Defining Your Trader Profile: The First Step to Creating a Trading Plan

The first and most crucial step in developing your trading plan is an honest and realistic self-assessment. Since you will be the one using this plan, it must align with your personality, habits, and financial situation.

📌 Who are you as a trader?
Understanding your trader profile will help you find the most suitable strategy. If your trading method does not match your temperament, lifestyle, and risk tolerance, your chances of success will be significantly reduced.

🚨 A common mistake many beginners make is rushing to adopt ready-made strategies without considering whether they truly fit their personality. Only after losing time and money do they realize how important personal compatibility is.

💡 Before clicking "Buy" or "Sell," ask yourself a few essential questions. This will help you create a trading plan that actually works. Write down your answers to ensure you stay committed to your approach in the future.
