@TheH0n3stTrader Trash rule tbh, more often that not it touches the b/e and then goes to target, you lose more by using this rule

@RangeMaster_ traders forget their job is to not take trades as much as their job is to take trades

[Thomas Anderson @li9uidityyy]

You look at the chart and say the market is unclear. Price isn’t doing what you want. No structure. Bad period.

Then somehow you’re already in a trade.

Why?

If you already think the conditions are bad and you still open a position, you’re arguing with your own read. What are you trying to prove? That you can make money in any conditions? Or are you just looking for a faster way to give the market your money?

Most of trading influencers talk about when to trade and where to enter. Almost nobody talks about the more important part: when not to trade at all.

A good trader doesn’t need a setup every day. The job is to risk money only when the market matches your edge.

No conditions, no trade. Don’t understand the market, don’t trade. Setup doesn’t fit your system, close the chart.

The market doesn’t pay you for how many times you try to guess. It pays for the quality of the decisions.

Sometimes the best trade of the day, the week, or the month is not pressing the button.

@DaceusVision no, you were still wrong

there was no “huge gap”

and it certainly wasn’t to the downside

and the “huge pump” was just a 0.2% candle

@LEGACE_FX I am literally a different person from when I started

@Bagchaser3310 Of course, all the unprofitable ones 😂

[Thomas Anderson @li9uidityyy]

99% of your problems as a trader disappear once you have a data-backed system.

When you’ve watched your edge play out over a large enough sample, you stop hesitating. You stop skipping valid setups. You stop going on tilt after two losses in a row, because the data already showed you that the edge comes back.

You don’t need more motivation. You need a sample size big enough that the outcome stops feeling personal.

(The harder part isn’t finding an edge. Most people with basic strategy knowledge can do that. The hard part is trusting it long enough for the data to prove it.)

Starting October +1R. Yesterday was a no-trade day.
Today I had a loss and a win.

Q4 has been my best quarter in the data I have, so I’m interested to see how this one plays out. If it isn’t, nothing changes. Execute the edge, day in, day out.

A lot of traders only look at today. I don’t care much about today, the week, or even the month. I track progress by quarter and by year.
