Why 'Unlimited Time' Makes You a Worse Trader

  ## Parkinson's Law
  *"Work expands to fill the time available for its completion."*
  
  When firms had 30-day limits, traders had urgency. They executed.
  
  Now? Traders hold losing trades for weeks, hoping they come back. "I have unlimited time," they say. 
  
  **Result:** They bleed out slowly instead of failing fast and learning.
  
  ### The Omega Advice
  Set your OWN time limit. Give yourself 20 trading days. If you can't pass in 20 days, you aren't ready for a funded account.
