Genuinely, the patience to wait for great trades isn’t easy to come by. If you crave action, you’ll find a way to justify taking almost anything.
I’d like to pretend I honed this discipline over years of work on myself… but that’s largely bs. I have patience because I don’t particularly enjoy this job and don’t wake up wanting to trade.
Each day I look at the markets and ask two questions:
“Is there anything so good I’d feel like a fucking idiot not taking it?”
“If I take this at X with a stop at Y, will I be gobsmacked if I’m stopped out?”
If yes to both, I take the trade. If not, I pass.
It’s important to me that no one takes my fucking money easily.
@_sierratrading If you're three attempts deep on the same bug, stop, because Claude is just guessing at this point. Start a fresh conversation with a clear problem statement. Create a troubleshooting manual, recording every bug you fix. It will compound over time.
@EsBoltoise I was testing a dozen economic data releases studies back to 2017, boy that took some time when I hit reload recalculate. Maybe data limiting...
