The Importance of Waiting for Confirmation

Entering too early is one of the most expensive habits in trading, and it usually happens

for one reason — your mind wants certainty before the market actually gives confirmation.

When price looks like it’s about to break out or reverse, your brain convinces

you that entering early gives you a “better price.” But the market doesn’t reward early guesses.

It rewards patience and confirmation. The fix is simple: wait for the market to prove the idea,

not just suggest it. If you think a breakout is coming, wait until the candle

closes above the level, not while it’s still forming. If you expect a

reversal, wait for the structure to shift, not just one candle rejecting a zone.
