Not making money is mostly driven by emotions.
Market fluctuations are normal, but what truly affects your profits and losses is your reaction to volatility.
Panic, greed, regret, FOMO... If these emotions are not controlled, trading will become frequent and unbalanced.
In a bull market, not making money is mostly because you are afraid to buy when prices rise and rush to sell when they fall.
Mature investors are never led by market trends; they are patient and disciplined.
True experts are not the most accurate, but the most stable.
