Rush and Choke: Why the Patient Dog Wins in the Markets

Where I come from, the expression “the patient dog eats the fattest bone” is sometimes seen as a myth—mostly because people want to get it fast. But that mindset doesn’t work in trading.

In this game, you have to be patient. Rushing into trades, chasing the market, or trying to force profits will only lead to unnecessary losses. If you’re not careful, that "bone" you’re so eager to grab might just get stuck in your throat.

Patience in trading means waiting for the right setup, managing your emotions, and trusting your strategy. It’s about playing the long game, not the fast one.

So remember: in the markets, the patient dog doesn’t just eat—the patient dog feasts.
