The Three Realms of Trading: From Being Led by Human Nature to Reconciling with It
In this market, what determines winning or losing has never been the market trend, but your human nature.
Trading Novice
Being led by emotions, chasing after rises, cutting losses on declines, not daring to stop losses, not daring to wait,
Greed, fear, hesitation, luck... all along being pressed down by human nature.
Trading Veteran
Beginning to learn to fight against human nature, forcibly holding back from chasing trades, pushing oneself to stop losses, pushing oneself to stay out of positions, clearly wanting to add to positions, yet forcibly restraining, relying on discipline and reason to battle instincts.
Trading Expert
Reconciling with human nature, not resisting, not struggling, taking a break when needed, being decisive when it’s time to act,
Calmly accepting losses, steadily advancing during profits, not rushing, not being anxious, not fearing missing out, and not afraid of losing once.
Understanding: the market is unpredictable, human nature has weaknesses, but the rhythm can always be controlled.
A true expert is not someone whose emotions are absolutely calm,
but someone who knows that they will fluctuate, yet can still uphold principles and maintain rhythm amidst the fluctuations.
