On the road of trading, many people get stuck at a stage: the harder you work, the worse you lose. Reviewing, summarizing, and watching the market, without missing any, wishing to seize every opportunity. And the result? The account becomes thinner, and people become more confused.
In fact, you haven't figured out one thing: making money doesn't rely on seizing all market movements, but rather on letting go of the majority of them. "Of the three thousand weak waters, only one scoop is taken"—this saying is not just for fun.
Those who can make a living from trading are not because they can predict the market. On the contrary, they know they cannot predict, so they only engage in the market movements they understand. Using fixed patterns to repeatedly seize specific opportunities—this is the truth.
When first entering the market, everyone thinks they are a genius, believing they can catch highs and lows, and profit from volatility. This is not wrong; it is a tuition fee to be paid. But the problem is that this "omnipotence illusion" will make you keep taking action, always thinking that more trading will lead to more profits.
Only after being hurt and scared by the market will you understand: giving up on seizing every opportunity is the beginning of making money. This transformation is painful but must be experienced.
Do you remember the "impossible triangle of trading" I mentioned before? There is no market movement that has a high win rate, a large profit-loss ratio, and more opportunities. What truly determines how much you earn in the end is exactly those moments when you do not trade—restrain your hands and be patient.
