A short monologue by a trader (Kardec Trader) arguing traders do not need to trade every day. The speaker reports that out of roughly 20 trading days per month they typically see 4–6 days with actionable setups, and that this expectation changes their behavior—making them more comfortable sitting out flat markets or being wrong on many days.
Out of 20 trading days, roughly in a month. I've noticed there's typically maybe four to six trading days where I get action. I start seeing good movements, good setups. Now, after realizing that, I approach every month with this foundational understanding of that, where it's like, okay, well, if I know out of 20 trading days the market is going to give me four to six, then when I do show up to 20 days, I'm more comfortable when I'm wrong. I'm more comfortable if the market is flat and I don't take a trade.
