You can crash down when you are fast without discipline just like in the case of the rabbit in the fable of Aesop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trading is rather a turtle game, not fast, not methodical and not deliberate. And the turtle always wins. Let\u2019s explore why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udc22 Why You Need the Turtle Mindset in Trading<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Speed Kills,&nbsp; Slow Progress Builds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Fast trades often mean reckless trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Chasing pumps, overtrading, and gambling on hype? That\u2019s rabbit behavior \u2014 and it\u2019s dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Turtles move slowly, but one step is considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;It is possible to have a compounded interest of 2 percent in a week and on one year the account would be doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The question to ask is, Will I have Instant money or long-term success?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Patience: The Turtle\u2019s Greatest Weapon<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Rabbits jump at every opportunity. Turtles wait for the best setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Patience in trading means waiting to be confirmed, waiting to receive good risk-reward and not pushing up trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Majority of blown accounts are inflicted not because of bad trades- but impatient trades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The real traders do not trade on timing of the market they believe in the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;There is no point in doing more things to make money in the trade markets rather than doing it in a better way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Risk Management: The Turtle\u2019s Shell \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 A turtle\u2019s shell protects it from harm. In trading, your risk management does the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 In its absence, it only takes a single bad move to remove weeks or months of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38You should always apply stop-losses, your position size should be small and do not risk more than 1-2% of capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Rabbits risk big and fall fast. Turtles defend their foundation and last long in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Consistency Beats Velocity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd38 The bunny can run quickly &#8212;- but it cannot keep the speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd38 Most traders fail to come out of this game at the end of their lives and blow up accounts hunting high returns only to land at zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd38 Turtles, however, build slowly and consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd38Consistency implies adherence to a strategy, recording all the trade, and muscle memory to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Continuous Learning Is the Turtle\u2019s Path<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Fast traders think they\u2019ve \u201cfigured it out.\u201d Slow traders know they\u2019re always learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Every trade, win or lose, is a lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38Turtles study charts, backtest, study data and journal their move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Rabbits skip the homework. Turtles study the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your system.\u201d \u2014 James Clear<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Emotional Control Separates Pros from Amateurs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Rabbits become emotional- they chase and fear pumps and react to not only dips but other oppressive things as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Turtles move with calm, following structure and logic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Emotional discipline in trading is everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 When you\u2019re calm, you stick to your strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 When you panic, you make costly mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83c\udfaf Some Advices<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;It is not the speed of trading, but the survival and strategy in trading<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Rabbits chase. Turtles plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38Guard your capital as a turtle guards his shell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Let your edge play out over time<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38Don t smell the market by seeking speed, instead strive to&nbsp; <strong>outlast it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trading rewards those who play the long game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Therefore instead of making a mad race, you being a rabbit, you just walk around together with a turtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Be patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Be disciplined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\ud83d\udd38 Be consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is what it takes to win, create and remain in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast traders make noise.
