Many traders try to control outcomes — predicting direction, forcing trades, reacting emotionally when price moves differently than expected.
Elite traders understand something deeper:
You cannot control the market.
You can only control your decisions.
Once this is accepted, trading becomes calmer and more structured. Risk is defined before entry. Losses are accepted as part of the process. Wins are treated as routine, not celebration.
Control over yourself creates consistency.
Trying to control price creates pressure.
The strongest traders are not those who trade the most —
they are the ones who remain disciplined, patient, and objective through every phase.
Mastery is not about prediction.
It is about repeating the right behaviors every single day.
That is how consistency is built.
