Many people think the biggest enemy in trading is market volatility, market makers, policy changes, etc., but they overlook that your ultimate opponent on the trading journey is not the market, but yourself, and it will always be yourself!
Greed is the culprit that makes you lose money.
When the market rises, you fear missing out and chase the highs; when the market falls, you fear further declines and sell.
Greed makes you reluctant to sell at high points, while fear makes you afraid to buy at low points.
And the result? Buying high and selling low, perfectly missing out on all profitable opportunities.
Emotions are the biggest bug in trading
When the market fluctuates, you panic; when the K-line pulls back, you run.
Others flaunt their profits, and you feel anxious; others shout 'buy the dip', and you act impulsively.
Emotional trading is like driving with your eyes closed; you'll crash sooner or later!
Real trading experts are like 'robots', strictly following their strategies and not swayed by emotions.
Overconfidence makes you overlook market risks.
Winning a few times makes you feel enlightened; the market is a cash machine.
What risk management? What stop-loss? They don't exist!
Heavy positions, all in, leverage maxed out... the market teaches you what 'awe' is in minutes; a halved account is mild.
Refusing to admit mistakes will ultimately leave you with nothing.
Wrong direction? Impossible!
It must be the market's fault! You have to hold the position and wait to break even!
As the holes get deeper, you turn from short-term trading to 'value investing', ultimately ending up at zero.
Ignorance is the root cause of your losses.
90% of people in the market lose money, not because the market is too difficult, but because they don't even understand the most basic market rules.
Not understanding cycles leads to chasing highs and cutting losses;
Not understanding risks leads to heavy positions and all-in bets;
Not understanding human nature leads to being toyed with by market makers.
Trading is not gambling, but a monetization of cognition. The deeper your understanding, the fatter your wallet.
Laziness is the shackle that keeps you stagnant.
The market changes every day, but many people still trade using last year's methods.
Not learning new techniques, not reviewing past mistakes, not optimizing strategies...
The result is: jumping into the same pit repeatedly; suffering the same losses over and over.
Trading is like rowing upstream; if you don't advance, you will retreat.
The K-line chart is dead, technical indicators are tools, news is noise; what really determines the life or death of your account is the monsters that arise in your mind when facing these: greed, fear, luck, stubbornness, arrogance...
No matter how powerful technical analysis is, it can only help you find the battlefield and weapons. To truly win this battle, you rely on mental strategies, taming the monster of emotions inside you! What is the best skill of market manipulators? It's not controlling the market, but manipulating your emotions, making you buy out of greed and sell out of fear.
Therefore, trading is actually a brutal cognitive battle + psychological war. The opponent's position is just a facade; the ultimate boss is your own cognitive flaws and human weaknesses. The market won't lose money for you; it will only transfer money from those who don't understand to those who do. No matter how fast the market manipulators' scythes are, they are still cutting the leeks that grow in your heart.
Overcome yourself!
