80% Wait, 20% Trade – The Golden Rule of Professional Trading

When I first began trading, I was always eager to jump on every price movement, afraid of missing out on potential gains. Over time, though, I learned that the true skill in trading lies not in making more trades, but in patiently waiting for the right opportunities.

Why Wait 80% of the Time?

✅ Observe the market, don't force trades

✅ Filter out market noise and focus on high-quality setups

✅ Protect your capital from unnecessary risks

Why Trade Only 20% of the Time?

✅ Trade only when a strong setup is confirmed

✅ Take fewer, but higher-probability trades

✅ Carefully analyze risk/reward before executing

The Biggest Mistake:

New traders often fall into the trap of trading constantly, while experienced professionals know that success comes from patience and taking only the best opportunities at the right time.
