Why Are Your Trades Always 'Feeding the Fish'? A Deep Analysis of the Fatal Traps in Human Weakness In the world of trading, managers of internal groups are often exhausted, while group members consistently reap little. What psychological secrets lie behind this? Many people self-deprecatingly call themselves 'chives', but few truly understand why they are constantly harvested by the market. From a psychological perspective, the inability to control one's actions stems from the urge for instant gratification. The brain is naturally inclined towards immediate pleasure; when market fluctuations occur, dopamine is quickly released, driving people to open trades immediately, as if seizing the moment will bring them wealth. They fantasize about trading non-stop 24 hours a day, going long when prices rise and short when they fall, missing no fluctuations. This greedy essence is an excessive pursuit of 'certainty'—they always feel that every fluctuation hides an opportunity for sudden wealth, unwilling to miss any possibility. However, the trading market is precisely a battlefield filled with uncertainty. The psychological effect of loss aversion is vividly manifested here. The pain of facing losses is far greater than the pleasure derived from equivalent gains. Therefore, even if they rationally know they need to wait for the right opportunity, the fear of missing out and the anxiety of losing out drive them to trade frequently, trying to alleviate their anxiety through action. Unbeknownst to them, frequent trading actually increases the probability of making mistakes, falling into a vicious cycle of 'the more you trade, the more you lose'. Why do we say 'losers can't trade well'? Here, 'losers' essentially refer to people who lack self-control. The restraint required in trading is, in fact, a manifestation of the ability to delay gratification. High-level traders understand that 'good hunters wait well'; they can restrain their impulses, endure the anxiety of being in cash, and wait for truly suitable opportunities. Those lacking this ability are like puppets controlled by their emotions, losing direction in the waves of the market. To break through in trading, one must first confront their inner weaknesses. When you find yourself unable to resist blindly opening trades, it may be wise to stop and ask yourself: is this a rational judgment, or is it my emotions at play? Only by overcoming human greed and fear, and learning to coexist with uncertainty, can one escape the fate of being 'chives' and move steadily forward in the trading market.
