it takes patience waiting for good setups when the market is moving slow and tight. There are times I get impatient and take crappy trades, especially after missing a good bet or two. My brain gets antsy and starts overthinking whether a trade is actually worth taking or not, in the hope that it will add pips to the bank. Too much boredom can lead to making irrational and impulsive decisions if one is not careful.

One thing that's clear is if you keep showing up every day and putting the work in, your brain automatically learns to stay a bit more patient next time, then even more the next time. As long as we keep learning from mistakes, treat them as learning experiences instead of failures, and keep trying, that will put you far ahead of most people who aren't willing to go through the hard work that is required.

it's easy when the market is moving fast and making long legs with deep reversals. What you do (or don't do) at the slower times makes a big difference too. Put the work in. Be patient and don't burn a hole in your account when there's nothing there. and don't give up.
