Made a new connection recently, 

Last month this guy followed me on x and reached out, said we should grab coffee

I could tell he was legit

Subtle guy, nothing really too crazy stook out about him

But i could tell there was something about his trading

I asked him what he traded.

"Same thing as you and everyone else," he said. "But I only take 3 trades per month."

Three trades.

Per month.

Last year he made $2.3 million.

We immediately agreed that most traders are "addicted to action."

"They think more trades = more money."

But the market doesn't care how busy you are.

He pulled out his phone and showed me his trading journal.

January: 2 trades. +$180k
February: 4 trades. +$220k
March: 3 trades. +$195k

I was staring at numbers that i personally right now would kill for

"How?" 

I asked.

His answer floored me.

"I only trade when three things align perfectly," he said.

"First - the weekly bias is crystal clear. No guessing."

"Second - there's obvious liquidity that hasn't been touched in at least 2 weeks."

"Third - I can risk 0.5% and make at least 8:1."

That's it.

Just patience.

Extreme, almost psychotic patience.

forget trading, for any business the goal should always to get super lean

do less, make more

Here's what he understood that most traders don't:

The market rewards patience, not activity.

Every time you take a mediocre setup because you're bored, you're literally paying the market for entertainment.

Every time you force a trade because "I need to make money today," you're gambling.

The best traders in the world are the most selective.

They wait for the market to serve them perfect setups on a silver platter.

Then they bet big.

Funny how the people making real money never talk about it.

They just quietly move their cash to where it actually grows.

Like 4.35% quietly.

"But Atif," you're thinking, "I can't just sit there doing nothing."

I get it.

Your brain is wired for action.

Stimulation.

Sitting on your hands while the market moves feels like you're missing out.

But here's the brutal truth:

Most of your losses come from trades you shouldn't have taken.

Not from trades you missed.

The market will always be there tomorrow.

Perfect setups will always come back.

Your account balance won't if you keep forcing trades.

After that conversation, I went back and analyzed my last 100 trades.

The results were embarrassing.

My best 12 trades made more money than the other 88 combined.

The other 88 were just noise. Busy work. Expensive entertainment.

Even though my current setup is as lean as its ever been

Compared to him?

I was working harder to make less. 

Everyone's looking for a secret strategy.

The magic indicator.

The perfect entry technique.

But the real edge isn't in what you do.

It's in what you don't do.

It's having the discipline to wait for setups so obvious that even your grandmother could spot them.

It's being comfortable with boredom while everyone else is chasing their tails.

It's understanding that in trading, less is almost always more.

Here's what I want you to do:

For the next 30 days, only take trades that meet these criteria:

That's it.

You might only take 2-3 trades this month.

Good.

You'll probably make more money than you did last month taking 50 trades.

Because it's boring.

Because it requires actual discipline.

Because it means admitting that 90% of your trading activity is just expensive noise.

Most traders would rather be busy and broke than patient and profitable.

Don't be most traders.

That guy didn't have some secret system.

He just understood that the market pays you for being right, not for being active.

Quality over quantity.

Patience over action.

Precision over volume.

Master this, and you'll never struggle with consistency again.

Ignore it, and you'll keep spinning your wheels forever.

Talk soon,

Atif
