Don't make small profits, and don't incur big losses. A must-read for investors
This sounds simple, but it's very difficult to achieve!
Here's an example you might have experienced: You opened a long position with 20,000 USDT, and it rose to 21,000. You were afraid of a pullback, so you took profit, earning 5%, feeling great.
But then the market surged directly to 25,000! You made 5%, but missed out on 50%. Frustrating, right?
You tell yourself: "Next time, I need to hold on and make big money!"
So you open another position at 20,000. When it rises to 21,000, you hold on, but then the market reverses and drops, crashing through 20,000 to 19,500. You can't take it anymore and stop-loss out, losing money for nothing...
Does this sound familiar? This is the vicious cycle that most people can't escape.
So is there a way to make money in both big and small markets?
Unfortunately, no!
In trading, you must make choices:
Either make small profits and ensure stability
Or only catch big trends, resisting short-term temptations
I choose the latter; I don't make small profits, I wait for big opportunities!
Why?
Because true wealth isn't built on frequent trades; it's built on capturing one big trend + protecting your profits!
Make 200% on one wave, hold onto it, then come back for another wave and make another 200%. This is the secret of compounding.
But if you keep earning and losing, making 200% and then giving it back, why work so hard? Many people go their whole lives without finding the right path.
If you start to realize now: it's not about trading more to make more money, it's not about making a few points to get rich, but rather
You need to learn: wait, hold, be decisive!
Wait for the right position, protect your profits, and dare to act at the critical moment!
This requires: a steady mindset! Enough patience! Enough courage! Not afraid of missing opportunities! Not being swayed by short-term fluctuations!
Are you willing, when everyone else is frantically chasing short-term trades, to choose to stay out of the market? When everyone else is cutting losses and exiting, are you brave enough to go all in? If you can do these, you deserve the next opportunity for financial freedom!
Trading isn't about getting rich by luck; it's about surviving through insight, rhythm, and understanding.
Those who play around without care are always losing money; but you, if you're already on the "road," have at least won half the battle!
And now the market presents an opportunity; prepare some spare cash, control your position well to gamble on a pullback after reaching new highs, and use this small fund to exchange for greater returns
