A strategy can be correct about direction and still be wrong about horizon.
You buy because the thesis suggests an asset is undervalued.
Three days later, nothing happens.
So you exit.
Two weeks later, the original move begins.
The analysis may not have failed.
Your holding period failed to match the mechanism behind the thesis.
This is horizon mismatch.
A liquidity-driven setup, catalyst trade, mean-reversion signal, and long-term fundamental thesis should not be evaluated on the same clock.
Execution efficiency still matters. For eligible new users, CODE2026 can reduce qualifying Binance Spot trading fees by 20%, lowering one predictable layer of friction.
But cheaper trading can make premature exits and re-entries cheaper—not smarter.
Every thesis should answer two questions before capital is deployed:
What should happen?
How long should it reasonably take?
Being early and being wrong can look identical for a while.
Your process needs to know the difference.
