Quality Over Quantity
"What's the point of having countless books and libraries, whose titles could hardly be read through in a lifetime. The learner is not taught, but burdened by the sheer volume, and it's better to plant the seeds of a few authors than to be scattered about by many."
— Seneca, On Tranquility of Mind
When we compare today's meditation to trading, it is something that most of us should be familiar with.
How many times have we heard the term "less is more" for example?
Our strategies have set rules/criteria that must be fully met, in order for them to become trades for us. This means that we are seriously narrowing down the number of trades that we may execute and we will generally have plenty of down time where we can take a break from the screen time and make sure we are fresh, relaxed and fully focused for the next opportunity that appears.
Remember you don't need to trade market after market; you just need to be ready to pounce when something meets your requirements!
Less trading that makes you more consistent and therefore more confident and profitable, means a positive and more relaxed outcome with no over-trading.
So for me it is definitely a case of "quality over quantity" for sure!
