I've learned to walk into the market without the pressure to execute every trade. There's no rush chasing the next gain—that mindset only clouds judgment. Instead, I focus on one thing: finding my actual edge. When you strip away the noise and fantasy, the real setups show themselves naturally. You stop forcing trades that aren't there. This discipline calms the mind and keeps you locked on what you're genuinely good at. The opportunity will come, but only if you're patient enough to wait. No false hope, just honest execution.

To be honest, I've heard this theory too many times. The real question is, how many people can actually stick with it? I am a negative example myself. Every time I say I will wait for the optimal setup, but as soon as I see others making money, I can't sit still.

Honestly, I've heard this theory so many times, but very few people can actually implement it. I'm the kind of person who, once I get in, just wants to go all in, haha.

NGL, this is the real talk. I used to be that impatient type, chasing hot trends every day and ending up with heavy losses.

Honestly, this is the true essence of trading, it's not about having to act every day.

Wait, really? Can you make money just by not buying the dip and not chasing highs?

ngl this hits different... actually, let me break this down through a basic game theory lens. what you're describing is essentially optimizing for positive expected value over time, ceteris paribus. the key variable here is patience—it's literally your edge against retail fomo traders

Honestly, this is what I've been learning all along. Stay patient and calm, and wait for the right opportunity to come.

Really, this is how I trade now. No bottom fishing, no chasing highs, just sticking to my own skills. The market tempts you every day to go all in, but those with a clear mind know that's a trap.

Basically, it's just about not being greedy. I truly understand this.
