Many investors just hold the mouse and frantically place orders every day, thinking that this is what trading is all about. However, the result of such frequent trading is often a loss. Why is that? Because market fluctuations account for 70%, while trends only account for 30%. In trading, we can only make money when we trade in trending markets. This trend can be large or small; it may only last a few minutes, hours, days, or even months.

Therefore, waiting is also an important part of trading. More trades do not mean more opportunities to make money; it is not the number of trades but the quality of trades that matters. "In trading, 'it’s better to miss out than to make a mistake.'" Making a mistake will certainly lead to unnecessary losses, but missing out is fine. We should not regret or lament losing an opportunity. We must always hold this thought: as long as the market doesn't crash, we have opportunities every day. Have you ever seen a crocodile chase its prey like a lion or tiger? After a failed ambush, it will return to its original position and quietly wait for the next opportunity to come; this is something we can learn from. Don't be upset if you didn't trade today. After blindly creating opportunities and failing in trades, you will regret and hate yourself for not controlling your hands.
