How to improve patience while waiting for trades?
Improving patience in trading is really about solving these issues: 'not knowing what to wait for,' 'fear of missing out,' and 'itching to take action.'
1. Write down 'what you're waiting for' on paper
Don’t just keep it in your head—write down your trading signals clearly. For example, 'Buy only when the coin price breaks through resistance and retests without falling below,' or 'Exit when profit hits $1,000 or loss reaches $500.' Stick to these criteria and remind yourself, 'If the conditions aren’t met, don’t act.' Knowing what to wait for will help you stay calm.
2. Remind yourself 'There are always more opportunities'
A lot of people lose patience because they’re afraid 'If I miss this chance, there won’t be another.' But the market is like a grocery store—it’s open every day. If you don’t find the right trade today, you can come back tomorrow. No need to obsess over one single opportunity. For example, in crypto trading, if you miss the signal for one coin, just move on to the next.
3. Use 'past losses' to remind yourself
Keep a notebook and jot down lessons from previous impulsive trades. For instance, 'Last time I didn’t wait for the signal and bought early, ended up losing $500.' Next time you feel tempted to act prematurely, flip through your notes and remind yourself, 'If I rush again, I’ll lose money again.' This works better than any abstract advice.
4. Don’t aim to 'catch every single move'
No one can capture every small rise and dip in the market. Just like you don’t need to buy every item at the grocery store, in trading, focus only on the opportunities you understand. For example, wait for the signals you’ve written down and tested—ignore all the random noise and fluctuations. When you stop chasing minor moves, patience will come naturally.
