Why can't you control your hands? Because from the very beginning, you've been using the wrong signals to enter the market. Almost everyone understands "entry signals" the same way: when the conditions are met, I should enter. This logic sounds reasonable, but the problem lies right there. Because it assumes one thing in your mind: your task is to make trades. So when you look at the market, your state becomes waiting, watching, enduring—just looking for a decent pattern to justify taking action. You think it's a lack of discipline, but actually, you've put yourself in an offensive stance. An entry mode is never "the button that allows you to trade"; its true purpose is only one: to deny trades as much as possible. Most market conditions are simply not worth your participation. But you're not viewing the market from a "refusal" standpoint; you're looking for a reason to enter. You're eager to trade, and that's the root of itchiness, excitement, and rule-breaking. It's not that you're undisciplined; it's that you've reversed the direction from the start. What truly helped me quit reckless trading wasn't more complex indicators, but a counterintuitive shift. I used to assume I was going to trade, just waiting for a signal. Later, I completely flipped that: my default state is no trading unless the market gives me an irresistible reason. This is a change in stance. When "no trading" becomes the default option, you enter a defensive mode. You start instinctively picking holes: Is there obvious risk near this position? Can I accept a stop-loss on this trade right now? You no longer rush to prove you're right; you only care about one thing: is this trade worth the risk? Most of the time, the answer is no. And it’s this constant rejection that forces out a few A+ trades with almost no psychological resistance. Not because you want to, but because you think not doing so is more reasonable. Honestly, this state isn't easy. When you're eager to make up losses and treat trading as your only income source, it's almost impossible to be extremely conservative. True conservatism isn't about not attacking; it's about reserving your attacks for moments with the highest probability and lowest cost. Trading is more like this: every day, you pass by an orchard gate, but you do nothing and don't look up. Most of the time, the apples on the tree are either not ripe or out of reach. Only when you see a big, red apple hanging right within reach do you pause, pick it, and then move on. You don't look back, nor do you worry about how many apples are still on the tree, nor do you obsess over whether there's a bigger one. I've seen many traders who are technically skilled but just can't survive. Not because they don't know how to cut losses, but because they’re constantly looking for opportunities. They treat trading like a job that requires clocking in, feeling that doing nothing is a waste of time. But the market isn't your boss; it won't pay you just because you're working hard today. Sometimes, the best trade is doing nothing—staying on the sidelines all day. Because that preserves your capital and your emotional state. When the real opportunity comes, you'll have the strength to seize it. Many people think they’re bad at trading because their signals aren’t accurate enough. So they keep learning new indicators, systems, strategies—trying to pile on every tool they can find. But think about it calmly: do you really lack signals? Most people's problem isn't that they can't see opportunities; it's that they see too many "opportunities." Every decent pattern can make your heart flutter a little. You're not lacking tools; you're lacking a reason to stop. Not trading is also a form of trading. Choosing not to participate is a decision in itself. And the value of this decision is often greater than making ten mediocre trades. Many treat trading as a skill, thinking that practicing enough will make them stronger. But trading is more like a decision-making ability—you need to learn how to pick that one truly worth acting on out of a hundred seemingly good opportunities. This isn't a technical issue; it's a stance issue. When you change your default from "I want to trade" to "I don't trade," you'll find many of your previous problems disappear. You no longer hesitate about stop-losses because you simply won't enter those trades that cause hesitation. You no longer worry about missing opportunities because you know when the real one comes, you won't hesitate at all. Being able to survive long-term is the most important thing.
