This past week, I made a trade that reminded me why sticking to your plan is so important. I had been watching ETH closely as it approached a key resistance level. Multiple indicators were signaling overbought conditions, and I anticipated a pullback. Instead of jumping in impulsively, I waited for confirmation. Once ETH showed a clear rejection candle on the 4-hour chart, I entered a short with a defined stop-loss just above the wick. Over the next two days, price declined steadily. I took partial profits at support and adjusted my stop-loss to secure the trade. The trade played out exactly as planned. What stood out wasn’t the profit but the discipline. A year ago, I would’ve entered too early or moved my stop-loss emotionally. But this time, I trusted the system and followed through. That’s what trading is all about: strategy, patience, and execution. The market rewards discipline more than intuition. Every decision should serve the plan, not the ego.
