🥈Silver may be gearing up for a real breakout

Tavi Costa points out that silver could be entering a true price discovery phase. And it’s happening while the gold to silver ratio sits near levels that historically marked major turning points.

⏺ The current ratio is still close to multi-decade highs
⏺ Past spikes of this size often preceded strong silver runs
⏺ The chart shows multiple years above extreme readings
⏺ Silver usually reacts when the ratio drifts far from its long-term average

It’s the kind of setup that builds quiet pressure for a move, and the market looks like it’s getting ready to test how far silver can actually go.

🪙 The Coin Flip That Teaches You Everything About Trading

Every trade is a coin flip. Heads you win, tails you lose. It sounds simple, fair, even elegant, until it’s your real money on the line.

Flip once and it feels harmless. Flip a thousand times and the math starts to work against you. Lose three in a row and even three wins can’t bring you back. That is how risk works. It is not balanced. Every loss shrinks your base, and every next win gives you less.

Most traders do not fail because they are wrong. They fail because they bet too big.

The only real edge in markets is patience. Knowing when not to play. Waiting until the odds lean in your favor and sizing your position accordingly. Big when it matters, small or flat when it does not. Most of the time, that means doing nothing.

But doing nothing feels unnatural. The mind wants movement. So we force trades that are not there, chase volatility, and mistake activity for progress.

Patience is not a virtue. It is math. It is the understanding that survival depends on saying no much more often than yes.

The best traders do not flip more coins. They flip cleaner ones. They wait for edge, for clarity, for conviction. That is how randomness turns into performance.

Before your next trade, ask yourself one question.

Would you sign your name under it?

Every position is your signature. Every decision adds to your record. If you would not proudly own it, do not take it.

When something carries your name, it should be intentional.
And if you love the game, really love it, you should want it to last.

Trader A says the edge is in the strategy. If someone learns their scans and buy points, they’ll lose it.

Trader B says the edge is in position sizing and trade management, the parts that make any strategy work.

The truth is, the edge is a hypothetical concept that lives in the mind. It exists only as long as you believe it does.
