One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of traders believe the market is “out to get them.” They finally make an entry, and almost immediately the stock dips, so they think they timed it perfectly… in the wrong direction.
In reality, that’s often just normal price behavior. Markets don’t move in straight lines. Buyers take profits, sellers step in, liquidity gets exchanged, and price breathes before the next move. The problem is that most traders have never accepted that a trade can still be healthy while temporarily moving against them.
That’s why conviction has to come from your analysis, not your P&L. If every red candle after your entry makes you question the trade, your confidence wasn’t built on data in the first place. Trust your process, respect your risk, and let the market tell you when you’re wrong, not your emotions five seconds after you buy.
