Many traders have entered positions earlier with substantially larger positions than you. Yet some investors still managed to outperform them. The secret? Conviction and patience. The ability to hold when others sell. On the flip side, plenty of people have watched their gains evaporate through the same mechanism—they simply didn't stick around long enough. Success and failure in this market often come down to one factor: who can outlast the volatility. Entry price matters less than you think. Position size matters less than you think. But how long you're willing to hold? That changes everything.
