Feeling stuck in cash and second-guessing your edge? You're not alone—and you're definitely not doing it wrong. In this episode of The Trader’s Mindchat Show, Mike Lamott tackles one of the toughest phases in trading: sideways, choppy markets that can shake even the most seasoned traders.

Mike shares a powerful mindset shift that’ll help you stay confident even when your system isn’t firing, and he introduces a simple, effective framework—the Three Lenses of Market Readiness—to help you know exactly when to take action and when to stay on the sidelines.

Plus, he unpacks:

• Why confidence built on outcomes is fragile—and how to root it in process

• The real danger of forcing trades just to feel productive

• How to apply Ted Williams’ “happy zone” strategy to your own setups

• How to use market mood tracking and journaling to stay sharp

• What to do while you wait so you're ready when the trend returns

• The secret to progressive exposure so you scale safely when the market flips green

Whether you’re a seasoned trader or just getting started, this episode will help you reframe quiet market periods as preparation—not punishment.

🎯 Remember: There are no called strikes in trading. Wait for the fat pitch.
