This week, I learned a powerful lesson from skipping a trade. A coin I usually follow broke above a resistance level, and I was tempted to enter immediately. But something didn’t feel right. The volume was low, and there was no clear confirmation candle. I decided to wait. Sure enough, the price reversed sharply, trapping the breakout traders. I avoided a loss just by staying patient. This trade I didn’t take reminded me of an important truth: good traders aren’t defined by how many trades they take but by how many bad ones they avoid. Sitting out is a decision too. You’re not missing out — you’re preserving capital. Discipline is a superpower in trading, and this week, I felt proud of using it.
