[My trading journey]

Here’s my learning curve as a trader:

I started with indicators, then price action trading.

And for a few years, I thought that’s all I needed because after all, the price is king and that’s all I needed to be a profitable trader.

But that hurts my growth because I tuned everything else out (and limited myself only to price action trading).

When I realized my folly, I quickly went back to being a student of the markets.

So I asked myself:

“What are other winning traders doing to profit from the markets?”

That’s when I got exposed to trend following, systems trading, mean reversion trading, etc.

The outcome?

Today, I trade multiple trading strategies across different markets—which results in a smoother equity curve of my portfolio.

So the lesson is this:

You might be a profitable trader but, it doesn’t mean your learning curve is over because you’re always a student of the market.
