The Market Doesn’t Owe You Action
The market doesn't owe you action. I had one of those sleepy sessions last week. The Iran peace deal hit and got crickets. Nvidia served up a nothing burger right behind it. The market just sat there. You could feel traders trying to force stuff into a tape that did not want to play. This is the hardest skill in trading. It is also the one that separates the traders who keep what they earn from the traders who give it all back. So let me walk you through how I read sleepy markets and the one position rule I trade by whether the market is dead or screaming. Sleepy days are not problems to fix. Read them as the market telling you to chill. When the session is giving you nothing, the only right move is taking nothing back. Most traders cannot do this. They come in expecting action
