The Wealth Gap in Trading: Why Ordinary People Always Lose While Experts Can Win Every Time
In the trading market, the thickness of one's wallet seems to truly determine success or failure. Ordinary people always stumble, and the root cause can really be summed up in two words - impatience.
Look at those who have a million; they can seize a 30% market wave and pocket 300,000, then calmly wait for the next reliable opportunity. But those with only 100,000 are different; even if they make 30,000, their greed cannot be satisfied. They always feel that money comes too slowly, their eyes wide open as they search for opportunities in the market. At the slightest hint of movement, they want to rush in, and the more frequently they trade, the worse their losses become.
In the end, what drags down ordinary people is not the lack of capital, but the various pressures in life and the anxiety in their hearts. They always treat trading like a job, thinking that doing more will earn them more, but little do they realize that being “busy” in this field can actually deplete their capital.
Now look at those true experts; their trading rhythm is so slow that it makes others anxious. They never blindly fiddle with the market every day, only focusing on those “key positions that can be hit in one strike.” Whenever there's a hint of hesitation, they prefer to refrain rather than take risks. Just like an old hunter waiting, they would rather hide behind a tree for three months than shoot at uncertain prey. This is what is meant by “three years of preparation for one battle, one battle to be satisfied.”
Only when their trading system gives a clear signal do they go all out; once they enter the market, they follow the trend, taking as much as the market gives without being greedy; once they exit, they obediently wait with an empty position, not in the least bit impatient.
To be honest, the pitfalls that ordinary people fall into because of “impatience” in trading sometimes feel like an incurable disease. If you want to stand out in this field, you must develop a “wealthy mindset” - being patient enough to wait for good opportunities, not being led by greed and life pressures. Achieving this means you have touched the threshold of trading excellence.
