If you’re prone to impatience or find yourself making emotionally driven, impulsive decisions, it may be wise to step away from active trading and keep your capital on the sidelines for a period of time.

Instead, focus on developing your skills and understanding of the markets. Study concepts such as Auction Market Theory (AMT), execution, risk management, market structure, and trading psychology.
Use this time to build a stronger foundation and become a more disciplined, process-driven trader. When market conditions become more favourable and opportunities are clearer, you’ll be in a much better position to capitalise on them.
By preserving your capital now and investing in your education, you’re giving yourself the best chance of long-term success.
If you’re uncomfortable having no market exposure at all, consider allocating a smaller portion of your capital perhaps 30% for trading while keeping 70% in reserve. This allows you to stay engaged with the market while protecting the majority of your capital during challenging conditions.
