Being liquidated is not because you are not smart, but because you want to win too quickly.
Right now, too many people do not understand what rolling positions means. They think adding positions is just about aggressively buying when the price goes up and stubbornly holding when it goes down. As a result, even if they correctly predict the direction, their accounts end up being wiped out first.
Honestly, these past few years, I have survived by 'rolling profits'. You put in 1,000 to test things out, use the profits to roll the positions, and if the market is favorable, you ride it all the way. If not, you accept the loss and come back later. It’s that boring, emotionless, and passionless, yet the account becomes more stable.
I’m not against heavy positions; I just never gamble recklessly when things are uncertain.
But now many people have an account of 10,000 and open positions worth 9,800, thinking they can make 50% and then leave. As a result, one false breakout leads to a halving of their account, and they can’t even vomit.
Those who truly know how to trade fundamentally have one mindset: if the market hasn’t started, they can tolerate being out of positions; when the rhythm is right, they strike hard. What you earn is not luck, but a sense of rhythm + rolling position mechanism.
To put it simply, don’t bother with those incomprehensible trading strategies and indicators; first, understand one thing:
The principal is life, profits are bullets, and real market situations are about using bullets to exchange for wealth, not risking your life for luck.
I’ve experienced losses, endured hardships, and also turned things around.
I know what it feels like to be in the market.
Don’t rush; take your time, but don’t walk blindly.
