What the few who last actually do

• Risk a tiny slice per trade

  Often 1% of the account or less, so no single loss can wipe them out.

• Stick to one market and one method

  They know one setup deeply instead of chasing every tip.

• Measure everything

  Win rate, average win and loss, and fees, tracked in a spreadsheet.

• Stop trading on bad days

  A daily loss limit, and they walk away when it hits.

• Keep other income

  Many successful traders also teach, write, code or work part time.
