The three pillars of successful stock trading are patience, diversification, and maintaining composure. The secret to succeeding in the stock market is patience. Prior to acting, you should be aware of what you're doing. If you don't, then you'll be throwing money away by buying and selling stocks at the wrong time.

The second rule is diversification: If one stock doesn't work out, another will. In fact, if you don't have any assets at all, a good place to start is by investing in bonds or CDs (Certificates of Deposit) with your broker. These investments offer higher returns than most stocks do over long periods of time but they pay interest that accrues just like a savings account does.

The third rule is keeping calm when things go wrong. That's easier said than done because emotions can get in the way of making good decisions when things aren't going well! But if we can keep our cool, there's no telling how much better our investments will perform.

Good content! In addition, There are other rules to making money off of stock trading, which are:

1. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If you invest all your money in one stock, that means that if the company goes down, you're out of luck.

2. Don't invest too much money into a single stock. It's best to invest a small amount at first and then increase it as time goes on if things go well.

3. Always diversify. This means that you should never just keep your money in one type of investment or security, but spread your investments around to different types of stocks and other securities like bonds and mutual funds so that you're not putting all your eggs in one basket when something goes wrong with one particular investment piece (such as if it gets hit by bad news).

You need to understand how companies work, what their finances look like, and what their sales numbers are. You don't want to invest in a company that is going bankrupt or has bad financials. The third rule is patience! Stocks can take years before they start paying off for you, so don't expect instant results when you first start investing in them.

I agree with you, in trading stocks we need patience, diversification, and middle or not careless, but we also have to use idle money, and if you are short on capital it is better not to trade or avoid debt. You also have to be able to choose the right stock index, if you are new to the world of stocks, it is better to choose the type of stock that has high liquidity. You also need to choose a security/broker that offers lower transaction fees so that you will get maximum profit. You also need to choose a short-term or long-term stock trading period, if in the short term the risk of loss and profit will be greater than the long-term trading period.
