The Best Trade Is Sometimes No Trade at All
New traders often feel they must be in the market all the time.
But professional traders know: patience is also a position.
Doing nothing is better than entering a bad trade.
Here’s what smart traders practice:
1. No clear setup? Stay out.
2. Market looks confusing? Wait.
3. Missed a move? Don’t chase it.
4. No discipline today? Step aside.
5. Flat days are part of trading – protect energy and capital.
Remember:
Being flat is not a weakness — it’s a strategy.
Sometimes the smartest move is to simply wait for the right opportunity.
Patience is not wasted time; it’s preparation for the winning trade.
