It is not easy to make money and start losing the money all because you need extra income from trading. The fact is that most traders are losing. If you do not want to lose in trading in 2025, you need to have these four trading strategic plans.
1. Do not be in haste. That is the reason people think of day trading and lose
2. Having it in mind that it is better to earn little than to lose big all because you want to earn big
3. Average instead of martingale. An example of this is if you have $1000 for trading, you can begin with $200 and always be satisfied with the profit. But it you are losing, you can add $200 to it and so on to help you increase the chance of making money as it will make the market price get near to the price you bought the coin.
4. Be careful of altcoins. Although I trade altcoins but I use very lower amount of money for it. They are very dangerous.
There are others like knowing how to read charts, read and interpret news into your analyses and speculations, know about indicators. But which are the basics and I do not need to mention them as I believe you know them already.
If you place 25 orders in a day and end up losing 5 you are in profit, losing is part of the deal but with risk management and proper strategy development youe losses wouldn't be more than your profit. The second point you made is very important, using a small lot size wouldn't give you much in a day but you shouldn't focus on earning too big, earning 10 to 20 percent of capital everyday isn't bad way to get started. But you must understand that in order to get to this level you must first of all give in enough time to make deseraeu and seek knowledge.
