What You Think Is True… Might Be Holding You Back
When you’re new to trading, you’re bombarded with “advice” — from YouTube, social media, or other traders who might not actually be profitable.
Some of this sounds smart. Some of it feels reassuring. But a lot of it is flat-out wrong — and it can quietly sabotage your progress before you’ve even started.
Let’s unpack the most common beginner myths — and show you what actually works.
❌ Myth 1: “High Win Rate = Success”
New traders chase strategies that win 80–90% of the time. But what they don’t realise is:
If your wins are small and your losses are huge… that win rate means nothing.
✅ Truth: You can be profitable with a 40% win rate — if your R:R is solid. Focus on edge and consistency, not being “right” all the time.
❌ Myth 2: “Indicators Will Tell Me What to Do”
Many beginners load up 5–10 indicators thinking more = better.
But they often contradict each other — or lag behind price — leading to confusion and hesitation.
✅ Truth: Indicators are tools. They should support a thesis — not create one. Price + context > clutter.
❌ Myth 3: “Cut Losers Quickly, Let Winners Run”
While this sounds good, it ignores real-world price behaviour.
Cutting every loser “quickly” can lead to death by a thousand paper cuts. Letting winners “run forever” can turn into reversals and regret.
✅ Truth: Have a defined SL and TP based on structure and trade type. Don’t react emotionally — plan it before you click.
❌ Myth 4: “Just Be Patient — The Setup Will Come”
This advice is well-intended… but dangerous if taken literally.
Waiting forever without a process leads to hesitation, missed opportunities, or worse — FOMO trades.
✅ Truth: Patience with a filter is wise. You still need a framework to act decisively when valid setups do appear.
❌ Myth 5: “I Just Need to Find the Right Strategy”
This might be the most common trap.
Many traders change strategies every week looking for the “perfect one” — but never master anything.
✅ Truth: It’s not the strategy. It’s your ability to apply one framework with discipline over time.
