YOU STILL STRUGGLING BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT SELECTIVE ENOUGH! YOU PICK EVERY SHIT MARKET THROW AT YOU
Most traders don’t fail because they “don’t know enough.” They fail because they trade too much.
Let’s break it down.
Trading Too Often = Trading Emotionally
When someone keeps taking every setup, it usually means:
- They fear missing out (FOMO)
- They feel the need to be constantly active
- They crave dopamine from clicking Buy/Sell
- They don’t have a clear definition of A+ setup
This leads to mixing good setups with trash setups, so even when they catch big wins, the small unnecessary losses cancel everything.
Selective Traders Understand This:
Quality > Quantity
They know:
- One good trade can pay for the whole week
- The market gives maybe 1–2 A+ setups per pair per week
- Cash is also a position (No trade = protection)
- Patience = Edge
The Real Edge in Trading Is NOT Strategy…
It’s discipline to WAIT for high probability conditions.
Anyone can learn support/resistance, candlesticks, patterns, etc.
But only a small % have the emotional maturity to sit on their hands until everything aligns.
| Style | Win Rate | Avg RR | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade every movement | 40-50% | 1:1 | Break-even or slow bleed |
| Trade only A+ setups | 50-60% | 1:3 to 1:5 | Compounding growth |
Example:
- 1 trade per week, RR 1:4
- Win 2, lose 2
Still +4R profit
Versus:
- 20 random trades, RR 1:1
- Win 10, lose 10
0R, waste time, drain energy
The Truth:
Overtrading is not a trading problem—it’s a psychological problem.
It comes from:
- Lack of confidence in edge
- Addiction to action
- Fear of waiting
- No clear plan or criteria
My Honest Opinion:
If someone is struggling because of trading too much…
The fix is NOT a new indicator, NOT a new TECHNIQUE, NOT even more pairs.
But the fix is:
- Define clearly what a “good setup” looks like
- Only trade when ALL criteria align (no negotiation)
- Track trades in journal to see quality vs outcome
- Train patience like a muscle
- Accept that “Doing nothing” is also trading
When a trader truly understands this…
Slow becomes fast
Less becomes more
And that’s when growth finally happens.
