Here’s something most traders learn the hard way…
It’s not a lack of knowledge that leads to failure—it’s impatience.
They know the strategy.
They understand the risk.
They’ve even done the backtesting.
But when the market opens, that patience goes out the window.
They jump into setups too early…
Chase trades that don’t meet their criteria…
Or force something that isn’t really there—just to feel like they’re “doing something.”
Sometimes in trading, less is more.
You don’t have to take every single setup.
With the kind of market action we’ve seen recently, impatience becomes even more dangerous.
This is when selectivity matters most.
You don’t need more trades—you need better trades.
A high-probability setup.
Clear entry and exit rules.
A well-defined trade plan and the discipline to wait for all of it to line up before pulling the trigger.
It’s not easy—but it’s what separates the pros from the amateurs.
So if the market feels like it’s trying to lure you into impulsive trades… pause.
Wait.
And remember: in trading, doing nothing is sometimes the most powerful move you can make.
Here’s to trading with patience and precision,
