In this YouTube monologue, The Art Of Crypto explains a common dilemma for traders: they can reliably spot high‑quality (A+) trade setups, yet they often overtrade by taking low‑probability, poor‑outcome trades, especially on days that historically underperform. The speaker identifies Mondays as a prime example of a low‑probability day due to minimal news flow, and advises traders to simply stay out of the market on such days to protect performance.

You know what a good trade looks like, but at the same time, you, you just can't help yourself by taking all of the bad trades that you know you shouldn't be taking. And one of the easiest ways to prevent this is to simply avoid low probability days if possible. What are Examples of low probability days, well, they tend to be Mondays because they tend to have no news.
