The core variables of trading are only three: direction, position, and position size.
If the direction is correct — small losses, small gains;
If the direction + position are correct — half a foot into financial freedom;
If the direction + position + position size are all accurate, there’s a chance to make it onto the leaderboard.
"Seeing the right direction" is just the starting point (fundamentals), the real gap is whether you can accurately find the position and dare to size your position accordingly.
If you need to prioritize: position > position size > direction.
