Sitting on my hands when I have no clarity on the directional bias for the day used to be the hardest thing for me to do as a beginner until I understood that trading in itself is a lazy man's game.
More detail about this is dropping soon!
When the market closes, everything suddenly makes sense.
You see the highs, the lows, the liquidity sweep, the reversal, the whole move, and youโre like, โYeah, this was obvious.โ
But then the market opens again and somehow, youโre confused.
Why?
Because when the market is closed, you already know what happened.
When the market is open, you don't.
Youโre dealing with uncertainty. Price can go up, down, take liquidity, reverse, continue, or do absolutely nothing.
Thatโs the part people don't talk about.
Trading isn't hard because the charts are impossible to understand after the move.
Trading is hard because you have to make decisions before you know the outcome.
So the goal isn't to predict everything.
Have a bias.
Know your level.
Know what you want price to do before you enter.
Know what proves your idea wrong.
Then execute.
Because if you need the market to move first before you understand what to do, then you're always going to understand the market after the opportunity has passed.

Trading is simple yet so complicated.
It is simple when you accept that you don't have to know and control everything.
By knowing, I mean getting comfortable with not knowing where the price is going next and just accepting to wait for more Information. This will mean missing
There are three different ways to judge a good trading mentor or teacher;
1. Their model? By model, I mean a verified lens through which they view the market.
2. Is this model consistent? Look at their narrative and ask yourself: has this narrative been consistent over time.
@dv78375@ICTtraderNP@_amtrades Well, just study the concept and execute what you've studied.
I explained this in my YouTube video.
If you need more clarity on this, then send me a DM
3. Is this model repeatable? One of the qualities of a great model is being easy to replicate. Nothing complicated, nothing that shifts with the goal post, something easy, consistent, and repeatable.
When you have these questions answered, go ahead and commit to your knowledge.
