The same can be applied to trading. 

 When all you have is the “OPPORTUNITY” to trade, sometimes traders  find themselves clicking into trades just to be involved with the markets.

 Do you find yourself making acceptances for your trades that are not in  your plan? What causes this? Is it a need for action? Is it a need to be  right? Is it a fear of missed opportunity? One of the reasons many traders  struggle – over trading or forcing the trade.

 The most common misconception among new traders is that they have to  constantly be in the market.

 Remember it’s not the quantity of trades you take, but the quality of your  trades you take. 

 By being in the market all the time the trader does not give him or herself a  chance to pause and will eventually lose because of the unfavorable market  conditions.

 Don’t force trades just because you feel you need to be in the market.

 Trading out of boredom is the worst reason to be in the market. You have  to be PATIENT!

 Patience is one of the keys to becoming successful trader.

 Patience will keep you from overtrading.

 Patience will give you enough time to observe and look for a potential  setup for the next trade.

 Trading is all about probabilities. You must make many trades to get the  law of averages to work in your favor. As long as the setups are solid, and  you’re using sound money management and risk control, you’ll make  enough trades to come out ahead.

 There is truth in the adage, “Plan the Trade, Trade the Plan.”
