How do you build patience for the right trade?

Patience isn't waiting — it's waiting while knowing exactly what you're waiting for. Traders who can describe their setup precisely find waiting far easier than those who can't.

• how you define the trade you're waiting for
• what you do instead of watching the chart
• how waiting felt before and after you had a plan
