$BTC $ETH Want to succeed in trading? First, endure the 'Cognitive Anxiety Period'
Trading is not about being smart, but about 'enduring'
Many people think that successful trading requires quick reactions, strong skills, and a high win rate. In fact, that's not the case; I am not a genius either. When I first entered the industry, I made all the common mistakes that novices do—frequent trading, heavy gambling, chasing highs and cutting losses, stubbornly holding onto losses.
My detours: The more I learned, the more confused I became
When I first entered the circle in 2019, I attributed my losses to insufficient skills, so I frantically studied various indicators (Elliott Wave Theory, Bollinger Bands, candlestick patterns, Gann Theory, etc.). The result was that the more I learned, the more chaotic my mind became: indicators contradicted each other, viewpoints conflicted, and I didn’t know how to proceed.
Breakthrough point: From 'Miscellaneous Learning' to 'Simplification'
Later, I realized that the problem was not a lack of skills, but cognitive anxiety—I had learned a bunch of knowledge but hadn't formed my own trading framework. So I began to change:
Streamline: Keep only the most core and effective indicators.
Focus: Only study a few trading varieties and only trade the markets that I can truly understand.
Shift focus: From pursuing 'learning a lot' to pursuing 'using well'.
Result: Only by enduring can you see the truth
After simplifying, my trading thought process became exceptionally clear. This cognitive anxiety period is a necessary path. If you can't endure it, you will forever be trapped in a cycle of constantly changing strategies and systems, making it difficult to truly progress.
