Recently, the market has been so quiet that it makes one anxious, but I remind myself: the more it is like this, the more you must stay at the table.

Of course, persistence doesn't mean blindly operating without thought.

I have seen too many people curse and leave during turbulent periods, only to miss out on sudden market movements. The market won't rise at your alarm clock's signal, but you must ensure that you are still present when it is celebrating.

Now, every day before the market opens, I spend half an hour reviewing overnight developments. Although it may not be useful in the short term, sensitivity to information is built through daily habits. Do you remember that half-year-long sideways market in 2023? Those who persisted in data review during that time later recognized the earliest signs of trends.

To be honest, the torment of a turbulent period is like the point of exhaustion in fitness – you can only grow your muscles by pushing through it. Those who exit during the bumps will never experience the thrill of riding the waves in a trending market.
