أهم الأفكار

  • **The Three M's:** Success stands on three legs—Mind (psychology), Method (analysis), and Money (risk management). Remove any one leg and the stool collapses.
  • **The Amateur vs. Professional Focus:** Amateurs obsess over Method (the Holy Grail indicator). Professionals focus on Mind and Money—discipline and survival come first.
  • **Certainty vs. Probability:** The market doesn't guarantee outcomes. You can execute perfectly and still lose. Your job is to play a probability game with detachment, not predict the future.

  • **Triple Screen Trading System:** Filter trades through 3 timeframes. Screen 1 (Weekly) = Trend direction. Screen 2 (Daily) = Pullback entry. Screen 3 = Trailing stop order for precise timing.
