Time is super underrated in risk management, especially on lower timeframes.
When I enter expecting a quick move, I want price to react fast. If $BTC just sits at my entry doing nothing... red flag. I start questioning the whole setup.
The beauty of lower timeframes? You know way earlier when something's off.
Sometimes I'll just bail—not because my stop got hit, but because it's taking too damn long. If it's not moving, it's probably not gonna move the way I thought.
Price matters, obviously. But time? Just as important when deciding if a trade's still worth holding.
