Patience is the hardest part of trading. Stop gluing yourself to the charts every minute and zoom out to get the real picture. Short-term noise will mess with your head—what matters is the bigger context. Wait for a solid close that actually confirms something's happening. Don't overthink every wiggle. Once you see a genuine trend shift and get that confirmation, the direction becomes obvious. Then you know where to position yourself. The trick is doing nothing until that signal is crystal clear.
