I create a plan that is rock solid on theory and ticks all the boxes that I want to take care off before taking a trade.
And when the trades show up I skip some of those checklists to make my decision biased as per my bias and totally ignore my plan before jumping in on the trade.
Is it only me?
Everyone says "only take A+ setups. but I have never seen nobody talk about what it actually feels like to sit in front of a screen for two hours and not trade because nothing qualifies.
It does not feel disciplined but rather it feels like I am missing something. Like the setup is there and I am just not seeing it.
So I lower the criteria slightly first then a little more and suddenly I am in a trade I never planned to take.
Doing nothing is genuinely one of the hardest skills in trading and it is never taught.
How do you actually manage the slow sessions where nothing is setting up?
