Stubbornness is expensive in trading.
Many traders lock into a bias and try to defend it when the market changes. They add analysis, ignore invalidation, and wait for price to “come back.”
Elite traders remain flexible.
They adapt when structure breaks.
They step aside when confirmation disappears.
They change direction without emotion.
Flexibility is not weakness.
It is responsiveness to evidence.
Professional traders do not marry opinions.
They follow behavior.
The market is dynamic.
Your mindset must be the same.
That ability to adjust quickly and calmly is what protects consistency over time.
