In this episode of Mind Over Markets, George Papazov explores why the best traders often trade less, not more. Many traders struggle because they operate beyond their mental and strategic capacity, leading to overtrading, emotional decisions, and unnecessary losses. George explains how aligning your expectations with your capacity, focusing on fewer high-quality setups, and preserving mental energy leads to more consistent and stress-free trading. He also introduces an upcoming webinar on Market by Order (MBO) and how it reveals key liquidity levels before price reaches them.Key Takeaways
