When I first stepped into the stock market as a Bronze Rookie, I was driven by excitement and fear in equal measure. I chased momentum, followed online tips from friends and even no-friends. Impulsive-guided by greed when prices rose, and panic when they fell and sold. Losses became my teachers. I learned that the market doesn’t reward excitement. The first shift came when I realized that being right mattered less than having a process. I built plans and accepted that small losses were in the game. I told myself I did not have to follow the herd. Gradually, I replaced impulse with logic and probabilities. Good risk management is the key. Today, as a Gold Rational trader, I approach the market like a chess player-calm, strategic, and patient. Cut loss when necessary, stay on profits if outlook is promising. The journey from rookie to rational isn’t about finding a secret formula, it’s transforming your mindset. It isn’t about beating the market; it’s about mastering yourself.
