  • Stop chasing “perfect” trades (it’s costing you $$$)

Stop chasing “perfect” trades (it’s costing you $$$)

The secret to consistent profits isn’t what you think...

“If only I had entered at the exact bottom…”

“I could have made so much more if I’d waited for a better entry…”

“I keep missing the perfect setup because I can’t watch the charts all day…”

I used to think like this.

I was obsessed with finding the “perfect entry”—that mythical moment where risk is low, reward is high, and I could squeeze every last dollar from a trade.

But every time I hesitated, I’d either:

  • Miss the move entirely—watching it run without me.

  • Enter late—and end up buying the top or selling the bottom.

  • Overtrade—trying to “make up” for missed chances.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

The perfect entry doesn’t exist.

Even the most successful traders don’t consistently nail tops and bottoms.

Instead, they understand that trading is about expectancy, not perfection.

Your trading failures aren't because you're not smart enough - they're because you've been chasing the impossible.

Expectancy is a simple formula:

(Win Rate × Average Win) - (Loss Rate × Average Loss)

If this number is positive, you make money over time. That's it.

Notice that perfect entries aren't part of this equation. 

What matters is that your system produces a positive expectancy over a large sample of trades.

The market constantly moves - but with a proper trading approach, you can adapt in profit regardless of the conditions.

This realization transformed my trading. Instead of agonizing over perfect entries, I focused on:

  1. Finding "good enough" entries that satisfied my criteria

  2. Managing risk properly on every trade

  3. Letting winners run while cutting losers quickly

This shift in mindset allowed me to take more trades, reduce my stress, and ironically, improve my overall results.

The worst trading mistake isn't a losing trade - it's missing out on winning trades while waiting for perfection.

You don't need more indicators - you need a proven system that turns "good enough" into "highly profitable."

Because here’s the truth…

Your dreams of trading success are completely achievable - if you stop chasing perfection and start following a proven system.

To get your hands on an approach that will help you get on track to consistent gains regardless of the conditions…

Because right now if you're waiting for perfect setups, you're likely:

  1. Missing plenty of profitable opportunities

  2. Overtrading when you finally enter (trying to make up for missed chances)

  3. Experiencing unnecessary stress and FOMO

  4. Not generating enough data to actually improve your trading

The market doesn't care about your desire for perfection - it rewards those who take consistent, high-probability action.

This portfolio perspective has been crucial to my consistent success and has helped our Theta Warrior community members overcome the emotional rollercoaster of trading.
