2026 trading notes: Setting buy limit orders at specific price levels has saved me countless times. When you stick to predetermined entries, emotions don't get in the way. The hardest part? Watching a trade move without you, but that beats FOMOing into positions you didn't actually want. Discipline beats impulse every single time.

Watching the market soar but not getting in really sucks, but this time not having FOMO definitely saved my wallet.

Limit orders have really saved me several times, especially the feeling of watching the market soar without getting on board... It’s so frustrating.

I've long understood this system well; limit orders can really save lives. The key is still knowing when to stop.

Basically, you just have to endure. Holding back and not acting impulsively is a hundred times better than reckless movement.

ngl the hardest recipe to execute is always the one where you gotta let the ingredients marinate without touching them... watched a fat move slip past yesterday but honestly? my limit orders saved the whole dish from burning. discipline's the only seasoning that actually works every time

To be honest, I've also used limit orders before, that feeling of clearly seeing the upward trend but watching it stubbornly fly away is really torturous.

Limit orders, huh? The medical records show that many retail investors fall for FOMO. Basically, it's because they haven't set proper stop-loss levels and preset points. Your methodology is indeed a progressive treatment plan, but the key question is how many people can stick with it and follow through?
