Wake up to another trading week with a clear game plan. The first thing every serious trader should do on Monday morning: pull up those weekly charts and study exactly where they closed.
That's your baseline. From there, map out your key support zones—these are your anchors in a volatile market. Set your alerts precisely, then step back. This is where most traders fail: they can't wait. They chase setups that aren't there, force entries that shouldn't happen.
The truth? Patience separates winners from everyone else. Let the market come to your levels. Let the setup present itself. Don't go hunting for trades—build the infrastructure, set your boundaries, and when the price action hits your zones, you'll be ready. That's the difference between reactive trading and planned trading.

That's true, but to be honest, most people can't do it at all, and I can't either.

Honestly, I do follow this process when looking at the weekly chart on Monday, but sticking with it is really difficult... The worst part is setting the support zone and then watching the K-line jump around helplessly, making me itch to buy the dip.

That's right, but most people can't do it, really. I myself am the same way; I get itchy to trade when I see the charts, but in the end, I lose more over the week. Developing the habit of checking the weekly chart on Monday is essential.

That's right, but I found that most people simply can't stick to this process... On Monday, I opened the chart again and started to get itchy, but in the end, I chased the trades and lost a week's profit.

That's true, but honestly, most people can't actually do this... I often get itchy myself, and as soon as I see the weekly chart, I want to go all in.
