Why I Started This Trading Blog

 

Hi, and welcome to The Trading Way — a blog I created not because I’m a trading expert, but because I’m a learner who wants to grow, stay disciplined, and maybe inspire someone along the way.

A Humble Beginning

I started trading a few months ago with very little — a small capital, a secondhand laptop, and a burning curiosity. Like many new traders, I jumped into the market, hoping to turn $30 into something more.

At first, it was exciting. I made some profit. I felt smart. But not long after, I made some bad decisions… and lost it all. Why? Emotions. Overconfidence. Impatience.

That’s when I realized: trading is more about mindset than just charts and strategies.

The Purpose of This Blog

This blog is not here to sell you signals, strategies, or magic indicators.
It’s simply a journal of my trading journey — including the lessons I learn, mistakes I make, strategies I test, and how I deal with the ups and downs of the market.

By writing things down, I want to:

  • Stay accountable to myself

  • Reflect on every trade (both wins and losses)

  • Share insights with fellow traders

  • And most importantly… become a better trader, one trade at a time

What to Expect

Here on The Trading Way, I’ll be posting:

  • My personal trading journal entries

  • Simple scalping strategies, mostly on XAUUSD (Gold)

  • Lessons from trading psychology

  • Reflections, tools I use, and maybe a few rants 😅

Final Words

I’m not here to teach. I’m here to grow.
And if you’re also walking this trading path — with small capital, big dreams, and a willingness to learn — then maybe this blog can become a place where we learn together.

Thanks for reading — let’s trade the right way.

My Trading Journey: From $30 and Emotions to Discipline

Image
 When I started trading, I had no big capital, no formal training, and no mentor. Just $30, a phone, and a dream. I thought trading was all about catching the right moment, following signals, and hitting take profit (TP). But soon I realized, it's way more than that. It's a mental game — and I wasn’t ready for it. The First Profits — and the Trap I still remember my first winning trades. I scalped gold (XAUUSD) with 0.01 lots and made $4, sometimes $6 in just minutes. The thrill was real. My confidence skyrocketed. My ego? Even higher. But then came the losses. After hitting my daily target, I kept entering the market out of greed. I overtraded. I ignored my own rules. And just like that, the market took back everything it had given me — and more. Lessons I Learned (the Hard Way) Here are some painful but important truths I learned: Discipline > Strategy Even the best strategy fails without discipline. Most of my losses came not from bad analysis, but from ...

Trading Psychology: The Quiet Killer Most New Traders Ignore

Image
  When most new traders start, they focus on finding the best strategy : Indicators, signals, entry techniques, candlestick patterns, you name it. But after a few weeks (or blown accounts), the truth hits hard: The biggest challenge in trading isn’t the market — it’s your own mind. Welcome to the world of trading psychology — the quiet killer of many accounts. 😨 The Psychological Traps I Fell Into Here are the mental traps that nearly destroyed my small trading journey: 1. Revenge Trading One loss? No problem. Two losses? Still okay. Three? I’d double lot size and “take it back.” Result: deeper loss, emotional spiral. 2. Overconfidence After Winning After a big TP, I felt invincible. I’d re-enter with no setup, no stop loss. That “victory high” made me blind — and broke. 3. Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) I’d see a candle flying and jump in, afraid I was missing a move. Turns out, I was entering at the end , not the beginning. 4. Self-Doubt After Losses One red day made me ques...

Scalping Gold with RSI: My Real Setup and Mistakes

Image
  Scalping XAUUSD (Gold) is exciting, fast, and — if done wrong — unforgiving. When I started, I tried everything: MACD, moving averages, trendlines. But eventually, I simplified my system to something I could understand and apply quickly: RSI + Candlestick Patterns + Support/Resistance . Here’s my real setup, how I use it, and the mistakes I’ve made (and sometimes still make). 🔧 My Basic Scalping Setup I trade mostly on the M5 and M15 timeframe , using this simple combo: RSI (14) : Overbought (above 70), Oversold (below 30) Support/Resistance zones : drawn from H1 or H4 Candlestick confirmations : pin bar, engulfing, or strong rejection wicks Optional filter : RSI divergence or trendline break ✅ My Scalping Entry Criteria (Real Example) Let’s say I’m looking to scalp a buy: Price hits a strong support zone on H1 On M5, RSI is below 30 A bullish pin bar forms with long wick rejection I enter Buy with SL just below the wick, and TP based on next resistanc...
