In the world of trading, emotions, impulsive decisions, and inconsistency can be your
biggest enemies. That’s where a Personal Trading Manifesto
comes in — a written
declaration of your trading beliefs, rules, and mindset. It becomes your compass,
keeping you on track even when the markets get tough.
In this blog, we'll help you create
your own trading manifesto and explain why every serious trader needs
one.
What is a Trading Manifesto?
A trading manifesto is a personal document that outlines your:
- Core trading beliefs
- Rules and strategies
- Risk management principles
- Mindset and goals
Think of it as your trading constitution — a set of non-negotiable
principles that help you trade with clarity and discipline.
