English term or phrase: carry your refinement of caution so far
You could, no doubt, carry your refinement of caution so far that your percentage of success, instead of being a mere 60, 70, or 80%, might approach 90%; you might actually be right 95% of the time in your decisions. But this extreme conservatism would also mean that you would trade only in the very finest possible situations, when every factor was clean-cut and favorable. You would not have such opportunities very often.
