Trading is all about timing. Move in too early and you're burning capital on sideways noise—energy wasted waiting for the real move. Jump in too late and you watch the gains happen without you. The sweet spot? That's where the real money gets made. The trick is knowing exactly when price action confirms the breakout is legitimate, when volume backs the move, when structure actually breaks. Most traders never nail this because they either chase the fear of missing out or second-guess themselves into paralysis. The edge comes from recognizing that exact inflection point where probability shifts in your favor.

That's true, but the reality is that nine out of ten people get wiped out at this timing... Really, I've seen too many people chase highs and sell lows, ruining a good hand.

That's right, but the reality is that most people simply can't grasp that point. I am the living example of the opposite.

It sounds good, but how many people can really grasp that point? I usually enter early anyway, watching the candlestick charts and torturing myself for a long time before making a move.

You're right, but only a few people can actually do it. I myself lost money by trying to bottom out too early, watching it all go to waste. Now I've learned to wait for confirmation, even if it means earning less, but living longer.

Getting in early means being tortured; getting in late means just watching the show. Is it really that hard?

That's true, but the problem is that most people can't wait for that moment at all, their mindset collapses first.
