Stop Blaming the Market – Fix This First!

Hello Traders!
Let’s be honest — we’ve all blamed the market after a losing trade.
But here’s the truth: The market is never wrong, our approach is. Before pointing fingers at volatility, news, or “manipulation,” take a step back and ask yourself: Am I following a system, or just gambling with hope?
Let’s explore what you really need to fix first — and how doing so can turn your trading around!

What to Fix Before Blaming the Market

• Lack of a Trading Plan:
  No entry/exit rules, no position sizing, no risk management = pure chaos. The market didn’t cause your loss—your lack of structure did.
  
  
• Emotional Trading:
  Taking revenge trades, FOMO entries, or holding losses in hope? That’s not the market—it’s your emotions taking over.
  
  
• Overtrading Without Edge:
  If you're trading every candle that moves without a tested edge, you're not trading — you're guessing.
  
  
• Ignoring Risk Management:
  Are you risking more than 1-2% per trade? Then one bad day can wipe out weeks of profits.
  
  
• No Journaling or Self-Review:
  If you’re not reviewing your past trades, you’ll keep repeating the same mistakes—blaming the market each time.
  
  

Rahul’s Tip
The market owes you nothing. It rewards discipline, patience, and consistency—not complaints. Fix your mindset and process, and the results will follow.

Conclusion
Before blaming the market again, look within.
Master yourself, and you’ll master the charts. It’s not about fighting the market—it’s about flowing with it, with a solid plan in hand.
