Most Traders Lose Here — I Simply Don’t Trade

Most traders think trading is about finding the perfect entry. It isn’t. In this video I talk about the biggest mistake I see retail traders making every single week — trading at the worst possible times, especially Monday open and Friday afternoon. If you want to survive in forex trading, discipline matters more than pressing the buy or sell button. In this discussion I explain why less trading often leads to better results, how reviewing your trading journal exposes patterns in your losses, and why avoiding certain sessions can dramatically improve your performance. We also talk about volatility differences between markets like EURUSD, US100 and US30, how ATR should influence your position sizing, and why day traders should focus on short-term probabilities rather than trying to predict the market weeks ahead. Understanding when not to trade is often the difference between blowing accounts and building them. ✅ Join Scruffy Squad Discord & Way of Scruff Trading modules 👉    / @thescruffytrader   ✅ Get live updates on WhatsApp: 👉 https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6t... #forextrading #daytrading #tradingpsychology #scalping #forextrader #priceaction #tradingmindset #gbpusd #eurusd #forexlifestyle 🎓 MASTER THE SYSTEM Get the "Way of the Scruff" modules and download my private help sheets without joining the full squad. 👉 https://www.thescruffytrader.com 💡 JOIN THE SCRUFFY SQUAD (LIVE TRADING) Want to see how I mark up the charts every single day?
