Depends on the source of the inaction, doesn't it? It has to be a conscience act, showing self-awareness and self-control, however If it based on crippling fear, inaction could save your butt or be an indication that you don't have the education enough to react correctly.

IMO, there is a difference between not placing a trade and "doing nothing". My objective is to apply the "mindfulness" to stay busy when there is not a good trade setup. "Doing nothing" carries a negative connotation.
@AlanGuo4 жыл бұрын
1. doing nothing is deliberate action 2. gain conscious control of doing nothing (have a list of criteria) 3. make it process driven 4. have execution strategy 5. develop if(then) scenarios 6. develop trade review

Hi Alan, I have been training for 6 months now, have a updated list of criteria that I've want to have changed, but I still violate them. Like, i set a profit target, reach it and still can't click the button to close the transaction and end up losing. How do you practice to get ahead of such weakness? Thank You!

1. Doing Nothing is an Action 2. Requires Conscious Control (of doing nothing) Don’t get sucked into the intra price action or short term Don’t think about doing some action outside of your rules Use loop timer to bring back your focus Check your trading plan Zoom out and look at the bigger picture Journal your thoughts on trades you were going to take Breathing exercise 3. Process Driven Approach Know your edge Have your playbook 4. Mental Framework/Execution Strategy Truly understand what it takes to mentally hit that buy/sell button Is it FOMO Is it greed Is it boredom Does it meet all your requirement in your playbook 5. HYTOS aka hypothesis (if and then statements) Create scenarios as to why you’re going to take or not take action. For example, if the price is between 2 areas you’re going to sit and not take any action. 6. Review Process Tag your trades: What was the overall market doing at that time What are some other variables you can connect that you normally don’t think of Collect all the data over time and analyze what works and what doesn’t under various situations

Patience is a virtue. I’ve notice that as I’ve matured that I’m more tolerant. I waited all day for price to come to me and one minute before the closing bell I bought shares back I sold on the open, reassigned the lot and sold a weekly covered call that closes in 4 days with high IV by hitting the bid. Bam! What a day on FEYE!

Great video! I’ve been struggling with exiting trades before I hit my stop in an effort to cut losses short. I end up taking a small loss but the trade ends up going in my favor. Today I watched the price action pull back a bit BUT I watched it objectively AND I didn’t focus on the ‘pain’. I didn’t ignore where my stop out limit was, I just had to be comfortable with the fact that I was CLOSE to it... not AT the limit. Sure enough, with a little patience the price action picked up and did what I had originally anticipated. My point being that patience is also practiced IN the trade, not just in the set up. Great video and thank you for sharing

Thanks so much for sharing this valuable video with the trading community Merritt. This along with Mikes "3 simple ideas to to improve your trading results" are some of the things I am still struggling with. The thing that resonated with me the most in this video is "making a checklist for taking a trade" and finding the conditions where my strategy's edge is diminished and the conditions of under performance. I have been trying to think of ways to reduce my losses and improve my edge and this will be key I believe. Now to do the work to determine those areas. Thanks again for sharing

Thanks for that! Good points. I believe it would have been good also to expand on when you cut your patience (Stop being patient in this trade) and be convinced that you are wrong! Meaning normally, you are patience because you believe your hypo will happen and you are giving it bit more time or room due to information the market is giving you. So 1) What is your advise on when the trade is not going your way that the trade is a wrong trade and need to something about that vs patience and 2) and how do you compare that to being flexible and can easily adapt to market changes? ... So the scenario, you are in a trade, it starts to go against you, you are patient, it goes more against you ....then for example you see info in order flow that the market is reversing and signs that goes against your direction... So what do you do? You close the trade and go the other way... probably we need a video for that! and thanks for all the good work you are doing guys - appreciated!
