putting on a trade is not difficult
anyone can open the charts, place a trade without intent, and close it prematurely
it takes no skill
waiting patiently for a setup
following a defined plan
managing the trade properly
doing it all again consistently
that is difficult
repeatedly applying a system,
without your emotions getting in the way
not just for one day
not just when you feel like it
not just when the charts are clear
every single time you enter the market, without excuse
that is what makes you a trader
you make these decisions because they are necessary, not because they are easy
