Short spoken segment from a Kardec Trader YouTube video stressing that successful trading requires extreme patience and discipline. The speaker contrasts taking every small market opportunity versus waiting for the best setups, notes that patience is often developed over years of self-work, and explains that this discipline carries over into execution decisions (e.g., refusing poor trades, controlling position size).
Are you going to take every single swing at the market that gives you a little hole, or are you going to say, I'm going to find the best opportunities and I'm going to stay patient on my hands, sitting like this and wait for that opportunity to come? That takes an extreme level of patience and discipline. Now, some people may magically have it naturally, some people don't. I didn't have it. I didn't have the patience. I've developed into, like, this patient person with the markets and everything else in my life. And that took years and years of working on myself and understanding that I need to be patient not just in the markets, but outside of markets. Yeah. So in trading, that carries over because you're sitting down and you're like, okay, this is not a good trade. I'm not going to execute. I'm not going to put on a trade, I'm not going to put on size. I'm not going to do the things I told myself I'm not going to do, and I'll do the things I told myself I am going to do. And you'll see that correlation happens.
