Shubham Agarwal, CEO of Quantsapp, emphasises that effective trading is not just about knowing when to adjust positions, but also about recognising situations where no adjustment is the best strategy. According to him, many traders overreact to short-term price fluctuations, which often leads to unnecessary costs and suboptimal outcomes.
Agarwal points out that trades built on strong probability structures should be allowed sufficient time to play out. Adjusting positions too earlyтАФespecially when the original market thesis remains intactтАФcan erode edge and increase risk. He notes that adjustments made out of fear or impatience often do more harm than good.
He further highlights that in low-volatility or range-bound markets, frequent tinkering with trades can significantly reduce returns due to higher transaction costs and slippage. In such conditions, maintaining discipline and sticking to predefined risk parameters is crucial.
Agarwal concludes that successful trading requires emotional control, clarity of strategy, and respect for statistical probabilities. Knowing when not to act is just as important as timely execution, and this restraint often separates consistent traders from the rest.
