Mark MinerviniA confirmed uptrend with zero actionable setups out of 336 names tells me one thing: the market is extended, and quality bases simply aren’t there. I don’t force trades into a thin tape. When my scan comes back empty, that’s the market telling me to sit on my hands and build my watchlist for the next leg. Cash is a position. The best traders I know make their money waiting, not chasing. I’ll keep scanning daily, but I won’t lower my standards just to feel productive.
