Taking a trade is like riding a train.

You don’t jump on randomly.
You don’t get off at every stop.

You stay on until one of two things happens:
1. You reach your final destination (take profit)
2. The train changes route and won’t get you there (invalidated setup)

Beginner traders do the opposite:
• They jump on every train
• They panic and get off early (even when it’s going the right way)
• They refuse to get off at the destination and roundtrip

It is so simple though:
• Pick the train → Trade setup
• Confirm direction → Trend
• Choose destination → Identify take profit levels
• Reassess if route changes → Trend shift, early close
• Get off at the final destination → Take profit
