Quality over quantity

Beginners often overtrade because activity feels productive. Professional discretionary traders often take few, high-quality setups aligned with their plan.

  • Define max trades per day/week in your plan.
  • “No setup” days are valid — cash is a position.
  • More screen time ≠ more edge.
Fewer, selective days outperform random activity

Track trades per week in your journal. If frequency rises after losses, that is a psychology flag.
