Impatience is expensive.

Many traders enter too early, exit too late, or overtrade because they don’t want to wait. Elite traders allow patience to act as a filter.

They wait for:

Clean structure

Confirmed direction

Defined risk

Patience removes low-quality trades before money is ever at risk.

Professional trading is not about speed.

It is about letting patience protect capital.

Elite traders understand that waiting is not lost time —

it is active risk management.
