Trading is icing first and then your cake.
Look at Monday’s trading. What stands out?
First trades:
Final trade sequence:
First it’s several “nothing-to-write-home-about” trades.
Only then does the opportunity you solved for (in your game plan) show up fully.
- Tuesday? Same.
- Wednesday? Same.
- Today? Again—same.
Look at today’s trading.

What’s happening?
When too many traders jump into the same opportunity, the market must clear the crowd.
Money always transfers from the majority to a select few who know how to play the game.
Your game plan (the opportunity for you to take money from the market) works—but at first, only a little. It’s the icing.
The cake doesn’t come until others:
-
Exit in frustration.
-
Bleed trying to force it.
-
Or better yet, flip their position in doubt.
And the long the delay between icing and cake—the bigger the cake when if finally comes.
