Staying patient comes down to treating your trading plan as a strict rulebook rather than a loose suggestion. When you feel the urge to chase moving markets, remember that FOMO is the fastest way to breach a daily loss limit or trigger consistency rules on a prop account.
Here are a few habits that work: - Set your charts up, define your exact entry trigger, and then walk away from lower timeframes until price reaches your zone. - Use limit orders instead of market orders to take emotion out of the execution. - Accept that missing a move is completely fine; protecting capital is always more profitable than forcing a bad trade.
