This week, I'm going to go over one of, you know, I think it's the most important topic, which I'm still struggling, you know, till this day, which is patience and, you know, like formal or like discipline. And those are, you know, the two that I'm kind of facing it daily. And I'm trying to improve myself. It's been a year now, year and a half. And, you know, I'm still struggling every day, trying to, you know, be patient and, you know, discipline and waiting for my setup to come. I mean, it's easier said than done. And so that's why I want to kind of go in depth, you know, today, I wrote everything here for you guys. And so how to improve, you know, that patient and discipline. I mean, that's it, you know, I put out some key points here, which I think, you know, it's been helping me. So I just hope that this video could be, you know, helpful to you guys as well. So first of all, you need to define what is patience. I mean, what really is patience, right? Patience. It's like the actions of doing nothing. It's like you're sitting there whole day and basically waiting for your setup, you know, to come. So yeah, the actions of doing nothing. I mean, you just sit there waiting for a play or like waiting for the right setup to show you like waiting for stocks to come to you. It's like fishing, you know, basically, but that requires some skill as well. Like you just sit there and, you know, basically doing nothing. That's quite hard sometimes when you see, you know, people posting PNL, posting trades, you know, see all those money flowing in and out. And, you know, that's I think one of the most difficult thing to do by sitting there in front of your screens and just doing nothing. And so what are the ways to kind of improve that is that you have to train yourself. It's like just athlete, you know, training. It's like if you want to do something like good, you kind of have to train yourself, right? So what I've been doing is that I try to kind of, you know, shut down my platform or like before I was done by like 30 minutes and I try to, you know, sit there for the whole day, but not trading. It's like I had to remind myself every like, I don't know, 15 minutes, 30 minutes. No, you cannot trade. You cannot do that. You have to sit there, you know, because you need screen time, right? And that was I've been doing, you know, for like, I think for a few months and just trying to kind of improve myself. It's like sitting there and telling yourself that you can do it, right? You can, you know, manage your FOMO or like you can be disciplined if you want, I mean, if you really want to, if you really put your mind to it. So that's what I was trying to do. The next one is decision making. I mean, and so what makes you pull the trigger? You know, you have your playbook, you have your products. What makes me pull the trigger is when all those checklists confirm, right? So everything is in here, like all my, the data that I'm, I think it's good or like I track my data back and it has been working for me. And so once all the checklists or criteria, you know, fit into that, you know, playbook on my edge and that's where I'm going to, you know, pull the trigger based on the price action as well. And, you know, I'm not going to go over like in details, you know, about trades today because, you know, this is just the general information. But it's like, let's say you want to short first resistance, right? And, you know, you're going to say, you know, if stocks goes to this level, I'm going to short it, right? Let's say, you know, if it at 10 bucks now and your line is at 12. So you said to yourself, it's like, all right, if it hits 12, I'm going to trade it. Yeah, that's how we normally do that, right? But I would like to suggest another, you know, way of thinking it is that the areas of interest, it's like I was, you know, practicing that, you know, in a way that, you know, if stocks pops up, I mean, let's say stocks pop pops up now at eight. And I was, you know, talking to myself that, all right, if stocks is moving now from like eight to like 10, I'm not going to get interested, you know, unless it pops way above 10. So now the areas of interest, you know, for me, it's above 10. And stock is currently moving at eight, you know, so whenever stock is between the range eight to 10, I'm not going to, you know, bother. I'm not going to even, you know, look at that anymore. There's a different way how to approach it, how to gather all those information to make the right decision. And that's, I think it's pretty important and, you know, what makes you pull the trigger. And for me pulling your trigger, I need to have all those information that's in my book. And yes, guys. So I think that's it today for today. I hope you enjoyed the video and we'll look forward to the next one. All right, later guys. Peace. I see already general trading questions. Please text Tosh using the number here.
