The Essence of a Trader: A Practitioner of Unity of Knowledge and Action
True trading is not about how high the frequency of operations is, nor whether one shares results every day, but whether one can establish an effective trading system and strictly execute it. High-frequency opening of positions and switching between long and short positions are merely one style of trading, while long-term stable profitability is the core goal.
Data analysis, macro policies, candlestick theory, on-chain indicators... the purpose of these tools is to help traders form a logical closed loop, rather than to engage in empty discussions. Because the market changes too quickly, pure theorists find it hard to survive.
Bloggers who can continuously output insights have mostly gone through practical battles; their viewpoints often align more closely with real market trends.
Excellent traders are definitely those who combine theory and practice. They continuously optimize their strategies and adapt to market changes, rather than blindly following trends or acting on emotions. Winning and losing is the norm, but the key lies in whether one can summarize rules from each trade and enhance their understanding.
No one studies tedious data every day just for the sake of “talking big.” A true trader is one who verifies their logic with real money and maintains rationality amidst market fluctuations. Whether you are a short-term sniper or a long-term planner, as long as you can achieve unity of knowledge and action, you are a qualified trader.
