When I first started day trading, I was glued to the charts, making trades all day, every day. It seemed logical—more trades should mean more profits, right?
Wrong. This mindset was actually losing me money.
The real breakthrough happened when I changed my approach to how often I should trade. Instead of chasing the market, I learned to let the market come to me.
You don’t need to trade constantly. Just 2-3 high-quality trades per week can be more than enough. It’s about quality over quantity.
The key is to wait for price to reach your predetermined levels—those are the moments when real opportunities appear.
Many traders make the mistake of forcing trades in between key levels. Why? Because they’re addicted to the action, not because the market is giving a clear signal. This is a huge difference that separates pros from amateurs.
Trading isn’t about being busy—it’s about being patient and strategic.
So before entering your next trade, ask yourself: 👉 "Am I trading from a key level, or am I just feeding my trading addiction?"
Your wallet will thank you. Less is truly more in trading.
