When Not to Trade – The Golden Rule

In trading, knowing when to stay out is as important as knowing when to enter.

Don’t trade when

You’re emotional (angry, greedy, or chasing losses)

The market is ranging with no clear trend

There's high-impact news incoming (FOMC, CPI, etc.)

You haven’t defined your risk or strategy

You’re trading just out of boredom

✅ No trade is better than a bad trade.
