Essential Trading Tips

Never Invest Everything

Risk Management

Keep 20-30% of your wealth liquid for opportunities and emergencies.

Track Your Trades

Analytics

Keep records of buy/sell prices, timing, and profits to improve your strategy.

Start Small

Beginner Tip

Practice with small amounts until you understand market patterns.

Be Patient

Mindset

Good trading opportunities come to those who wait for the right moment.

Advanced Trading Techniques

Price Anchoring

Set competitive prices by anchoring to market leaders. Price 5-10% below the lowest competitor for quick sales, or match the market leader for maximum profit.

Volume Analysis

High trading volume indicates strong market interest. Low volume might mean opportunity or lack of demand - analyze carefully before making large trades.

Psychological Pricing

Prices ending in 9 (like 999, 4999) often sell better than round numbers. Use this psychological trick to improve your sales conversion rate.
