WHEN SHOULD YOU STAY OUT OF THE MARKET?

There are times when not trading is the most sensible decision.

Stay cautious when:

You cannot identify a clear market structure.

Price is in the middle of a range with no compelling setup.

Your entry model has not been confirmed.

The required stop-loss makes the trade's risk unacceptable.

You're emotionally frustrated and trying to recover a loss.

Not trading is a decision too.
