Shocking Truth: My best-performing month came when I took only 9 trades (see the stats). Here's why sitting still beats overtrading.

Part 1: The 3 Signs You Should NOT Trade Today

1. The "Forced Trade" Itch

• Symptom: Scrolling charts desperately for any setup

• Fix: Use my Market Condition Meter
  

2. Choppy Price Action

• When ADX < 25 (learn to spot choppiness patterns)
  

• Example: This losing streak I avoided
  

3. Major News Pending

• My Economic Calendar Filter blocks these days automatically
  

Part 2: The Productive Inactivity Routine

What to Do Instead of Trading:

1. Journaling with my No-Trade Day Template
   

2. Backtesting (from Day 8)
   

3. Physical Reset - My 15-min trader yoga routine
   

📌 Action Task:
Schedule 2 mandatory no-trade days this month

Part 3: The Paradox of Patience

How Waiting Pays Off:

• 83% of my annual profits come from 11% of trading days

• See the breakdown of my "home run" trades
  

Homework for Day 12
