Why Pros Don’t Care About “Direction” First
Most retail traders ask one question before entering a trade:
“Will price go up or down?”
Professional traders ask a different question:
“Where am I wrong?”
Before entering, they already know the invalid level.
If price breaks it, they exit—no emotion, no hope.
This is why pros survive bad days.
They don’t predict; they manage uncertainty.
A trade with a clear invalidation but small reward
is often better than a “perfect-looking” setup with no exit plan.
The market doesn’t reward confidence.
It rewards clarity.
Takeaway:
If you don’t know where you’re wrong, you’re not trading—you’re guessing.
