You stare at the chart too long to the extent that silence feels uncomfortable.
So you start drawing lines.
Convincing yourself something has to happen.
“This looks close enough,” you say.
I’ve been there.
Forcing trades because waiting felt like wasting time.
I wanted action, but the market wanted patience.
The result was always the same. Late entries. Tight stops. Quick losses.
And that quiet frustration afterward.
Here’s the hard truth.
➛ No setup is better than a forced one.
➛ If you have to convince yourself, it’s not real.
➛ The market doesn’t owe you trades.
➛ Your job is to wait, not create.
Ask yourself.
Is this a setup or boredom in disguise?
