Waiting for entries, for sure. Sitting my hands is difficult.

But also recognizing the right exit is important. Without the proper exit, closing a trade too early could leave me with just a fraction of the profits.

Managing the trade without interfering too much. Once you’re in, it’s easy to start watching every small move and second-guessing the original setup.

I tend to leave it to the market after entering a trade. The challenge arises during long waiting periods when I fail to fully recognize a shift in the trend.

For me the hardest part is separating actual invalidation from normal noise. Watching every tick makes it way too easy to move the stop, take profit early, or invent a reason to interfere with a setup that was fine five minutes ago. Having the exit logic decided before entry removes a lot of that
