A very thin line separates victory from defeat” – Ricardo Teixeira (Karate World Champion in 1993)

Last year, we had the opportunity to meet the World Champion in Karate Shukokai, Ricardo Teixeira.

In an amazingly inspiring speech of his outstanding achievement, Ricardo repeatedly shared his #1 secret:

Mastering the fundamentals.

Before the World Championship, he spent months and months practicing the very core fundamental moves, spending weeks just a practising a punch, and he did this until he became so great at it that nobody else could beat him.

Nothing else.

Just mastering the pure fundamentals.

Practicing again and again, until he became the ultimate winner, the best in the World.

Yes, there are some fancy, complicated moves in Karate, which we often see on the TV screens, but it’s mastery of the fundamentals that can be the real difference between victory and defeat.

This made us think about the parallels with trading and it’s not very different when it comes to mastering trading, to becoming really successful.

Many traders, especially at the very beginning of their journey, mistakenly think that profitable trading is about all the latest, fanciest tools: The latest software, the latest AI, the latest indicator.

But years spent with the markets and going through many different trading challenges taught us one universal truth:

It’s not the latest that’s the greatest.

It’s the OLDEST.

The most essential – the core fundamentals.

Trading too has its fundamental rules that need to be mastered and deeply understood before any serious level of expertise can be reached.
