I kept hearing the word 'evergreen' in my head while listening to a track from this popular artist. I won’t drop names since he’s still around, but it’s one of those songs I can see myself enjoying when I’m older. Definitely a tune that takes me back to good memories, and it stands out among others. So, that 'evergreen' idea got me thinking about the link between music and trading. Instead of finding a direct connection, I ended up spotting a difference while still grasping what 'evergreen' really represents. In music, 'evergreen' means a song that stays relevant or maintains its popularity over time. In trading, it can refer to strategies or principles that never go out of style. We’re talking about concepts that always hold up no matter how the market changes, what tech gets introduced, or what era we’re in. Sure, trading platforms and algorithms evolve, but human psychology and how markets operate remain pretty constant. With that in mind, I thought I’d share some topics that are always going to be relevant in trading and investment. Newbies and struggling traders should definitely pay attention to these. They include: A. The timeless principles and psychology of trading, which covers risk management, trading psychology, compounding, market cycles, and margin of safety. B. The foundational trading strategies and more.

Well these might be your own analysis of topics to look at in trading but it is relative because different people/traders have what they look out for in trading based on their own biase. Thus, there are so many useful topics online regards to how a trader can be better in his skill and strategy. For me, I have identified that traders struggle with some of these factors below: Greed: This is a major back bone breaker for traders. If you get greedy, you may likely regret it. Like you are using leverage that puts your account at risk. Fear: Not able to take the needed decision when you see a profitable trading decision. You could take such decision when it is late and regret it. For example, you have a good order to be taken for buy early and because of fear, you enter late when buyers are already going off the market. So what do you think will happen?  Emotion: Not having the right confidence to take up trade or exit which is a combination of greed and fear . Trend: Very important because at all times it is better to be on the right trend. In futures market, they say both buyers and sellers are profitable but at what rate and risk. So to be on the right trend, gives you more confidence to successful trade.
