Great traders = great decision makers

Trading is like sports. At its core, trading is a decision-making game.

The best athletes in the world succeed not because they can run the fastest or jump the highest. They're the best because they can make the right decision in a split second.

Tom Brady is not the best because of how hard he can pass, but how he can read the defense in a blink and deliver the ball to the right receiver instantly.

Trading is no different.

Every day, you're faced with split-second choices:

Do I cut the loss?
Do I scale into this trade
Do I take profits here, or let it ride?

If you struggle to make those calls quickly, then the best way to fix it is not by reading more theory, but by spending an absurd amount of time around traders who already make those split-second calls well.

Being a room with decisive traders rewires your instincts. The goal isn't to make decisions, but to make the right ones, faster than anyone else.
