This often-overlooked aspect is the foundation. Most struggling profit traders are not actually because their strategies are bad. The problem is weak self-control.

Over trading is its main enemy. The more frequently you execute trades, the more emotional noise enters your decision-making. Fear, greed, and impulsiveness begin to take over market logic. Each additional transaction doesn't increase your chances—it adds variables that are hard to predict.

Consistently profitable traders are actually not very active. They wait for the right setup, not chase every move. Self-discipline to hold or even stay out of the market is a skill that is rarely appreciated but a real game-changer.
