In the market, many traders often fall into the illusion created by 'greed, anger, and ignorance,' becoming puppets pulled by the invisible threads of superficial market prices.
Their minds swing violently with the ups and downs, with emotions overriding decision-making. The root cause lies in a lack of understanding of market operating rules and response logic, as well as a complete absence of a rigorous trading system. Instead, their decision-making is based solely on subjective likes and dislikes and blind pursuit of small profits. This shallow understanding and systemic vacuum inevitably hatch uncontrolled behavior and poor results—frequently entering trades 'too impatiently,' 'unable to hold' profitable positions, 'not cutting losses' and allowing losses to run, and 'randomly taking profits' and missing potential, creating a tragic cycle that repeats itself. Even more tragically, every critical decision is completely dominated by the fluctuating moods and states of that moment!
In contrast, mature traders are grounded in a profound understanding and respect for the essence of the market. They construct and adhere to a precise trading system, using rules to tame the wild horse of emotion, replacing impulsive actions with planned responses. The core of their decision-making is risk control and probability advantage, rather than the temptation or fear of immediate fluctuations. They deeply understand the value of patiently waiting for high-probability opportunities, possess the discipline to let profits run, and have the resolve to cut losses decisively and adhere strictly to stop-loss rules. Ultimately, they pursue stable profits through consistent execution over long periods, which is essentially a financial alchemy that pits rationality and discipline against human instincts and market noise.
