Why Traders Exit Too Early

Here's the brutal truth: most traders abandon their positions right when the real move is about to happen.

It's rarely about missing the opportunity itself. The exit happens because resolve cracks. Patience snaps.

The pattern repeats like clockwork. Before any significant price surge, markets enter a consolidation phase. The chart goes flat. Every candle looks identical to the last. Trading feels pointless. Then emotions kick in—doubt, frustration, the itch to do something, anything.

This phase? It's often the setup, not the failure. That sideways action you're watching, that grinding price movement that tests your nerves—it's the market gathering energy. The bigger the base, the bigger the move that typically follows.

The traders who profit aren't necessarily smarter. They're just the ones who stayed.
