Before the market opens, you've got to nail down your game plan. Scout the key price levels where you'll make your move—support, resistance, whatever matters for your thesis. Get crystal clear on what needs to happen for you to actually pull the trigger.

Here's the thing: if those conditions don't materialize, you walk. Seriously. That's it.

Don't let boredom push you into bad entries. Don't force trades just to feel like you're doing something. That's how capital gets bled away.

When you sit on the sidelines waiting? Your money stays ready for the opportunities that actually matter. Tomorrow will bring fresh setups. Today might not. And that's perfectly fine.
