Have you ever noticed as your reading a trading book about psychology, your trading psychology immediately improves at the same time?
I'm not talking about having all the information absorbed and applying it correctly, I'm talking about as you are reading the book and the next day you are live trading you notice an ease on your trading mentally?
The reason this happens is simply because you are creating awareness. That is it.
Quality awareness can and will fix any of your struggles related to trading psychology.
Fix your posture, breath and don't forget to pull your eyes away from your screen here and there as you are working behind the laptop.

Traders often ask: “Should I wait for confirmation?”
Here’s my simple answer:
1. Definitions
• Confirmation: “If X happens, my idea is valid — I can enter.”
• No confirmation: “This looks good, not all criteria met, but I want to jump in early.”
2. Two options
Option #1;No confirmation:
• Lower win rate, lower confidence
• Higher potential upside
Option #2: With confirmation:
• Higher win rate, higher confidence
• Lower potential upside
3. Pick your poison
• High-winrate, lower-R systems usually have better Sharpe → you can size bigger → more profit in dollars.
Example:
• 55% winrate @ 1R = 0.1R EV (later entry, with confirmation)
• 37% winrate @ 2R = 0.11R EV (earlier entry, without confirmation)
The 2R system has higher EV in theory, but lower Sharpe → you can’t bet big → it underperforms in real life.
4. When I skip confirmation
• Only when the setup is absurdly good, so good the small drop in win rate doesn’t matter.
• Example: LTC fake-news pump → news invalidated (super high quality trade) → no confirmation needed, can just ape into a short → price bleeds back to origin
TL;DR
• Confirmation = easier, cleaner, safer.
• Can ape into a trade without confirmation only when the market spoon-feeds you an A+ setup

When I first started Trading in 2017 I could throw money at any random altcoin and just print money.
It was so easy.
Every pattern worked. Bull flags, wedges, heads n shoulders, MA crossovers etc.
It didn't matter what I was relying on or what coin I picked. Price would just keep going up.
Then in 2018 the music finally stopped and everything started collapsing. Everything that I was relying on started failing.
Pretty much all of my altcoin bags went down -90% or more. The only thing that was hanging by a thread was my spot bag of BTC. I was basically rekt.
Going through the big crash from $6k -> $3k while trading on Bitmex was a rollercoaster of emotion and also really frustrating because of how low volatility was while BTC was stuck at the $6k floor.
Despite 2018 being one of my worst years in terms of performance it was also the year where I started taking trading seriously. I put in hundreds of hours each month studying trading videos, taking notes on other influencer's tweets whenever they tweeted about some concept and I spent an outrageous amount of time listening to trading podcasts. I tracked everything I did, reviewed it regularly and improved by a small amount each week.
It sucked because it felt like I was moving so slow.
But even with a slow speed of learning, over time I was making progress.
I stopped losing money consistently and was floating around breakeven for a while until finally crossing the threshold and becoming profitable.
There was no "horray" moment. Instead I just felt relief. I poured an unbelievable amount of time, effort and energy into this game to the point where it would be unreasonable for me to not become profitable.
A lot of it sucked.
But it was worth it.

@Larskooistra_ as a former tennis player and simon sinek fan, idk why I never thought about trading like this

The Joy Reset: How Elite Athletes Turn Every Point into an Opportunity
“In the Modern Wisdom episode “How to Find Meaning When Life Feels Overwhelming”, Simon Sinek uses tennis as a metaphor for sustained high performance in any field. He contrasts “good” players with the very best in the world, identifying a subtle but decisive difference in their mental approach.
For Sinek, greatness is not defined solely by talent, technical skill, or even physical conditioning—it’s about emotional reset. After a point is played—whether it was a triumph or a disaster—elite players immediately return to a mindset of joyful engagement. He describes how the very best respond internally with something like: “That was fun. I love this.” This response is identical whether they just hit a perfect winner or committed a double fault. The key is not neutrality—it’s positive emotional consistency.
Most players, even professionals, allow the previous point to influence the next. After a good point, they may feel overconfident or try to force another perfect shot. After a bad point, they may dwell on frustration or self-criticism. This variability in mindset creates mental noise, subtly shifting focus away from execution and toward emotional self-management—burning mental energy that could be conserved for the game itself. The elite athlete’s approach—resetting to a joyful, curious state—keeps their attentional bandwidth entirely on the present point. Over time, this reduces cumulative mental fatigue and maintains optimal decision-making under pressure.
At its core, Sinek’s observation is about emotional reframing—deliberately shifting perception so that each moment is seen as an opportunity rather than a continuation of past results. This prevents the compounding effect of negative emotions, sustains intrinsic motivation, and allows for greater adaptability when circumstances change. It’s a proactive choice: every “point” can either be shadowed by the past or infused with the lightness of starting again.”
Now apply this to trading.

@theWillN @Wyckoff_Insider I cant be certain because i was not there when it happened but when i see it now i think that tap 2 was insignificant because the deviation is so small and the timeframe it was valid on was small compared to the range.

@wozo_capital @Wyckoff_Insider id still like some wisdom though! if you were watching this live from before the LTF 2nd tap, how would you approach it?
