  Stop Chasing Trades: How Patience & a Plan Improves Your Entries & Risk | Futures Day Trading

  Sep 11, 202637 minS2

  In this episode of the Market Mamas trader psychology podcast, futures trader and host Becky Gaskell explores one of the biggest challenges many day traders face: being correct about the market direction but still losing because of poor timing and impatience. Becky breaks down the concept of FIFO (First In, First Out) in trading and explains how entering a trade too early can damage risk-to-reward, increase emotional pressure, and turn a strong trade idea into a losing position. She shares her own experiences with getting stopped out before the move happens and discusses why waiting for confirmation, better entries, and proper trade management can dramatically improve outcomes.

Key Takeaways : Direction Isn’t Everything: A correct market idea can still lose with poor entry timing. Early Entries Hurt Risk-Reward: Entering before confirmation can increase losses and reduce trade quality. Patience Improves Execution: Waiting for confirmation leads to better entries and fewer emotional decisions. Avoid Emotional Trading: Getting stopped out before a move can trigger frustration and revenge trades. Confirm Before Risking: Structure breaks, retracements, and price reactions can strengthen entries. Episode Timestamps: [00:00:00] - Intro [00:06:46] - Why traders rush entries: momentum, anticipation, FOMO, and the fear that price will leave without them. [00:12:02] - How entering after a move is already underway can turn a strong setup into a poor risk-to-reward trade. [00:17:59] - Using the retracement and bearish rollover to find a better entry with less time spent in drawdown. [00:24:58] - Building entry criteria around confirmation, engulfing candles, retracements, VWAP, and rejection. [00:28:52] - How frustration after being stopped out can turn into chasing, oversizing, and revenge trading. [00:34:55] - A real example of patience being rewarded after waiting for the break, retracement, and secondary confirmation.

  Sep 4, 202657 minS2

  In this episode of Market Mamas , futures trader and host Becky Gaskel l sits down with Trieu Nguyen to explore his unconventional path into trading and the lessons he learned directly from experienced Wall Street professionals. Trieu shares how his journey moved from pre-med and medical school to professional photography, eventually leading him to connections with senior professionals at Fisher Investments and veteran Wall Street traders. Through those relationships, he learned to view the market from an institutional perspective, focusing on price action, volume, market structure, and the movement of big money rather than relying heavily on indicators. Now Trieu is paying it forward with running his trading community and agreeing to share some of that wisdom with us today here at Market Mamas.
