The Edge Most Traders Ignore (But You Shouldn’t)

Why You Don’t Have to Trade Every Day (And Why That’s a Superpower Most Traders Ignore)

Why You Don’t Have to Trade Every Day (And Why That’s a Superpower Most Traders Ignore) One of the biggest mindset shifts you can make as a trader is this: Some strategies need quantity, and some strategies need quality. Here’s what I mean. If the strategy is dependent on consistent trades using a method that thrives on repetition – like Overnight Options – then you need to be there taking those trades. Every day.  Otherwise, the system will break down. Remember, there is no such thing as an edge on one trade. An edge only occurs on a series of trades. So something systematic like Overnight Option requires executing that series to realize that edge. But discretionary trading is totally different. You don’t just force trades because it’s Tuesday or a full moon or whatever other reason you have to trade. In fact, I would say you shouldn’t trade every day like that. I get it. Alerts are flying, charts are moving, and there’s always the temptation to jump in just because you haven’t placed a trade yet this week.  But that’s exactly how traders get chopped up. They chase noise instead of waiting for clarity. And here’s the truth: You can’t force a good trade. A good example is all the folks “chasing moves” in April when the market was swinging wildly… but as soon as things slowed down, those options premiums melted and they were left holding the bag. This week is a good example. We have a mix of conflicting signals: lots of folks think we are way overheated and due for a pullback, yet it feels like another melt up phase at the same time. I think trying to “predict” which way we go is a dangerous game. In fact, I almost never do that in ANY condition, let alone a teetering 5% above all time highs where so much exposure lingers on the downside. But as you go through your day and week, just keep a couple things in mind that are simple and easy to execute. ✅ Take trades that are clear and confirmed (no gut trades) ✅ Use smaller size when you’re unsure ✅ Don’t chase and overpay – use limits and move on if they don’t fill ✅ Let your GTCs do the work — don’t babysit every candle ✅ Remember that cash is a position The goal here isn’t to hit a home run every week. It’s, frankly, to not mess up our edge that we’ve been taking advantage of. And working on your discipline is always a good skill. — Nate Tucci P.S.
