Stop chasing the perfect trade setup. Greed kills more portfolios than poor timing ever will. The lesson here? Your edge isn't about catching every dip or waiting for the textbook entry—it's about staying disciplined enough to know when to pass. Most traders blow up hunting that mythical 1% better entry point, then FOMO in anyway at 5% worse. Take what the market gives you, not what you think it owes you.

Greed is truly incredible. I've seen too many people blow up their accounts just for that 1% perfect entry point.

To be honest, the idea of a perfect entry is just an illusion... Watching so many people squeeze for that 1% price difference, and in the end, isn't it just their greed that destroys them?

Wait, why do I always think about perfect entry? Greed is the real portfolio killer.

Really, greed is much more destructive than quick reflexes.

Really, greed is so much worse than market timing. --- Wait, let's talk about that 1% and 5% thing. I just don't understand why everyone is so obsessed. --- Knowing when to shut up is true skill. --- The market owes us nothing. That really hits home. --- Discipline sounds simple in theory, but... well, I'll just keep FOMO-ing. --- Actually, it's just two words: restraint. But no one listens. --- Another lesson: "You don't deserve to make this money."

Honestly, greed is truly an invisible killer. --- I knew it, many people die waiting for that "perfect entry." --- Discipline > all technical indicators. Only when you realize this can you truly get started. --- FOMO entry is more painful than missing the opportunity. I've seen too many cases like this. --- Take what the market gives you, don't always think it owes you something. --- I completely agree, that 1% profit difference really isn't worth it.
