5 things I wish I knew when I started trading
As a beginner trader, it can be overwhelming to navigate the complex and constantly-evolving world of the financial markets. There are many things that I wish I knew when I first started trading, and I believe that these five pieces of advice could have saved me a lot of time, money, and frustration:
Win rate vs Expectancy: Which is better?
Beware of traders who say their win rate is x or y% because win rate doesn’t give a complete picture of someone’s trading performance…at all. Win rate is simply the percentage of trades that net gains. On the other hand, expectancy takes into account the average size of gains and losses giving you a better picture of a trader’s performance. In this post, we’ll explain both metrics and why they matter in understanding how good a trading strategy really is.

How to treat trading as a business
Running a trading business is definitely simpler than most businesses out there. No physical location, no employees, no inventory (besides capital) and the sky is really the limit to growth. Because it’s so easy to start, it’s also easy to get sloppy in managing it leading to an early close. The benefits of treating your trading as a business are many, most importantly, you’ll get better results. Does a CEO of a company look at only sales numbers at the end of the day to measure the success of his/her business? No, lot’s of variables are taken into account to know the health of the business and most importantly, how to increase sales. Unfortunately, most traders only care about profits and losses.
In this post, I’ll go over a couple of important aspects of a trading business so that you can treat your trading like one.
The importance of the trading simulator and how to properly transition to a real account
Among the questions I receive often, the most frequent is: “When do I know when to trade on a real account and risk real money?”
Many people don’t even want to try to practice in the simulator before starting trading a real account, thus risking money they can’t afford to lose, with the illusion that their account will grow. I call this an inconsequential attitude!
