I Let a Perfect Trade Go And Made More Money
This completely changed how I trade.
It wasn’t through finding a new setup or strategy.
I wasn't through staying up all night digging through indicators either.
It came down to one simple truth:
“Most traders lose not because of what they do... but when they do it.”
Let me explain…
You could have the perfect entry criteria, a clean chart, confirmation, but,
If your mind is not stable when you act, everything breaks.
Deep down inside, you know it too.
•You’re revenge trading after a loss.
•You’re jumping in because everyone in Discord is hyped.
•You’re hesitating even though your setup is flashing green.
Just like you, I used to think I needed to refine my edge.
But what I really needed was to refine my timing—and my emotional control.
Now…
Before I enter any trade, I do a 1-minute mental check:
→Am I rushing this?
→Am I acting off emotion?
→Am I thinking clearly, or just chasing?
Even if the setup is perfect—if I feel off even 1%...
I won’t enter the trade.
I can feel you shouting through the screen:
“What! Why would you miss a golden opportunity?”
Because trading isn’t just about strategy.
It’s about self-awareness.
And that’s the edge 90% of people miss.
All it takes is 1 minute to save yourself from hours of regret.
Next time you feel FOMO kicking in—or hesitation creeping up,
Pause.
Ask yourself: “Is this a calm decision... or a desperate one?”
You’ll be shocked at how many bad trades you avoid.
And how much more confident you start to feel.
Remember, it’s all in the mind;
Don’t let your emotions dig your grave.
Until next time,
Nicholas.
