Patience separates winners from the rest in trading. Most lose not because they lack strategy, but because they chase every move, forced to exit at the worst times. The patient trader waits for setup confirmation, holds through noise, and lets winners run. That discipline—resisting the urge to act—is what compounds gains across market cycles.

Really holding onto profits; those who always cut losses when the market moves are forever the retail investors.

Really, most people just get itchy hands and want to trade whenever they see fluctuations. How can they make money doing that?

Hmm... patience, huh? I remember that my strongest skill is rushing to buy in and perfectly timing the liquidation.
Wait, could this "confirmation signal" you mentioned just be my hallucination every time I look at the candlestick charts?
Listening to this, it seems that my masterpieces over the past two years should be renamed as the "Negative Patience Compound Interest Plan."

Good grief, at the end of the day, it's just being immovable like a mountain. Most people still get itchy hands.

Really, the hardest part is holding back from acting. I've seen too many people get constantly traded into bankruptcy.
