The Role Of Discipline vs Strategy:

[Mandoy]

Strategy and discipline in trading are inseparable because they are interconnected and failing to implement either will confuse your trading and potentially lead to continuous losses. Just as theory without practice is ineffective so too is strategy without discipline. Furthermore discipline without strategy can lead to directionless trading thus preventing you from achieving your goals.

If discipline in trading is not part of your strategy, then you need to clarify what discipline you are referring to. Trading strategies can vary greatly from trader to trader, but discipline is likely to be nearly the same for every trader. Therefore, I would like to know what discipline in trading is, whether it's the discipline of buying without selling or the discipline of selling after buying in the market. In my opinion, discipline is inherently part of strategy, making it difficult to separate it, as a complete strategy is when discipline is embedded within it.

I concur with the opinion that there can be no possible separation of discipline and strategy in the trading. The strategy is what to do and discipline is whether to do it or not when under pressure. In the absence of discipline, the most optimal strategy will be useless since the rules will be prevailed by emotions such as fear and greed. Meanwhile, discipline without a proper plan results in uncoordinated measures that only seem to be in control but without direction. It is not about blindly purchasing or selling but about following the set of rules repeatedly e.g. entries, exits, risk, and position sizing. This is the reason why a full trading system needs to incorporate discipline in the strategy. Trading decisions made jointly are more objective and long term.

The position of discipline in every strategy is such that cannot be overly emphasized, you trading a strategy without discipline is like try to drive without gas, it is the discipline that makes the strategy valid, i mean except for  a random trader or one who is gambling on a trading planform, there's is actually no way you will trade a strategy right without applying some sort of disciple, infact the discipline comes first and compels you to follow up with the supposed strategy you are saying you have, if you are not discipline, you cannot use a strategy, you will just be taking trades at random and depending on luck, so sticking or even using a strategy in the first place is a form of discipline then applying such strategy in a way that it is followed as proposed is another form of discipline so it comes in different forms while trading.

Each trader's trading strategy varies greatly. Similarly, the way they trade varies, with some using fast trading strategies such as scalping and others trading in a more relaxed time frame such as swing trading. And in the use of indicators, each trader has their own favorites. My friends who also trade have different strategies for analyzing the market. One of my friends who trades in the futures market uses funding rates and other indicators. For example, observing whether the funding rate is positive or negative can be an indicator of market sentiment in the futures market to see bullish or bearish trends.

In my opinion, discipline plays a role in applying all the analysis results to the trading plan, and discipline makes a trader adhere to the risk management that they have set from the beginning. This includes adhering to the take-profit and stop-loss targets that have been set. Not getting caught up in the hype and falling into FOMO, nor becoming too greedy and moving the take-profit target to a higher price in hopes of greater profits. Therefore, discipline should be an integral part of executing the trading strategy accurately and in line with the initial plan.

Strategy and discipline are inseparable, they depend on ourselves. This means that we can create strategies and if we can't then we can learn them, as well as discipline...

Discipline and strategy are mutually important, as strategy determines what you need to trade and at what levels to open and close an order, and discipline is a trader's ability to follow his own strategy flawlessly.

Strategy and discipline in trading are inseparable because they are interconnected and failing to implement either will confuse your trading and potentially lead to continuous losses. Just as theory without practice is ineffective so too is strategy without discipline. Furthermore discipline without strategy can lead to directionless trading thus preventing you from achieving your goals.

Therefore in trading the two must go hand in hand. Applying discipline in trading makes it easier to execute your strategy and achieve consistent profits. Therefore to become a successful trader you must be able to combine the two.

That's the point, they are so interconnected that when we don't do either of the 2 things, then there is a high probability that what we are doing will be a failure, and in this case a trading failure.

I will give an example, when we have a good strategy but we are not disciplined then it will fall apart. And discipline includes everything, be it about financial management, risk and so on. Sometimes we always fail in doing something not because we don't have the ability, but we don't have the discipline.

You can have everything to make money from gambling but you can look at the condition of the market right now, it's so difficult to make a trade which is why you see a lot of traders complain about the market with "there is no good trades to take" and that'd because there is none in the market. Before you see a coin with 10% increase on any time frame right now, there must be something incredible going on with such coin else you will see nothing on the market.

