Hey, traders! The market is bullish now and let's talk about how we can improve our results in all cycles of the market. There are several factors that can enhance your trading results: your system, psychology, risk management, hobbies, the right environment, and healthy habits. Working on these variables will undoubtedly bring you closer to your trading goals.
However, there's another factor that is often overlooked, and that's income unrelated to trading. It's essential to discuss this.
Relying solely on trading income, especially in the early stages, can create unnecessary pressure. Diversifying your income sources will allow you to approach the trading process more consciously.
I know many profitable traders, and almost all of them have additional income sources, such as paid communities, educational endeavors, businesses, real estate, or traditional jobs. No one relies solely on trading.
Why does this happen?
First and foremost, your knowledge about the market doesn't always translate into profits. You might make a quick buck by speculating on an illiquid asset that suddenly skyrockets, but this approach won't bring consistent profits in the long term.
Lucky traders often give back their gains and end up with nothing. Smarter traders invest in assets that generate income regardless of market conditions and their psychological state.
Diverse income sources can provide a sense of security and confidence in everyday life and when making trading decisions.
Having a bad trading month? No problem. Losses can be covered by income from other areas. Your basic needs can be met with steady income, while trading serves its primary purpose — long-term capital growth.
Since I diversified my income sources (one of them being this channel), my trading results have significantly improved. The pressure has eased, and the quality of my trades has increased.
Now, I'm not tied to my charts for 40-hour workweeks. I trade when I want to. Trading has transformed from a pursuit of profit to a search for opportunities. I only enter a trade when I see a genuine opportunity.
Take today as a starting point. You probably have some source of income that covers your basic needs. I understand it might not be the most glamorous income, and you might want to improve your quality of life right now.
Don't rush to give it up in favor of trading, even if you're confident in your trading skills. Take your time and establish an additional source of stable income. Look at trading as a springboard to help you reach your goals faster. Don't put all your capital in one place. Think about the future and develop multiple income streams. Increase your profits and enhance your emotional well-being.
You can have a deep understanding of trading concepts, but when your life depends entirely on trading, it can be challenging to apply that knowledge due to immense pressure.
80% of your success in trading comes from psychology and risk management. You need a strong mental state to open quality positions without overwhelming yourself.
The best way to achieve this state is to make trading "one of" your income sources, not your "only" income source.
