn’t just about 
strategies or tools—it’s about building  
10:48 - discipline, growing over time, and 
staying committed to doing things   the right way. The ten commandments we’ve 
covered are more than just guidelines;   they’re the foundation for a successful 
and sustainable trading journey. Always manage your risk, stick to your plan,   and keep learning. It’s important to 
stay realistic, turn losses into lessons,  
11:06 - and keep your emotions in check. Don’t forget 
to take care of yourself, both physically and   mentally, while staying flexible and 
adapting to the ever-changing markets. Above all, trading is a marathon, not 
a sprint. Focus on steady progress,   embrace the process, and keep your long-term 
goals in sight. When you apply these principles,   you’re not just improving your trades—you’re 
setting yourself up for lasting success.
