Lesson Learned: Chasing the Momentum

Thought I'd share a quick lesson from my early days. Used to always jump into a breakout without confirming volume or retest, especially on fast-moving stocks or $BTC. Got burned more times than I can count, always buying the top of the initial move and getting stopped out on the first pullback. Realized eventually that waiting for confirmation, even if it means missing the absolute lowest entry, dramatically improves win rates and reduces emotional decisions. Patience isn't just a virtue; it's a profitable strategy.
