The costliest beginner mistake isn't a bad trade — it's an unnecessary one, taken because the chart was open and nothing was happening.
Boredom feels like a problem that needs solving right now, so a trader invents a setup that isn't really there. The cost hides well: it doesn't show up as one big loss, it shows up as a slow leak of small ones that never had a real edge behind them.
Next time the urge to act shows up without a real signal, write down what your plan actually requires, then check if it's present. If not, the trade is to do nothing.
What's your go-to way of telling boredom apart from a real setup?
