It's not easy to know what next will happen in the market and that's why traders without the right knowledge will always run at loss. Being patient with the market is good, but when you don't know what you are doing, it becomes a big problem to you. It's better that you don't trade when you don't understand the market. I am only into spot trading and I do that with extreme caution.
The idea of being patient should not be taken for granted but rather one should embrace it as a trade mark to speed up their trading process, no wonder the saying "the patient dog eat the fastest bone cannot be eliminated cause it has a vital force in taking that business or what you're involved into to another realm. Then I really don't have some atom of patience in me over alot of things, it just seems like it's all wasting my time but I bad to learn through that same means and i can beat my chest to it that patience really worth the wait.
Patience is a word that seems simple but in reality is a difficult thing to do. There may not be valid data on this, but from what I have seen and experienced, patience is one of the biggest factors that contribute to failure.
I agree with you that we must find the best way so that our patience can bear sweet fruit in the end. because being patient alone is not enough without the efforts we make. Especially in trading like this where we know what the risks are.
