Trading Ain’t a Race—It’s a Game of Timing
Let me be real with you for a second—most of the money I didn’t lose in this game came from not taking a trade.
Crazy, right? But that’s the power of patience.
In a world that glorifies hustle and speed, the market punishes the impulsive. You might think you’re being active, grinding, putting in work—but if your trades are forced, emotional, or out of boredom, you’re donating money. Simple as that.
Here’s what patience gives you:
Clarity: When you wait, you see better. Patterns pop. Momentum builds. Setups align.
Discipline: Every time you hold back when it’s not your A+ setup, you’re reinforcing your edge.
Better Entries: Waiting for price to come to your zone beats chasing every candle.
Emotional Control: Patience keeps you calm. You’re not reacting—you’re responding.
Consistency: Random trades lead to random results. Patience leads to predictable profits.
Let me tell you: some of my best trading weeks only had 2 trades. That’s it. Because when you wait for your moment, you don’t need a bunch of wins—you just need a few great ones.
So if you’re feeling antsy today… do nothing. Sit back. Watch the market breathe. Let setups come to you like gravity.
That’s what pros do. And trust me, there’s power in stillness.
Practical Insight:
Set a rule this week: No trade unless it’s 10/10 confidence. If it ain’t a YES, it’s a no.
Motivation Corner:
Patience isn’t passive. It’s a skill. A weapon. A flex. Learn to wait like a lion in the grass.
🥛Don Leche’s Takeaway 🥛
Sit on your f*cking hands. The market is not going anywhere, and if you missed your move and don't have a plan to get in, then stay out. I guarantee that if you are able to do this early on, you can save yourself a lot of heart ache and money.
