Success in trading is strongly linked to our ability to endure discomfort in various forms such as FOMO, accepting losses, fear of missing out, managing profitable trades, determining position sizes, and so on.
While trading, we often believe that our focus is primarily on what we observe on the screen - patterns, levels, setups, and maybe our profit and loss statement.
However, what happens when we are in the midst of intense moments?
During critical execution moments, our personal needs tend to take precedence over our plans or strategies.
For instance, the need to be correct, the need for emotional well-being, our self-esteem, and the desire to be perceived as competent by others are just a few examples.
Whether it involves entering a trade, exiting a trade, determining position sizes, and so forth, it is during these crucial moments of execution that something else takes control.
Our performance is not solely determined by our knowledge or strategies; it is largely influenced by how we execute them. How well we Execute our plan depends on how well we handle uncertainty, risk, and opportunity.
The harsh reality in trading is that success is more about execution than strategy. Many traders possess a strategy with an advantage but struggle to execute it.
When traders realize the gap between strategy and execution, they often focus on aspects that do not address the performance gap.
They may "redo" their plan, change strategies, or try to imitate someone else. This usually don't work very well.
