📉 Myth No. 28: Patience Means Doing Nothing Forever ❌
Many traders believe:
“Patience means just waiting and doing nothing.”
“If there’s no trade, the market is dead.”
“Entering early is a sign of a smart trader.”
“If you miss a move, jump into the very next candle.”
❌ Reality:
Patience does not mean inaction.
It means taking the right action at the right time.
Professional traders often spend hours — sometimes even days — simply observing the market.
They don’t treat every move as a trade.
They wait only for high-probability setups.
True patience means:
✔ Waiting for clear market structure
✔ Waiting for confirmation
✔ Waiting for a favorable risk–reward ratio
✔ Waiting for full alignment with your rules
The result of impatience:
❌ Over-trading
❌ Emotional entries
❌ FOMO-based trades
❌ Unnecessary losses
The market always offers opportunities,
but not every opportunity is meant for you.
✔ Patience doesn’t slow you down
✔ Patience doesn’t delay profits
✔ It protects you from bad trades
Consistency comes to traders
who don’t chase the market,
but allow the market to come to their rules.
