Trading Psychology: Keep Your Heart to Go Far
The essence of trading is a game against oneself. What the K-line fluctuates is not numbers, but the human nature of greed, anger, ignorance, sloth, and doubt being displayed in real-time.
Most people fail due to 'seeking'—seeking high profits, seeking quick victories. A slight fluctuation in the market throws them into chaos; in chasing highs and cutting losses, their capital becomes a sacrifice to emotions. True traders succeed by 'guarding': guarding the boundaries of their understanding, firmly avoiding markets they do not comprehend; guarding their operational discipline, treating profit-taking and loss-cutting as unwavering rules; guarding their inner peace, not rejoicing excessively in profits, nor belittling themselves in losses.
The market never makes mistakes; it is our misconceptions about the market that are wrong. Spend less time staring at the screen and more time observing your heart. When the restlessness of the heart settles, trading is no longer a gamble, but a practice of following the rules. With a calm heart, profits will come uninvited. $BTC $ETH