The only projects I expected to see huge spike are new projects entering the market. If I see any altcoin that spike in price, we can categorically assume that it is a pump and will soon dump and that has been the way many devs are using to attract investors to their token to buy, hold and trade them because they will start experiencing trap liquidty.

Altcoins can still be profitable but you have to be very careful in what altcoin to trade, or just take the safer way, do not trade when you don't see any potential coins to trade as it would only make you lose bigger and faster, than compromising your funds because of greed.

Also, trading is not a do or die, focus on hodling instead if trading at the moment isn't that reliable and profitable.

People that are buying altcoins and holding it know the kind of research they needed to do so that they can make money from the market. The price of Bitcoin will not always continue to go up so it is important to have an alternative investment in time of market uncertainty. Investing in altcoins can be disappointing for anyone whether you are good at buying profitable altcoins or you are not good at investing.

Anyone buying and holding alts should know what they signed up for. It’s not just vibes and green candles, you need serious research or the market will humble you fast. Tokenomics, use case, team, liquidity, unlocks all that matters, not just hype on X.

I saw many people who are in search of more and more and they are losing more and more because they they are not booking their profit and when you will be in search of more then you will be in loss . You should invest your time to make strategy because you will be successful trader if you will control your emotions because market is controlled by the emotions and people are losing their patience. When you are in some profit, your chance is to get profit but some people try to make more and more profit. People should stop the leverage because many people try to take more leverage and they lose their all money and they are regretting to lose to their money because there was a time when they were in profit.

It so annoying when some traders just become so greedy when there are in profits while placing an entries, they allow their emotions get hold of them. They find it difficult to take good control of their emotions and allow the emotions to take over them and end up in messing everything up just because of the greed and emotions.
 As a smart trader one should learn to control his or her emotions because aside knowledge that the other important basic that scale us through market temptation into becoming successful trader. Many traders do prioritize knowledge alone and they do not know how to control themselves or their feelings when trading, letting our emotions take control of us is a bad idea instead  let make sure we overcome our emotions.

You can be using a good strategy and not making profits any at all from trading and that is the number one problem most people that called themselves traders are passing through. Trading using g strategy needs some level of understanding on how to use the strategy to make money. There is also need to test the strategy to see if it can sustain profit over a long period of time.

This is why many people say trading is the most comprehensive activity because everything must be done simultaneously and interconnected. We can conduct in depth analysis, be disciplined, and patient, but we can still lose. Moreover if we don't do it simultaneously, losses will easily occur. However if we master them and can implement them simultaneously over the long term we will succeed in trading.

On the other hand we must also have the mindset that a trader's primary task is not analysis but rather a trader's task is to create a strategy and follow a trading plan with discipline. Analysis is indeed necessary because without it you have no basis for a trading plan. So as you said, strategy and discipline are closely related because if you don't implement either one, your trading will suffer.

Both good preparation and consistent implementation of a strategy have been critical to the prevention of emotional turmoil by experiencing wild price movements.

I agree that having the capacity to come up with a repeatable plan is better than reading market statistics. To achieve financial success, we are expected to be alert to handle each stand at once in a bid to deal with risk yet the ultimate results of a trade may not necessarily result in the profits we initially expected.

I would not buy altcoins to hold for long term. I mean if I am going to buy a coin for holding, it has to be Bitcoin. Over the years, every coin has gone up and down and so has Bitcoin, but with BTC you at least know the price won't drop sharly and yeah, the gains are slow too. But when you buy for holding, you don't want too much volatility.

ETH, SOL, BNB are among the few I can trust to hold for years without too much fear in the bear market.

By the way, coming back to the topic, I do agree that discipline matters a lot. Sometimes even less talented traders make more money and are more successful than those who are naturally good at trading because they have remained disciplined and mastered the art over the years.

The rate at which most of the altcoin projects are falling in price is confusing because they are not meant to fall sharply due to small drop in the price of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the only reliable project to invest on and that is the reason so many countries are buying Bitcoin and putting huge money on it so that they can make profits from the price changes.
