Most traders need a reason to wait.
They wait because rules say so.
They wait because they’re unsure.
Elite traders wait without needing justification.
They don’t require fear, doubt, or confusion to step aside. Waiting is simply part of how they operate. It’s not avoidance — it’s alignment.
They understand that markets move in waves of clarity and ambiguity. Acting only during clarity is not conservative — it’s precise.
The ability to wait calmly, without second-guessing, is a skill most never develop.
The market doesn’t reward urgency.
It rewards timing.
And timing belongs to those who are comfortable doing nothing —
until doing something actually matters.
