Trading Orientation

Trading is not just “pressing buy and sell,”
but understanding an entire world beneath the surface.

Orientation is the first step to viewing the trading world with clarity.

When traders first start, they often share the same questions:

  • What should I learn first?
  • How do I read charts properly?
  • Why do losses keep repeating?
  • What trading style fits me?
  • Why do I need a system?
  • How do I survive losing streaks?

Trading may look like numbers and charts,
but underneath lies a web of probability, psychology, structure, risk, and consistency.

This Orientation is designed to introduce the six fundamental pillars
that help you understand the trading world as a whole.


📘 The 6 Chapters of Orientation

0.1 Trading as a Game of Probability

A shift from prediction to probability.
Learn about expected value and the inevitability of losing streaks.

0.2 Trader Psychology & Emotions

Fear, impatience, overconfidence, and greed—
how emotions quietly erode trading decisions.

0.3 Why We Read Charts

Charts are not about predicting the future,
but understanding current market structure.

0.4 Exploring Trading Styles

Swing, day, scalping, position.
Your personality and time resources determine your ideal style.

0.5 Building Your Trading System

Entries, exits, stop-loss, position sizing, journaling.
A system creates consistency.

0.6 Trader Survival Strategies

How to withstand losing streaks, emotional volatility,
and protect your account—the core of longevity.


🧭 Why Orientation Matters

Many beginners believe learning strategies is enough.
In reality, the opposite is true.

Strategies can change anytime.
But the trader using the strategy must remain stable.

Orientation builds the foundation that supports any future strategy:

  • basic probability understanding
  • emotional awareness
  • structural interpretation
  • personal style alignment
  • rule-based systems
  • survival and risk control

With this foundation,
your growth accelerates dramatically.
