Not every day demands a trade. This is something many overlook when the market keeps moving. The smartest approach? Wait for the market to retest key levels—that's when real opportunities emerge. Stay alert, stay ready. The difference between reactive traders and successful ones is patience. Keep yourself engaged, monitor the setup, but don't force entries. When the right moment arrives, you'll be positioned to capitalize on it.

Not forcing orders is the real start of making money, this statement is so true.

Exactly right, doing nothing is also a trading strategy. Many people can't sit still and want to trade every day, but as a result, they end up losing even faster. I wait for a pullback to a key level before taking action, and the success rate is indeed much higher.

Really, I laugh when I see people still trading frequently. I've said this more than once... Waiting for the retest is the way to go. How many people just can't control their fingers right now🤦

This is the truth: most people just can't sit still and have to trade every day, ending up losing everything in the end.

Honestly, the hardest part is really holding on without trading. When I see others repeatedly making money through trading every day, I really want to follow suit, but I often end up losing when I do.

Really, most people can't hold on at all; they feel uncomfortable if they don't trade for a day.

Really, sometimes not trading can earn more than trading every day. I've realized this a long time ago.

Wait, this is the essence of trading. Too many people are messing around with the market every day, only to lose everything in one move. I prefer this approach: identify key levels and then patiently wait for a retracement. Opportunities will come knocking on their own.
