Many traders experience frustration when they miss a move.
They replay the chart, question their discipline, and feel pressure to make it back.
Elite traders see missed trades differently.
A missed trade carries zero risk.
It does not damage capital.
It does not damage discipline.
Chasing a missed move, however, often does all three.
Elite traders accept that no strategy captures every opportunity. They measure success by how well they followed their process — not by how much movement they caught.
Missing a trade means your filters worked.
Forcing a trade means they failed.
Professional trading is not about participation at all costs.
It is about protecting consistency over time.
When you stop treating missed trades as losses,
clarity replaces regret — and discipline stays intact.
