Some trades consolidate before continuing. Others fail.
Define what normal price behaviour looks like for your setup, and don't confuse waiting with a guaranteed future win.

Spot on. Impatience is one of the fastest ways to bleed capital, especially when trading on a prop account. When you expect instant gratification, you tend to over-lever or panic-exit during normal market consolidation, which eats away at your daily loss limits.
