After trading for a long time, you will understand a truth: trading should not be about burying your head in hard work; you should look up and see the road more often.
At the beginning, you always want to run a little faster, make a few more trades, put in a heavy position, and earn quickly. But as you go further, you become clearer that trading is not about who runs faster, but about who can maintain their rhythm and go further.
Sometimes, when the market doesn't offer opportunities, you should slow down instead. Take a break, review your previous operations, and think about how to proceed next: should you defend? Attack? Adjust the system? Or reposition yourself?
This is actually the 'balance in trading'; it’s not about charging forward every day, but learning to find that rhythm that suits you between aggression and restraint. Truly mature trading is not about being hot-blooded, but knowing when to act, when to rest, and when to gather strength.
Just like sharpening a knife, spending time refining your system, adjusting your mindset, and summarizing past actions may seem like you're not making money, but in fact, you are building energy for the next trend.
The road of trading is long; there's no need to rush to outpace everyone. Maintain your rhythm, and if you walk steadily, you will go far.
