The Importance of Patience in Trading

Last week, I entered a position on SOL at $170, anticipating a breakout above $180. As the price approached $183, I grew impatient and exited the trade, securing a modest profit.

However, had I held my position a bit longer, I could have capitalized on the full upward movement. This experience reinforced a crucial lesson: patience is key in trading.

Key takeaways:

• Stick to Your Plan: Trust your initial analysis and avoid making impulsive decisions.

• Manage Emotions: Emotional trading can lead to premature exits and missed opportunities.

• Continuous Learning: Every trade, win or lose, offers a lesson to refine your strategy.
