Trust and Release – 4 Times to LET Your Trade Go
Every trader knows the feeling.
You’ve done all the homework, lined up every signal, and double-checked your risk. It’s like preparing to jump out of a plane with your parachute strapped on – exhilarating, but just a little nerve-wracking.
When you’ve put in the work, planned the trade, and set it in motion, there’s only one thing left to do:
Let it go.
Trust the process and release the trade.
Here are four clear-cut signs it’s time to step back and trust your strategy.
SIGN #1: The System Lined Up Perfectly
You’ve got a strategy for a reason.
You trust it, you’ve backtested it, and it’s made it through countless simulations and reviews.
Whether you’re trading Forex, JSE Top 40 or even the Dow Jones Index.
When all the indicators in your system align, it’s time to act, not hesitate.
Remember, the market rewards action, not perfection.
If your system says “go,” then go. No second-guessing.
J.T.T.T – Just Take The Trade
SIGN #2: Your Entry Orders Are All in Place
You’ve placed your entry orders and planned each move with the same precision as a grandmaster in chess.
So why keep checking every tick?
If you’ve calculated your entry points and set them with intention, then you’ve done your job.
This is your chance to let the market do the rest.
Obsessing over every micro-move will only drag you into a rabbit hole of doubt.
Set it and step away.
SIGN #3: It Matches Your Risk & Reward Criteria
Your trade has a purpose, and you’ve defined it by setting your risk and reward limits.
When your setup meets these criteria, there’s no reason to stick around second-guessing the play.
You know your max loss, and you know your target profit. You’ve thought it through rationally, and now it’s time to trust that process.
You’re here to be a professional, not a perfectionist.
SIGN #4: You’ve Nailed Down Your Trade Size
Position sizing is a science in itself, and you’ve already done the math.
You’re not risking more than you’re willing to lose, and you’re confident in the upside.
If you’ve set your trade size according to your plan, you’ve already protected your capital.
The last thing you need is to add or subtract impulsively. Let the size stay as it is and let the market move.
Conclusion: Trust and Release
Trading is as much about discipline as it is about analysis.
If you’ve done the work, checked off every box, and know your limits, the best thing you can do is walk away and let your trade breathe.
Micromanaging won’t make you money; it’ll just wear you out.
The market is like a river – you can’t force it to flow your way. You can only guide your boat down the path you’ve chosen and let the current do its thing.
When you’ve planned the trade, trust yourself enough to leave it alone.
So let’s sum up the FOUR signs to let your trade go.
