Recently, upon reviewing my trades, I realized I've fallen into an old habit—I always feel the setup isn't clean enough, so I hesitate to take action. The result? I watched opportunities slip by for several days in a row without catching a single one. This mindset really needs to change; the market won't wait for anyone.

This is a classic case of analysis paralysis. Waiting for the perfect entry ends up missing the whole move. Wake up.

nah tbh this is just cope for missing trades. "waiting for clean charts" is what people say when they're actually just scared—empirically speaking, indecision costs more than bad entries ever will. the market doesn't care about your perfectionism, it moves whether you're ready or not. maybe the real issue isn't the setup, it's the risk management you're probably skipping anyway.

Perfectionism is harmful. I've been like this too and have missed so many good opportunities.

Perfectionism is really harmful; I've done this myself. It's either all in or just watching from the sidelines—there's no middle ground. Opportunities always go to those who dare to take action; just watching gets you nowhere. The market will never be perfect, man. Realizing this is already a win. Recognizing this logic about yourself early on will really save you from detours. Don't be like me, getting taught the same lesson over and over.

Perfectionism is harmful. I’m like this too, and as a result, I keep missing out time after time.

Perfectionism is harmful. I have this problem too—waiting for the plate to be spotless, but by then the market has already flown away.
