Agreed 🙌🏻

Most traders don’t lose because their analysis is bad.
They lose because they don’t respect risk during bad market conditions.

When the market is choppy or trending down, your goal is not to make money fast.
Your goal is to stay alive.

That means smaller position sizes.
That means fewer trades.
That means being okay with doing nothing.

A lot of people blow up trying to force profits when there is no clear direction. They see others posting wins and feel behind, so they overtrade. That’s usually how accounts die.

Good traders adjust to the environment.
Strong market? You press.
Weak market? You protect.

Cash is a position. Patience is a strategy.

If you can survive the slow and painful periods, you’ll be there when real opportunities show up again. Most people won’t.
