In the market, most people do not lose due to direction, but due to reaction. When making a profit, the reluctance to exit is because greed quietly tells you that maybe it can rise a little more. But you know very well that every additional moment spent increases the risk behind it. When losing, the stubbornness comes from fear that prevents you from facing reality. You are unwilling to accept it, you argue with yourself that this is just a temporary pullback. But the market never cares about your obsession; it only respects execution. You think you are waiting for the market trend, but in reality, you are waiting for an illusion, hoping that the trend will return to a position you can accept. Then you exit gracefully, as if nothing ever happened. But reality will not cooperate with your illusions; it only punishes those who refuse to admit their mistakes. Real trading is not about how quickly you can make money, but whether you can have a basis for decision-making amidst volatility, making choices. Whether to take profits or dare to cut losses is not about the courage to act frequently. It's about whether you clearly understand when to act on signals and when to let emotions take a backseat. You cannot control the market, but you can control yourself. The essence of trading has never been about how much you earn, but whether you can maintain your rationality in one game after another.
