Depends on your trading plan, no?
If your predefined rules define the entry strategy, there should be no fomo
Why wait for a pullback?
Because the profit potential if the market pulls back will be greater and the risk will be smaller. If you're uncertain if a pullback is due or not, it's possible to use OCO orders and work a buy stop above and a buy limit below market. Ideally, if the market takes off you'll get on board with your buy stop. It it trades lower instead you'll get in at a better price.
But again, this simple question really relates to what market you're trading, time frame, strategy and so on.

And every time you didn't wait for a pull back you made money?
Come on, man.
Half the time I can't tell if you're joking or serious.
Hello Laissez Faire,
Exactly, do you see how the conversation is meaningless because everyone is right.
There is no right or wrong answer.
My point is, its all guessing anyway. So just do whatever you want to do and have time to do.
I only have 15 minutes to trade per day. So I can not wait for no pull back.
If you only have 15 minutes to trade, then maybe it's not a good idea to day trade in the first place.
Waiting for a pullback or not can be the difference between making money or not when day trading futures.
What's the opportunity cost of waiting for a pullback (i.e loss profit potential). It's 2 sided equation here.
