Early on, I thought trading meant catching every move.
Breakout forming? I’d jump in.
Dip bouncing? I’m there.
But overtrading cost me more than it made me.
One fake breakout was all it took—
No confirmation, got trapped, took the L.
That moment flipped the switch.
The best traders aren’t the busiest.
They’re the most selective.
Now I trade different:
✅ I wait for confirmation
✅ I follow my setup, not emotions
✅ I let the market come to me
FOMO fades when you trust your edge.
Patience prints. Discipline protects it.
How do you stay selective in chaos?
