Good traders are like athletes 👾

Most returns are made in few pockets of the year. The rest of the year should be spent building skills, learning, and preparing for the next opportunity. 

The reason why most people lose is because they don't stop trading. Your edge is gone but you still feel like you need to take a position. 

Something pumps and you are scared of missing out. Your dopamine receptors are fried from the bull market and you are stuck chasing that high. 

Here's a secret. Don't feel rushed to make it. Stop thinking that this is your last opportunity. Markets can smell desperation and they will eat you alive if you let it. 

Instead take the time to reflect and learn. Like athletes training for that one moment, you are doing the same thing. 

The people who perform the best in the bull are the ones who prepared beforehand.
