In trading, what matters more than catching the market is this!

The most common mistake in trading is that one's heart always follows the market, forgetting to stabilize oneself first. The market has fluctuations every day, but the opportunities that truly belong to you are actually few.

Many times, it's not that the market isn't good enough, but rather that the heart is too eager. Before familiar signals appear, one can't help but want to enter, fearing missing out on the fluctuations; when the signal does appear, one hesitates on whether to act, ultimately watching the opportunity slip away. The crux of the matter is that one hasn't learned to remain calm during periods without signals.

When signals appear, one should act decisively and not hesitate. But it’s important to understand that a signal is just a starting point and does not guarantee significant market movements afterward. Any entry point is a balance point of supply and demand, and it can either move up or reverse down; this is the norm of the market.

If you're wrong, exit promptly; don't cling to the hope of "waiting a little longer"; if you're right, follow your pre-established plan on when to add positions, when to reduce positions, and when to lock in profits. These should be thought through before entering, then executed accordingly. Only exit calmly when the market gives a clear signal to do so.

This is what people often refer to as "plan your trade, trade your plan." The former is about thoroughly thinking through the rules before entering, while the latter is about executing the rules during your position.

In trading, the quality of the market is never up to the individual, but whether one can seize their own opportunities depends entirely on the ability to remain calm and stick to the plan. Focus less on "will the market come" and practice more on "when the signal arrives, am I willing to act, can I acknowledge when I'm wrong, and can I hold on when I'm right"; this is far more useful than staring at the ups and downs every day.

After all, the market is never short of fluctuations; what it lacks are those who can hold onto themselves amidst the fluctuations. #币安八周年
