why doing nothing feels harder than losing
losing gives you closure.
doing nothing leaves you sitting with uncertainty.
when you lose, your brain says “at least something happened”.
when you wait, there’s no dopamine. no resolution.
that’s why people force trades in chop.
not because they see edge.
but because they can’t sit still.
markets exploit this.
doing nothing feels unproductive, but it’s often the most profitable state.
capital preserved is opportunity preserved.
if waiting makes you uncomfortable, that’s the work.
learn to sit through it.
most accounts don’t die from big mistakes.
they bleed out from boredom.
